Excellent tutor. We are really happy with Marie Pierre. My son has been doing as level French with her and she's completely on top of the curriculum. The lessons are well structured and Marie Pierre focuses on what we want covered.

Catherine C
"Mission impossible - completed."
We are so grateful, dear Catherine!!! Starting from a very low, practically beginner level, Catherine managed to bring our child so far in an surprisingly short amount of time that our child passed an entrance test at GCSE-level due to a school change. The stress level skyrocketed at just the thought of this test at first. But after just the first few lessons with Catherine, we noticed none of that anymore. With two hours per week, and with the advice and exercises our child followed, not only did the French skills improve, but also the motivation and joy in engaging with the language, along with a sense of confidence and optimism. Shortly before the test, our child even said: "No matter how the test turns out, the lessons were great. I now understand much more, and French is actually really fun." We couldn´t wish for anything more for our child! ....and looking forward for further support:)

Lauren S
My daughter has been abroad for 8 years and come back to the UK being 2 years behind in French (KS3), so I was looking for a teacher that could help catch her up with the basics, give her confidence, with resources and strategies to help her catch up. Lauren was absolutely amazing! Her calm gentle approach was great in getting her more confident using the language. Her structured lessons, which were in line with the KS3 curriculum, helped her pick up vocabulary, grammar and basic conversation quickly and with ease. Lauren ensures understanding before she moves on to the next topic and can give homework if you want it. My daughter was able to excel in just a few short weeks. I would absolutely recommend Lauren for any students having a bit of trouble with French or wanting to consolidate their learning!
