Testimonials
Kate provided me with French tutoring during my time at school. She was a patient, kind and generous tutor who went above and beyond to make sure that I had a comprehensive and enjoyable experience. Kate has highly developed interpersonal skills and is incredibly bright - qualities which were perfect for a tutor. Due to Kate's influence, I have recently decided to pick up learning French again. I cannot recommend Kate more highly! Ravi
I had the best time being tutored by Kate for my summer project on laughter and the absurd in French theatre from the 17th century to the present day. The texts we studied were extremely interesting, and her lessons and tutoring style were always enjoyable especially since some material was directly in French which really helped me improve my skills. I learned so much and a lot of what we studied has helped me with my first year of university where I have continued to study French, including taking modules about French theatre! Thank you so much Kate! Lily
Kate was a great French tutor for me whilst I prepared for my French IB exams. She was always well-prepared and made a lot of effort despite my short attention span. I definitely understood the language much better through her guidance and this was reflected in my improved results. Raymond
Following Kate's tutoring, I did very well in my final IB exam and then moved to Paris for two and a half years where I started university! I am now fluent in French and continuing my studies in London, working part-time as a French speaking nanny for french families. Ellie
