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

Over the past two decades, I have taught French across all ability levels, from beginners to A-level, in both classroom and one-to-one settings. I have extensive experience supporting individual students academically and pastorally, including guiding sixth-formers through UK, US and EU university applications. Since 2017, I have worked as a Cambridge and AQA examiner, gaining detailed insight into mark schemes and exam expectations. I now specialise in online tutoring.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is highly personalised and focused on each student’s specific goals. I identify gaps in knowledge and address them through tailored exercises and exam-style questions, drawing directly on examiner experience. I place strong emphasis on grammatical accuracy, clear explanations and regular review to secure long-term progress and consistency. Alongside exam preparation, I build confidence in speaking through structured conversation practice, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable learning from mistakes.
