Valerie

I am French and I have lived in the UK for 26 years, 20 of which have been spent teaching.
I have found it very rewarding taking each of my students on their individual learning journeys and watching them become confident in all the facets of the language.
The lessons are conducted in a relaxed and peaceful environment in my home. I am very patient and encouraging and it is important to me that my students feel at ease.
I always suggest a free, informal, introductory meeting before we start.

Availability: week days and some week ends

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have over 20 years` experience of working with adults of all ages and levels. Their drive to learn French has varied from student to student - some have wanted to learn for holidays, others were moving to France - many have done so to fulfill a personal ambition.
I have coached `A` levels and `GCSE` students and I have also spent 10 years in charge of teaching French in a primary school, to all children, from Reception to Year 6.
I understand that learning a language can initially seem a little daunting but I will support you with a clear and thorough, step by step approach. In each session my aim is to make you feel confident and able to use the tools we have learnt in a way that is relevant to you.
... most find the biggest step is just deciding to give it a go!
