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!

Rebecca B

Rebecca is not only a lovely, caring and patient person but an incredible tutor who clearly shows so much care for each and every one of her students. I started lessons with Rebecca due to immense anxiety about my GCSE French orals. I was getting 5s and 6s in French and in the 5 weeks leading up to my GCSE's I managed to get an 8 in my GCSE French which was beyond my predicted grade and my belief! Her approach to revising, immense patience and support made me so much more confident in the Language (not only for my exams but for even my trip to France this summer) and thats so much more than I could ask for. if you are looking for a GCSE French tutor Rebecca is the way to go!! Merci!
