Two languages. Two cultures.
One personal approach.
French is my first language, teaching has been my career, and helping people develop the confidence to communicate has been at the heart of my work for almost three decades.
France to Yorkshire
I was educated in France and studied English and Spanish at the University of Angers. In 1996, I moved to England, completed my PGCE at the University of Sheffield and began my teaching career. I now live in the East Riding of Yorkshire with my family.
Over 28 years I have taught French from Key Stage 3 through GCSE to A level, alongside significant one-to-one and small-group tutoring experience.
Strong foundations build confident speakers
I strongly believe that a secure grounding in grammar is fundamental. Grammar gives learners the tools to construct their own sentences, express their own ideas and become independent language users.
A bilingual advantage
I am bilingual in French and English and can teach French to English speakers as well as English to French speakers. This is particularly useful for grammar, pronunciation, idiomatic language and cultural nuance.
