My Experience

I worked as a secondary and primary classroom English teacher in Paris for two years – two very exciting and instructive years. I taught classes for whole school years, preparing students for their BAC as well as for entry to business schools. While living in France I also taught one-to-one and ran small, intensive preparatory courses for English entrance exams. I taught a mixture of literature and language, which I continue to do now that I'm back in the UK, getting students ready for 11+ and GCSE exams.

Having lived and worked in France for six years, I try to transmit my passion for the culture to occasionally disillusioned students of French! I have digested and passed on what I found worked and what didn't to give my students the benefit of my own trials in learning this wonderful language.
