Alain

Bonjour! I am a fully qualified teacher (PGCE/QTS) and fluent French speaker with over 15 years of experience delivering high-quality, engaging online lessons.
I specialise in providing interactive virtual tutoring for Primary Maths, high-stakes French exams (GCSE, DELF, TCF, TEF), and adult language learners at all levels. Because my sessions are 100% online, you or your child can access top-tier, tailored education from the comfort of home, completely adapted to your schedule.
My background spans over a decade as a primary school classroom teacher, an official National Tutoring Programme (NTP) intervention tutor, and a Local Authority adult education lecturer. I leverage this extensive experience alongside modern educational technology to ensure online learning is just as impactful, focused, and dynamic as face-to-face teaching. I am fully proficient in Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, and interactive digital slides, using these tools to keep lessons highly engaging and structured.
Whether your child needs to build confidence in primary numeracy, you are aiming for top marks in a professional French proficiency exam, or you are an adult learner wanting to speak fluent French, I adapt my pace to match yours. My mission is to build confidence, foster a love for learning, and deliver visible academic progress.

This includes preparing students for high-stakes secondary and professional exams such as GCSE, DELF, TCF, and TEF, as well as helping adult learners build conversational fluency from scratch. I utilise advanced digital toolkits—including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Classroom, and interactive Google Slides—to create an immersive, highly engaging virtual classroom environment that mirrors face-to-face learning.
• Primary Maths & Core Subjects Tutor
Working as a 1:1 tutor and a volunteer educator, I have extensive experience teaching Primary Maths, English, and Science. I specialise in breaking down foundational numeracy and mathematical concepts into simple, clear steps. Every lesson is meticulously tailored to the child`s individual learning needs, boosting both their academic performance and classroom confidence.
• Qualified Primary School Teacher & Supply Teacher
I have spent over 15 years teaching across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (Years 1 to 6) in both mainstream and bilingual primary schools. This includes planning and delivering structured primary curricula, facilitating after-school French clubs, and providing targeted classroom support for bilingual and Special Educational Needs (SEN) pupils.
• National Tutoring Programme (NTP) Reading Tutor
Appointed as an official NTP tutor, I delivered targeted literacy and reading interventions using the structured FFT Lightning Squad programme for students in Years 1 to 5. This role focused heavily on tracking data, accelerating pupil progress, and closing learning gaps.

Employed by a Local Authority Adult Education Provider, I designed and delivered comprehensive French language courses to mature students. I am highly skilled at managing mixed-ability adult groups, ensuring that every learner progresses comfortably at their own pace.
