Sophie Buchaillard

I design bespoke, inclusive, tutorials, based on the needs of my student. My tutorials are informed by over twenty years of teaching experience in a variety of settings (academic and community courses). If you are looking for someone to help you practice French, and develop both your vocabulary and fluency, in a friendly and supportive environment, this is the tutorial for you.

From beginner support, to advance classes, I will offer exercises, pointers, explanations, and work with you on any aspect of the French language you need practice with, as well as recommending reading that might support developing your vocabulary. As a native French speaker, I can also contextualise the language and explain the cultural context which underpins the way French people speak.


I start each tutorial series with an assessment to understand where you are, and work with you to build a programme to help grow your confidence, building on strong grammar and diverse vocabulary.

Maybe you are working towards an exam, or are planning a holiday to France? Maybe you need to develop your language skill to help your employability? Maybe you enjoy learning a new language and the culture that underpins it. Whatever the case may be, I will work to support your personal objective.
