Information about Murielle
I am an experienced, qualified French & Spanish teacher, a tutor, an examiner and a native-French speaker. I help students work towards their GCSE, A level or CSE, consolidate and improve their grades and performance by focusing on expanding their vocabulary, revising grammar and being accurate. This helps them gain greater confidence in their ability to speak the language they are studying and also to enjoy it more. I teach in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. I also tutor undergraduates and adult learners wishing to learn French or Spanish from scratch or improve their existing level. I help students from local schools in Knaresborough, Harrogate and Ripon and Wetherby.
My up to date experience as an examiner benefits A level /GCSE students in all areas of their studies.
With adult learners, I build on my students` prior knowledge or teach them the language they need to be able to communicate confidently, when travelling and/or living in France or Spain, as most people realise the importance and enjoyment of being able to communicate with the people of the country in which they are spending a lot of time, which I fully understand, as a native French speaker living in England.
Availability: During the day/evenings/week-ends (if needed)
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I have 25 years` experience in secondary schools teaching French to A level and Spanish to GCSE as well as tutoring and marking examination papers for one of the major examining boards. I also conduct speaking exams in schools(A level) and mark all aspects of the A level specification. I have taught in primary schools and after-school clubs.
I really enjoy seeing my students, whatever their age, gain confidence and pleasure in learning and speaking French/Spanish, make progress and improve their examination grades or use the language confidently during their holidays.
I am friendly, patient and aim at making my lessons fun and productive by using a variety of materials. I tailor my lessons to individual needs and provide regular worksheets, which I make to help students consolidate the vocabulary.
I tutor students at degree levels but also individuals who want to learn languages for pleasure or to help them communicate on holiday or when they stay in their second home.
I also deliver courses for the MOD

Murielle helped my son in his last GCSE year. She quickly found out what he needed to know and worked effectively with him. During that time his confidence in speaking French improved greatly. He very much enjoyed the sessions and I am certain that his grades improved because of Murielle`s help. Would highly recommend her.
Tutors Response :
Thank you Deborah,

very good teacher she has plenty of options up her sleeve and lots of inventive games to help you learn its a long time since I did any learning but she has managed to conqueor numbers past 20 with me - I am retired and its a long time since I learnt them. I think for any one younger she would be a marvellous teacher and you would pick up French (in my case) very quickly with her.

My daughter has really valued the sessions with Murielle and what is so lovely is to hear the laughter coming from the room as they chat away to each other in French and/or Spanish depending on the session. Clearly the sessions are enjoyable for my daughter and they are proving worthwhile as I see her confidence grow along with her improved test results. Very pleased!

Just had my first lesson and really, really enjoyed it. I was very nervous before I went in but Murielle was very welcoming. I felt I learnt a lot in my first lesson and the atmosphere was very supportive. I had been worried that I would be too shy to speak french in front of a native speaker but I really wasn`t an issue at all. Can`t wait for my next lesson!
