Caroline

Hello, my name is Caroline. I am a French native speaker with 20 years of experience as a translator and 3 years as a private tutor. I moved to London in 2004 to work as French translator. I had two children and started tutoring in 2020.

I teach French as a foreign language, French as a mother tongue and English as a foreign language to students aged 5 to 70+.

The aim of the first lesson is to get to know the student, assess their level and define together the learning objectives and a timeline, if applicable. After the first meeting, I will draw up lesson plans which will match the students specific needs in order to reach the students full potential and meet our targets.

I am comfortable teaching any age group because:
- I know that capturing the interest of young ones is key when learning a new language. It needs to be fun, especially for younger students.
- I am up-to-date with the national curriculum (KS3, GCSE and A’ levels). A good knowledge of what the exam is about and a good preparation is essential to relieve stress.
- I love sharing my knowledge of the French language and culture which is always useful with adults who wants to practice their conversational skills.
- As a professional translator, I have an extensive knowledge of both English & French grammar. I can help students with an advanced level of French and support them during their academic studies.
