I am a native speaker, originally from the Ain region of France, at the foot of the Jura mountains.
I have lived in this country for over 30 years and I am a qualified teacher, with a PGCE from Nottingham University as well as a translator.
I worked in secondary schools , for over 13 years and I am therefore comfortable with the Uk education system, having prepared students for CGSE and A level for many years. I have also prepared adults for the French qualifications Delf B1, B2 and Dalf C1 with total success each time.
Learning a language will intrigue you, amuse you, enhance your self-confidence and make you discover your own language.
Are you afraid of grammar? I understand French grammar very well and can simplify the process for you. Think of it as Lego! Subject-verb-object and you have built a sentence!
Are you self-conscious when speaking another language? Practising regularly in the safe and relaxed environment of our lessons will allow you to develop your confidence.
But learning a language should also definitely be fun. If you enjoy travelling, learning the language of that country (even at beginner level) will transform your travels into richer adventures, give you a feeling of self-satisfaction and will attract the respect of the local population.
Whether you are looking to order a meal at a restaurant or succeed at the highest level of French language exams in order to work in a francophone country, I can help you. A bientot.
