FRENCH TUTOR

Catherine Mower (BA, PGCE)

As a well qualified and highly experienced French teacher and native speaker, I am currently Head of MFL, and teaching in a private secondary school in the UK.

 

I have a deep knowledge of GCSE, IGCSE and A Level exams for both AQA and Edexcel and I thoroughly prepare students who take exams so that they achieve the highest potential. In addition, I have been an Examiner for IGCSE and GCSE French for the last 10 years.

 

I am extremely familiar with numerous platforms and interactive tools and I am able to make remote learning fun and effective, with young learners and adults.  That said, I am available to teach face to face, something I enjoy very much.
