Rachel

I am a friendly, enthusiastic French tutor who loves foreign languages and passing on my knowledge of the French language to new learners.

As a tutor, I focus on encouraging and building confidence in my students so they feel happy to speak the language without being worried about making mistakes.

I am a true francophile and have lived and worked in France for several years. I hold a B.A. Honours in French and International Relations - (First Class in French) - including a year spent studying Civilisation Francaise at l`Universite d`Aix Marseille - and have used my linguistic skills throughout my career, principally in a medical research and IT environment.

I am qualified to teach French to adults of 16 years + ( BTEC Level 3 Award in Education and Training). I love teaching and seeing people improve their confidence in the language. It is a beautiful language and whether it is for holidays, business or pure enjoyment as a hobby, I am sure I can help you overcome any obstacles and improve your ability!

I look forward to meeting you!
