If you want to learn French, you are at the right place. My method relies on one principle: I will teach you how to think French. I believe that by making you think like a French speaker and by making connections with what you know of your language in a fun and smart way, you will learn French quickly and efficiently.

I'm a native French speaker, born and raised in Brittany.
Teacher in the UK since 2011, worked in England and Scotland so I am familiar with GCSE, A Levels, N5, Higher and Advanced Higher.
Tutor since 2018.

Described by my students as "always patient", "so caring", "very kind" and "funny".
If you struggle with your French, know that you are not the only one. As I have helped hundreds of students (no matter what their background is, their level, their age, their nationality or gender), I can help you too.
What will each session aim to provide?
- a chance to practice talking and writing without fear of being judged
- individual feedback to keep track of your progress and decide on next steps
- reflection on what you now know and need to work on
- think like the French do
- become more confident when communicating
?Example of a typical session:
- Review of previous knowledge
- New vocabulary and grammar input through PowerPoints or Word documents, in target language (in French) as much as possible
- Practice through the 4 skills: listening, reading, writing, talking. This happens through different activities including multiple choice questions and correcting sentences with mistakes made on purpose to check your knowledge and understanding
- Review of new content learnt during the session
- Feedback from me to you but also from you to me so we can both agree on our next learning steps
Your time, your choice. If there is something specific you want to learn, we will. If you want to work on a skill in particular, we will.
