Undergraduate French Tutors

Isabelle Cooke

ProOnline lessons

Hard-working tutor and undergraduate at The University of Exeter

I am a qualified teacher who brings to each lesson not only my love of the language but also fun facts and key cultural insights gleaned from having lived in both francophone and hispanic speaking countries. We can learn at your rhythm and using whichever method you prefer. You can draw your answers or say them out loud, this is just a way of you getting the most vocabulary you need in order to succeed for your end of year exams! You lead the session, if you would like to watch a video instead of listen to a recording or if you would rather do an hour of grammar, the choice is in your hands! If you are more after just conversation to practise key phrases when you go on holiday abroad this summer or if you are trying to get the attention of a special person then that is also within my remit and I will be happy to be of assistance.

Anaïs Vella

Qualified and experienced French teacher

Hello, I am Anaïs, a professional French native teacher, with over 5 years of experience teaching in the UK. I am also a qualified teacher with a master's degree in education. I have written five books called, "Learn French with Anaïs". Their goal is to enhance self-teaching. I teach all ages and levels and I can help you with any French exams (DELF, DALF, GCSE, A-level). I offer group, one to one and in-company lessons, as well as, tailored French business courses and interview preparations. For more informations about lessons or services provided and also for more testimonials please visit my website, www.anais.me.uk I am passionate about teaching and believe that my enthusiasm will benefit your learning. I am a really sociable, friendly and non judgmental teacher who loves to meet new people and talk with them. I think that languages can be taught more effectively with interesting and fun lessons and in my opinion learning French should never be boring! My lessons are based on the Common European Framework of reference for languages (A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2) and on the things you need to know to take part in real-life situations. The aim is to enhance your communication skills and develop your knowledge of the French language in order to be able to actively converse in French. My structured teaching method reflects an effective, gradual and comprehensive way of learning the language. From both my experience and studies, I have learnt how to easily explain the grammar and also how to adapt my teaching method to individual needs whitelist maintaining a high level of quality and accuracy by spotting the areas that need to be improved and by paying a particular attention to details. I am completely dedicated to my clients' learning journey. I am always enthusiastic and I like to push people to exceed their expectations. I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, USA, Russia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Japan and Switzerland and among them some were students, university teachers, postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, scientists, nurses or doctors. Others were, lawyers, barristers, chefs, journalists, museum curators, engineers, TV producers and presenters, film editors, singers or musicians. I have as well taught French to business owners, people with high responsibilities in diverse fields, to diplomats and to members of the European Parliament. Moreover, I have delivered in-company lessons (group lessons) for English companies working with French ones, to people working for the BBC and also taught French to people working for French companies, such as, Airbus, EDF and Danone. Don't hesitate to contact me and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Enhanced CRB checked Looking forward to hearing from you! Anaïs

Sohini Khan

A supportive and engaging tutor with an aim for success

Hi! My name is Sohini, a friendly and helpful tutor currently studying Maths at the LSE because of how much I love the subject and teaching it, so I would say that I major in Maths. Nevertheless, I have always enjoyed learning and teaching languages to others, in particular Spanish, French and Bengali. To quickly describe myself, I am 21-years old and have worked as a tutor for approximately 5 years now. From my experiences, I have picked up new and creative ways to make education as enjoyable and enlightening as possible. For a short time, I did also work as a fundraiser for multiple charities which enhanced my optimism and made me more confident with my abilities. In short, I don't give up. I consistently try to improve the development of my students so that they are satisfied with their quality of education and level of confidence. I have experience working at homes, schools and tutoring centres, and I have mostly worked with those aged between 5 and 17, both while employed and while volunteering. However, I have never limited myself to a particular age when it comes to taking students - learning is for all ages! Finally, I am flexible, both in time and lesson rate, and quick to respond to messages for lessons so feel free to message me, even if you don't see the time slot you want. Last updated: 24/07/18

Emily Handley

Cambridge-educated Languages tutor with ten years’ experience.

I am a Cambridge languages graduate offering tuition in English, French and Spanish. I have ten years’ tutoring experience and a lot of teaching experience, having spent my gap year in 2010 and my year abroad during my degree in 2013 working as an English language assistant in schools in France. I have also worked as an English language tutor for school age children and adult learners. From 2008 to 2010, I spent two years volunteering weekly at a primary school in Cheltenham, helping the children with their reading and literacy skills. As well as offering tuition in English, French and Spanish from primary school level up to the final year of A Levels, I can also offer a valuable insight into Oxbridge interviews or preparation for university entrance interviews. I am committed and determined, and confident that I can provide an interesting and useful learning experience which is tailored to the specific requirements of each student and which delivers results and value for money.

I am an approachable and dedicated tutor with experience teaching students at primary and secondary school level.

Delphine Manissier

I love my country France and teaching French !

I am a native French speaker from Paris, France. I offer French lessons to students from Key Stage Two to the A-levels and i am familiar with the new curriculum. With 2 years of experience teaching French to children between 7 to 11 years old at two primary schools in London, I see tutoring as the opportunity to also work with students of an older age who are looking to explore French at a more advanced level. I bring a very caring and supportive approach to her lessons. I carefully consider each student's needs and aim to build their confidence in using the language, while ensuring that the student receives all-round support in not only reading and writing, but also speaking and listening. A mother of two children, I tutored my son and my daughter for 11+ mathematics and non-verbal reasoning examinations, resulting in their successful entries to Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School and St Michael's Catholic Grammar School. I also tutor French to my children.

