Update (April 2023): I am able to take on two additional online students weekly before closing my books in order to focus on my core group of students.
Bonjour!
I’m a qualified, experienced (referral letters available upon request) and DBS-checked native French tutor and teacher. I’ve been teaching students of all ages and levels for the past 10 years at renowned institutions, such as the American School of Paris, where I got my teacher training, and the Oxford International College, along with private online tutoring in Paris, London, Dublin and Shanghai.
I am patient, hard-working mitted in getting my students to achieve the best level possible outside the conventional classroom setting, by customising my interactive lesson plans according to my students’ personality, learning process and goals. Thanks to my signature teaching methods, my students see their aptitudes in French effortlessly go from beginner to advanced within a few months and are able to municate with French speakers!
My goal is to create a safe and enjoyable space for my students to not feel self-conscious and move past the initial fear of making mistakes. I believe that being a good language tutor is all about giving the student the confidence he/ she needs to effortlessly use the language outside class.
Depending on your needs and expectations, we can cover the following topics:
• GCSe Curriculum (100% success rate)
• Preparation for the DILF, DELF or DALF exams starting from A1 and going through to C2 (100% success rate)
• Speaking/ Pronunciation
• Listening/ Comprehension
• Reading/ Writing
• Grammar
• Vocabulary
• Idioms
• How to ace a French job interview
• Preparation for a move to a French-speaking country
• 'French bootcamp'
Please note that these sessions are carried out online, not in person.
If you think I'm the right French tutor for you or your child, get in touch with me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
I offer plimentary 20 minutes introductory online meeting upon request, which can give my students the opportunity to get to know me and ask any questions they might have. The assessment of the student's current level and creation of a customised lesson plan occurs during the first session and I like giving homework to do in between sessions to ensure that the learnings are cemented before moving forward.
À bientôt!
Constance

// REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS ///
“Constance is an approachable, friendly teacher who doesn’t overly stress or shame students, she has allowed me to learn at my own pace; challenging me at my level whilst gently offering guidance with patience and humour.” ~ Tom
“I am extremely grateful to Constance for her time and efforts, and the results quite literally speak for themselves.” ~ Alicia
“Constance has been my tutor for two and a half years, during which time my French has improved enormously. I am now plemented on the noticeable improvement when in France, and I feel municating much more than I ever could before.” ~ Amy
“Constance's insistence that I submit 'une rédaction' each week and provides an
mentary in marking an assignment means that I have a basis paring what I have done, and a much clearer idea of how to improve this activity.” ~ Rory
“Constance takes my learning very seriously. She marks assignments on time. She speaks elegantly, and with humour. She is patient in the face of my hesitations, and munication. I feel I want to go on learning French, despite the challenges. She encourages me to read in French, and listen to the radio and podcasts and gave me an extensive list of French books and movies.” ~ Matthew
“What is qualitatively different from my previous tutors, and indeed most helpful, is that Constance keeps a written record of my oral mistakes, which allows me to go over my mistakes and improve my speaking skills. In not having had any ongoing time in France, I don't expect to be ever fluent, however, on a recent trip to Paris, I was able to understand a guided tour (Musée Delacroix), fortably converse with shopkeepers.” ~ Kerry
