About Me
I’ve been immersed in the French language and culture since I was a child. I attended the French Lycée from the age of 4 all the way through to A levels, and then went on to study French at university. I also spent a year living in Paris, which deepened my love for the language and gave me first-hand experience of French life.
My journey as a tutor began ten years ago when I started helping my daughter with her French GCSE. This quickly grew into supporting her school friends as well, and before long, word of mouth helped me build a thriving tutoring business.
Today, I tutor students from age 11 through to GCSE, A-Level, and university level. I’m passionate about helping each student grow in confidence and skill, tailoring lessons to suit their individual needs and goals.
