Rebecca B
About a year ago I asked for Rebecca's help for my son. At the time he was in year 10 and had been teaching himself French for Duke of Edinburgh silver. He asked if he could do GCSE French in year 11. We found Rebecca who gave an honest assessment and plan and has been amazing in making his dream come true. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My son has really enjoyed working with her.

Peter H
Excellent Tutor:
My son had an absolutely brilliant lesson with Peter, really pleased. My son is currently revising for his French GCSE speaking exam.
Peter knew exactly what the Edexcel exam entailed, covered a mock, gave him lots of tips. I wasn't expecting feedback, but he very kindly gave me a summary of my son's progress and where to focus. He also very kindly corrected some answers my son had written.
Highly recommend Peter as a tutor, he's brilliant.

Catherine C
Catherine is an excellent teacher who has been very helpful in improving both my spoken and written French. I am a second year university student studying French and Catherine has been a great help in making my language even more advanced and fluent. She has assisted me in constructing a presentation for a French oral exam, which requires a high level of academic French. Alongside this we have spoken about a wide range of complex subjects, during which Catherine has corrected and explains any grammatical issues I might have. Lessons are enjoyable and comprehensive, would definitely recommend!
