/ Florence B.
I am a native French speaker and I have been living in the UK for over 30 years. I very much enjoy meeting people and my tailor-made lessons are fun and relaxed. I mainly work as a proofreader and editor for several educational publishers and definitely understand the challenges of my mother tongue.
I am enthusiastic and I will help you:
- converse, read, write, pronounce and listen;
- improve your French grammar;
- increase your confidence; and,
- if you are taking an exam, boost your grade.
I have many years' experience in teaching adults at all levels, from beginners to advanced, face-to-face from my home in Torquay or on WhatsApp, but do not hold any qualifications in the teaching field. I am DBS checked.
I have taught at Torquay Girls Grammar School (GCSE and A-Level) and at Brixham College as an adult education tutor.
I also offer:
- a professional translation service (tourism publications, website contents, commercial brochures, advertising, trade shows literature, packaging, estimates for renovation projects, medical records);
- support with all issues regarding French properties;
- native speaker checks / proofreading (educational publications, presentations, websites, restaurant menus and commercial literature).
- boarding for small, friendly and well-trained dogs, but not in the same rooms as the students, just to do something different to keep fit and because I love dogs!
Throughout my working life, teaching French has been my main occupation. Starting as a language assistant, working as a full time secondary school teacher and working as an Adult Education tutor I have developed a broad range of effective skills which enable the learners to gain confidence in using French whatever their starting level. Passing on my enthusiasm for languages has proven to be thoroughly rewarding. I always seek to inspire my students and I have received excellent feedback. In 2013, I received the award for “inspirational tutor” of the year from South Devon College, having been nominated before on several previous occasions. I have experience in teaching all age groups from children to adults and all levels, frоm beginners tо advanced. I have taught across the age and ability range. I set high expectations for student achievement, always seeking to challenge and motivate so as to maximise the potential of each and every learner.
I thrive on helping others and teaching French has always been one of my passions. I have been told I am very patient, I explain things very clearly and have a good sense of humour.

I am a French native speaker, I have been living in England for thirty years. I am a fully qualified teacher and have recent classroom experience in secondary, primary as well as nursery school. I have taught some lovely business people too as well as some families moving to France and Spain.
I have a real passion for teaching languages. So much, that my eldest daughter as just joined the profession ! :) I enjoy preparing interactive lessons and combine a mixture of traditional as well as modern methods. There is so much to explore nowadays with the new technologies which makes teaching online very exciting! My clients include primary school children, secondary school students I also help people to achieve good grades at GCSE and A'level. I also enjoy teaching private students and business people.
If you or your child would like to learn French or Spanish, I will probably have a program of study that would be of interest to you! Feel free to browse my website and do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information. I hope you will find something here that interest you.
