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
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
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
