I am a French teacher who has worked in local Secondary schools for over 7 years. I have taught both Pearson Edexcel and AQA exam specifications and achieved excellent results for the students I have had the pleasure to teach. I have also been an examiner for Pearson Edexcel for the last couple of years.

I have experience tutoring students at Primary and Secondary school age. For many students approaching their GCSE they have a clear understanding of their weaknesses that need to be overcome, whilst for others it is my job to find the issues which can be most easily resolved for them to make progress towards their desired grades. I take pride in building the confidence of my students and seeing them succeed.

Whilst I am not a native French speaker, I believe I understand the difficulties that often need to be overcome in order to make a success of language learning. I studied first studied French at school, Sixth Form then Aberystwyth University where I attained a degree in French and International Politics. I lived in France during this time working as an English Language Assistant and still go on holiday to the country.

Experience: Having taught in a local secondary school and primary schools for the last 7 years, I am still extremely passionate about sharing French with both adults and young people.

I have a full and up-to-date understanding of the new GCSE specification (1-9) for both AQA and Edexcel and I would be pleased to help anyone of any age develop their skills in French. Whether that be in listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar or translation.

I have tutored a variety KS3 pupils and GCSE French pupils over the years.
