Information about Sarah
I am a qualified teacher and experienced tutor, having been working one-to-one with GCSE and A-level students since 2010. I believe strongly in building firm foundations in language learning at whatever level, to ensure that each student can progress to the best of their ability. I take pride in tailoring my approach to the needs of the student, whether that is to help them to overcome anxiety about speaking and pronunciation, to be confident of basic grammar approaching GCSE or to achieve the very highest grades at A-level to prepare for Oxbridge.
Availability: Flexible, including some daytime availability
Willing to travel: 2 miles
Experience: I studied Law with French at Leicester University, spending a year studying in Strasbourg, as well as working in France on several occasions. I maintained my fluency and interest in French during my career as a solicitor before deciding to re-train as a teacher, qualifying in 2010. As part of my training, I worked in a school in France, but now am rather closer to home, teaching French part-time in a local primary school. As I have been involved in the French language, either personally or professionally for over 40 years and have seen teaching fashions come and go, I feel that I understand what really makes a difference to successful learning and I look forward to working with you to help you progress from whatever starting point you find yourself.

Sarah started working with my daughter recently and has been teaching her online. My daughter has a condition that means she has difficulty communicating with new people and also in teaching settings however Sarah very quickly put her at ease and developed her trust. She has made huge progress in a very short time through the one to one sessions; the online resources that Sarah uses have enhanced the work they are covering and have helped my daughter focus her own independent learning and revision. It has been wonderful seeing her confidence grow so she is happy to practice both written and speaking French with Sarah, and the result is reflecting in her classwork at school.
Tutors Response :
Thank you very much for your kind words, although your daughters progress is absolutely down to her own hard work! I shall, as usual, look forward to seeing her next week.

My daughter is in her GCSE year and has had three lessons with Sarah and is already gaining confidence with her French. Sarah is a really engaged and enthusiastic teacher and I wouldn`t hesitate to recommend her.
Tutors Response :
Thank you very much, Charlotte - your daughters confidence is all down to her hard work!
