Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have four years of tutoring experience, including over 65 hours of French lessons for students from beginners to A-Level. I have worked with WJEC and AQA exam boards, helping students develop strong language skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Additionally, I have guided university applicants, including successful candidates for Cambridge’s History and Modern Languages programs.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is student-centred and tailored to individual goals. I focus on building foundational language skills in vocabulary, grammar, and communication while aligning with the requirements of specific exam boards like WJEC and AQA. Lessons are interactive, incorporating exercises in all language domains, with an emphasis on exam-focused preparation. I also offer resources and guidance for independent study, ensuring students maximise their progress.

Testimonials

Alex is exactly what we hoped for our daughter, who loves her coaching sessions and now has much greater confidence in French and has improved her overall performance in work, tests and end of year exams. We will continue to employ Alex to help our daughter and highly recommend her to others considering French tuition.

Stephen (GCSE French student)

“Alex has been fantastic and my daughter's confidence quickly improved. My daughter’s French teacher phoned me in April to tell me how well she was doing!”

Parent of student

"Alex has been helping my 13 yr old daughter with French for the last few months. We started during the second lockdown in January as my daughter was getting so little French input from school. Alex has been fantastic and my daughter's confidence quickly improved. We decided to keep going when the schools started back and Eliza's French teacher phoned me in April to tell me how well she was doing!"

Gwyneth, Parent

"Alex is friendly, well-organised tutor that has been providing French lessons to both my 12 and 13 year olds over the summer holidays. She has really helped to boost their command and confidence of the subject. We thank her for her efforts and have no hesitation in recommending her to others too!"
