Sarah K.

A highly skilled French Tutor specialising in French speaking and grammar, with 5,900+ hours direct tuition experience, and a member of The Tutors` Association. Over the years I have created an extensive personal library of study documents, exercises, and lesson plans, all of which can be adapted to each individual student`s needs and goals. I work with both school-aged and adult students.

I design lessons around students’ individual aims, interests, and ambitions, creating engaging and enjoyable sessions that keep motivation high while building confidence, fluency, and strong language foundations.

Prior to establishing my French tuition business in 2010, I spent 12 years working in the media, direct marketing, and recruitment industries in sales and marketing roles. This experience enables me to tailor lessons for Business French students, incorporating industry-specific terminology, business language, and technical corporate vocabulary where required.

As a Translator, I have worked on a wide range of French-to-English corporate translation projects, producing clear, accurate, and culturally appropriate translations while maintaining the tone, style, and intent of the original text.

I have lived, worked, and studied in France for several years and am bilingual across all aspects of everyday French life, culture, and business, with native-level proficiency in both spoken and written French.

Experience: An enthusiastic educator specialising in French grammar, speaking, and listening skills, with a friendly and patient approach that helps students build confidence, fluency, and enjoyment in language learning.

Working with school aged students:
With younger students, I offer one-to-one online French tuition for 13+, GCSE, iGCSE, and A Level exam preparation, also undergraduate support.

• Lessons are tailored to strengthen grammar, speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills while building confidence and exam technique.

• Students build confidence in the subject, any gaps in their knowledge are identified and addressed, and gifted students can be stretched beyond their actual academic level.

• I have a 96% pass rate with exam- sitting students, with 45% achieving grades 8, 9, and A*, and I am familiar with all major UK exam boards and their French exam syllabi.

Working with adult students:
• I work with adults on improving their Business French skills across a wide range of industry sectors. A second language is often a job requirement, and is widely regarded by management and recruitment teams as a highly valuable and sought-after skill.

• Similarly, I work with adults who are learning French for pleasure. One-to-one tuition can provide the motivation many adult learners are looking for, particularly if they have previously struggled with home-learning resources or other forms of self-study.

• The focus is on each student’s individual requirements, everyday conversational needs, and personal interests, while building speaking skills in both formal and informal settings.

Whatever your age or ability, my calm, patient, and considerate approach to tutoring creates an environment where no question is considered silly, concerns about the subject can be discussed openly, and frustrations can be explored and worked through with confidence.
