Private French tuition with experienced tutors in Retford.

For over 5 years, I have worked with, and currently work with students of a wide range of ages, levels, and abilities, to achieve their goals.

For all students I will always try to provide a balanced well-rounded session with a main theme or objective for the session.However, I do like to let the lesson flow and follow your learning speed and style. It's always great if something crops up organically particularly...

As a teacher with almost twenty years of classroom experience, I am well placed to assist you in fulfilling your potential. I taught, for extensive periods, in all areas of the primary sector before moving into secondary education and management. At each stage, I was places in key areas of the school to aid transition, including EYFS to KS1; KS1 to KS2; KS2 to KS3 and from A-level to University - particularly looking at entrance to Russell Group and Oxbridge. For me, the importance of teaching is to ensure that the teacher is responsive to the needs of the pupil; you cannot fit square pegs into...

Hi, I'm Penny, and I'm glad you've stopped by! Here are some wonderful words from my students and their parents: “I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone thinking of booking sessions with Penny to do it and do it now! As a trained actor, I came to Penny with a very unique request. Having very little knowledge of speaking German…. within a week we had a monologue translated, memorised and ready to present to an audition panel. Not only did Penny help me reach my goals but she gave me the upmost confidence to get there. I’m certain I would not have got there if it was not for Penny’s support and ext...
