Solenne

Bonjour et bienvenue ! I am a French native from Paris and I have been teaching French in the UK since 2014. Holder of a Master’s degree (Universities of Paris La Sorbonne and René Descartes), I am also a Certified Tutor from The Alliance Française of Paris (DAEFLE: Teaching French as a Foreign Language Advanced Diploma, awarded with honours in 2014).

I offer to teach French to adults and young adult (16+) learners of all nationalities and levels, in schools, companies, training institutes or within the frame of private tuition (Online one-to-one or small group tutoring).

Whether you are:
- a 16+ student taking a degree in French (A-Level and University degrees ; DELF-DALF or NATO exams), and needing confidence for your exam,
- a professional willing to have a proper conversation with your French colleagues or clients,
- or just an adult learner with a passion for languages and wishing to brush up your French,
I will pay close attention to your learning project and I will help you to achieve your language goals.

I have an updated French Police Check and DBS Check.

Availability: I am available weekdays.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: This is my tenth year as a French as a Second/Foreign Language (FLE) full-time Tutor. I feel equally comfortable with beginners, intermediate or advanced students. I am also a French language Instructor and Assessor for the british Ministry of Defence (MoD) and a Tutor for the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Tutoring is not just guiding students through their learning but also giving them confidence and enabling them to experience lessons in a relaxed, friendly and yet result-oriented way.
That is why I tailor my lessons to the students` needs and pace (one-to-one or small group tutoring on request), in order to teach French language effectively as well as to raise awareness to the French culture.
My approach is action-oriented, based on the ability of students to communicate (speak / listen / read / write) in real life situations, according to the Common European Framework of references for Languages (CEFR).
