HOW I CAN HELP:

I offer supportive one-to-one lessons for Beginner and Intermediate (A1, A2, B1) learners in German, French, Italian or English as a Foreign Language. I help both children and adults who want to achieve a functional level quickly or follow a more gradual learning pace, depending on their needs.

My approach combines flexibility with guided learning, incorporating feedback to keep students on track and motivated. I coach learners through the process, providing language support for exams, homeschooling, leisure, travel, or work preparation. I can adapt to a formal or relaxed style, bringing a supportive, encouraging and collaborative approach where you have a safe space to practice.

OUR NEXT STEPS:

Recognising that each learner is unique, we begin with a consultation session (20-60 minutes, £20) to discuss your needs. I’ll meet with you (or, for students under 18, both your child and a parent/carer) to learn about your or your child’s learning needs and explain how I work. This helps us decide if we’re a good fit to move forward with lessons.

You can go straight to the consultation or, if you prefer, I offer a free 10-15 minute video chat as a brief 'meet and greet' before booking. If you’d like, you can skip the video chat and go straight to the consultation.


Step 1:

- Optional 10-15 minute 'Meet & Greet' video chat: Free

- Consultation session 20-60 minutes: £20
