French & English Tuition

Our family moved from Singapore to the UK and my son Yugo was a complete French beginner.

​

After one year of French - two weekly lessons and some intensive holiday course - he is now top of his year in French (in the non-bilingual section) at Sevenoaks School. French is at the moment his strongest subject!

I am confident to say that Catherine Mower is an exceptional teacher who truly goes above and beyond. I started French with no knowledge but after three years, through her guidance and expertise, my French flourished and I scored A * in my GCSE.

What sets her apart is forging positive personal relationships and tailoring her lessons to my individual goals and interests. I cannot speak highly enough of her classes. Her passion for the language combined with her unique teaching methods and genuine care for her student's progress make her an exceptional educator. ​ ​

Sophie has taught my three children to prepare them for different exams. She is the kindest, most wonderful and thoughtful teacher and I cannot recommend her highly enough for all French tuition, whether it be to help in passing an exam or indeed to give your child the confidence to believe in themselves.

Having taught for 26 years myself, I believe I can spot a wonderful teacher and she is truly the best! My eldest ended up achieving an ‘A’ in his scholarship paper and I have no doubt Sophie made it possible.

Sarah is a lovely teacher who makes it really easy to understand English. My spoken and written English have improved enormously in the two years she has been teaching me. I have much more confidence now.

Sophie has been tutoring my son and a friend for GCSE on a Saturday. Since they have started, there has been a significant improvement in both the spoken and written French (expected grades 8 and 9). Sophie manages to cover an enormous amount and as an experienced teacher, she strikes a brilliant balance between fun and hard work.

I am Greek but live in Paris with my fiancé. Sophie has been instrumental to speaking French. She is an amazing teacher and adapts her lessons to my level. She explains clearly in English the complicated French grammar. I totally trust and rely on her.

Catherine 's teaching style is truly remarkable. Not only did she cover the curriculum, but she also delved deeper into French literature and culture, igniting a passion for the language. ​

She constantly sought to expand my horizon beyond the syllabus, keeping me informed about current affairs and providing ample resources to engage with French media at my level of proficiency. ​ ​

With Sophie’s help and encouragement, I have found learning can be rewarding and great fun. Sophie is kind and patient with a lovely sense of humour. Best thing I have done since retirement.

I'm very glad that I've chosen Sophie as my tutor since she is very patient and attentive. Also, she quickly adapts the curriculum to my needs, level and progress. Having started basically from scratch, after only four months we were able to have lessons entirely in French.

I am now able to read Alexandre Dumas. If you really want to learn French you shouldn't look any further!

I highly recommend Francoise. She tutored my daughter, helping her build confidence and transition from a capable student to a high achiever.
