Bonjour! salve! ¡hola!

I am a French native and a qualified teacher of Languages, with many years' experience of teaching French, Spanish and Latin at all levels, both in secondary and adult education. My expertise is mostly in providing training for GCSE examinations, but I also enjoy helping those who wish to improve their fluency in those languages, whether for business or leisure purposes.

I am also a fully qualified (and insured) personal trainer, as I believe health and fitness are essential for our quality of life, and complement an active brain... As Juvenal once said: "mens sana in corpore sano", a 'healthy mind in a healthy body' is what we should strive for!

I am a very friendly, patient and encouraging tutor/trainer, who believes everyone has their own learning styles, and the role of the teacher is to provide advice and guidance and devise a programme in which everyone can fully develop their potential.

Last, but not least, I try to make the learning experience fun, yes even Latin!
