Who I Teach
Adults – you’re never too old to learn a new skill or dust the cobwebs off your French dictionary. Being able to chat to the locals on holidays can open the door on so many exciting opportunities that you might otherwise miss. Learn the basics, brush up your conversational skills or take your linguistic learning to a new level. Whatever your learning needs, I’ll lend my passion, experience and French language skills to meet your goals.
GCSE/A Level French – It’s never been more important to have a good language qualification with many of the best universities demanding a pass at GCSE. Help your teenager achieve the best advantage with French language tutoring from Lingua Forme.
