Hello! I’m a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor who enjoys helping students build both their knowledge and confidence. I offer personalised online lessons that are adapted to each student’s individual needs, learning style and goals.

I am fluent in both English and French and can provide support with French language learning, as well as helping younger students with their schoolwork and homework. I have previous experience working as a Teaching Assistant in a bilingual learning environment, where I supported children with their learning and helped create a positive and encouraging atmosphere. I have also completed a Student into Teaching programme, which gave me further experience in an educational setting.

During lessons, I aim to make learning enjoyable and engaging rather than overwhelming. I like to understand what each student finds challenging before adapting my approach accordingly. Depending on the student, lessons can include explanations, conversation practice, activities, questions, revision and guided exercises. I am happy to go at the student’s own pace and revisit topics when needed.

I believe patience and encouragement are particularly important when tutoring, as students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is to help students feel more confident in their abilities while making steady progress towards their goals.
