Clive T
I would like to write about my French tutor, Clive, who has really helped me improve my French. Before I started lessons with him, I found the language difficult and confusing. But Cliff explained everything clearly and helped me build my confidence.
He is kind, patient, and always happy to answer questions. He is also very organised and always on time for lessons. What I liked most was that he made learning fun and interesting. His passion for teaching really shows.
Thanks to Clive, my grades have improved and I feel much more prepared for my exams. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to do better in French.

Valerie A
Learning French with Valerie has been a total game-changer. French used to feel like a chaotic mix of silent letters and impossible grammar rules, but somehow she’s made it not only make sense—but actually, honestly, really quite enjoyable. In just a short time, she’s helped me gain confidence and improve my speaking skills way more than I thought possible. Honestly, if you don’t choose Valerie as your tutor, you’re seriously missing out.

My daughter has been taking French lessons with this teacher since August 2023, and the progress she has made is truly impressive. The teacher has been incredibly supportive and flexible, while also maintaining a healthy level of discipline and structure in her teaching. She has built a strong connection with my daughter, which has really motivated her to learn. As a result, my daughter’s grades have improved significantly, and she now genuinely enjoys learning French. I’m very grateful for the positive impact this teacher has had on her education
