Axelle Fleury

Bonjour!
I am a native French speaker and a qualified teacher with a PGCE in French and German. I have taught in secondary schools and at BHASVIC Sixth Form College, and I spent over 13 years as a French lecturer at the University of Sussex. There, I taught across all three undergraduate years and led language modules from beginner to advanced level (A1–C1), including French for professional contexts. I also designed courses and assessments and provided individual academic guidance.
Since 2010, I have offered private French tuition to adults and students, including helping A-level students prepare for their exams. My lessons are friendly, dynamic and fun, and I adapt them to your level, interests and goals. I use authentic French materials, such as articles and audio clips, to help you hear and read French as it is used in everyday life.
If you are studying for GCSE or A-level, we can practise speaking, listening, reading and writing, strengthen grammar and vocabulary, and work on exam technique.
If you are at university, we can focus on academic writing, prepare for assessments or develop greater accuracy and fluency.
If you are learning as an adult, I can help you get started, pick up French again after a break, or feel more confident using it for travel, work or conversation.
Whatever your goals, I explain things clearly, adjust the pace to suit you and give you constructive feedback, with plenty of time to ask questions, try things out and learn from mistakes without pressure.
À bientôt !
