My inter­est in France and the French lan­guage began when I was a teenager and my mother sent me to France reg­u­larly to stay with fam­i­lies there. Like all teenagers would, I found this daunt­ing, but as I improved, I realised the sat­is­fac­tion of being able to con­verse in a for­eign lan­guage. I there­fore con­tin­ued to study French and was deter­mined to become fluent.

Dur­ing uni­ver­sity and for the years that fol­lowed, I immersed myself in the French lan­guage and cul­ture. I stud­ied French lit­er­a­ture in Greno­ble, taught at the Uni­ver­sity of Reims and finally worked at the British Embassy in Paris help­ing French and British busi­nesses to trade and form partnerships.

On return­ing to the UK in 2008, I wanted to teach oth­ers what I had learnt to improve our lin­guis­tic abil­i­ties and also to make the French lan­guage a less daunt­ing idea. So I started tutor­ing French…

As this has grown, I am now working with two other French Tutors, Maybel and Bertrand so we now cover all of London and even some of Herfordshire.