Natalie Gibbons

Passionate and experienced in helping others get into vet school.

Just finished my 6 year veterinary degree and am looking to teach science and languages. I would be particularly open to sessions specific to applying for veterinary medicine; I have worked in the RVC's admissions department and represent them as a Student Ambassador for 6 years. This has involved interviewing students in the MMIs when they apply to vet school, going to careers fairs, speaking at schools,running open days and working at summer schools for vet students looking to apply to the RVC. I have done extensive work with the outreach team, which involved involving students from diverse backgrounds with the RVC and giving them the application help that herhaps their school was unable to provide. As such, I have extensive insight into the best methods for securing a place, whatever your background. I was offered 3 out of my 4 vet school choices: RVC, Glasgow and Liverpool and also had a Nottingham interview. I have connections at Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh vet schools, therefore a good insight into how they compare. I have some time off before starting a job as a vet, so was looking to put my knowledge and experience to use for a few months to help others who were in my position. My mother is french and I am naturally a linguist, therefore am as qualified to teach languages as I am to teach science/ veterinary medicine.

Sylvain Herrier

Experienced and qualified native tutor - learn, enjoy, share

Hey ;) Native french from Paris, passionate (French and English literature, music, cinema, entrepreneurship, …) with non-conventional teaching methods. I have been studying a lot in my life and I am convinced the best way to learn is making it fun and I strongly believe the best way to learn is when you are willing about it. My teaching methods are based on my practical experiences and I know how to make people fluent. As a long-time learner, I will tailor sessions and give you all my tips to reach your requirements. I offer french lessons from beginners to advanced learners. STRUCTURE OF THE LESSONS: I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximising the use of the target language. My lessons are usually task-based and centred around practical functions. During each lesson, we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing, using a great variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations. MY COURSES WILL AIM AT: – Improving your listening and conversation skills – Explaining grammar rules – Introducing new vocabulary using specific learning methods – Enhancing your writing, speaking and listening skills LANGUAGE: I have learnt English, Spanish and I am currently learning Italian and Russian, so I perfectly understand how it feels to learn a new language and the difficulties that one can come across, especially when that language isn't using the same alphabet as your mother tongue. EXPERIENCE: I have taught French to people from Europe, Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and China, and among them, some were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, business owners, writers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and movie producers… I am looking forward to hearing from you :) Sylvain

Dhananjay Talwar

Passionate and experienced multilingual tutor!

I have 4 years’ experience as a private tutor and now a full-time tutor, as I have been for just over 6 months. I have experience teaching a range of students in terms of age (from 5 to over 60) and level. I have taught English as a Foreign Language, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German and Latin as well as English and Maths (up to 13+) to a total of more than 50 students (including some groups). Many of these students have been learning for exams, such as GCSEs and A-Levels, while some have been casual learners. While flexibility is essential and I try to tailor my approach to each student, I base my tutoring on transmitting my passion and expertise in learning to the student. As a speaker of many languages, I have considerable experience of the language learning process and know-how of language learning techniques. I use this to predict common pitfalls and difficulties for students, and to explain these by breaking them down in simple terms. In this way, the student’s confidence increases and they feel able to reach their targets. While I have high standards, I also believe students will naturally want to learn more if they have fun. I often use cultural materials such as books, films or songs in my lessons so that the student sees the advantages of language learning and so starts to learn proactively and thus improve faster.

Rebecca Anderson

Seasoned tutor and undergraduate at Royal Veterinary College

Having recently completed my A Level studies and going on to study Veterinary Medicine at University, I am eager to tutor secondary school level pupils. My teaching preferences are Geography and Biology, offered at both A Level and GCSE standard. I attained A* in both these subjects at GCSE and an A* in Geography and an A in Biology at A level. In both subjects I am most familiar with the AQA specification, however I am willing to offer tutoring to students studying under other exam boards. Achieving full marks in the coursework component of the Geography A Level, I am well equipped to offer assistance to students who may need help in this area. Having spent time as a Sixth Form tutor for pupils at my secondary school, I am willing to work with pupils of all abilities. My flexible and engaging teaching style centres on the needs of the student, with content provided following specification guidelines. As well as reviewing necessary subject content, a wide variety of exam-style questions, ranging from data response to factual recall, will be incorporated into sessions to adequately equip the pupil with the skills required to succeed in examinations. I am also willing to tutor GCSE French. Having achieved an A* in this subject at GCSE, I have since continued to practice the language so would be able to assist GCSE pupils with their French studies. Sessions will be composed of all four key components of language study, with exercises in reading, listening, writing and speaking covered. In this way the student is well-prepared to tackle all areas of the examinations. University preparation, particularly for Veterinary Medicine and Medicine, including Personal Statement assistance and Interview Practice can also be arranged upon request. Having undergone numerous interviews (and a large amount of interview practice) in order to gain a place on a Veterinary Medicine course, I am well-versed in the interview processes and will help strengthen interview skills to give any student the best chances at succeeding with their application. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
