About Stephanie
A native French tutor and teacher, I have been living and teaching in London since 1991. In my thirty years (and counting) teaching career I have taught children, teenagers and adults privately, in schools and in companies. I have a French Degree in journalism and a UK Master's Degree (with distinction) in Applied Linguistics (second language teaching and learning) therefore my teaching approaches are influenced by research as well as extensive teaching experience. Apart from tutoring, I currently work part-time as a specialist French teacher in a primary school, and as a French conversation teacher in a secondary school & sixth form college and I have in-depth knowledge of the MFL curriculum in England at Key Stages 2-3-4-5. I also taught French to adults in UK governments, companies and media outlets for 15 years.

I am passionate about languages and I strive to pass on my passion to my students and help them unleash their language learning potential. MY APPROACH I am a learner-centred teacher who is flexible and does not believe in following a rigid teaching method. As a teacher and applied linguist, I believe in helping students re-use and build on what they already know (in their native as well as second language) as a means to help them create long-lasting language learning strategies that work for them. STUDENTS Although I specialise in tutoring GCSE and A level students (UK), I have experience in teaching any level and age (teenagers, children and adults) and I accept students from complete beginner to advanced levels and no younger than 10 years old. For children I recommend 45 minutes lessons, and for teenagers & adults lessons of at least one hour. LESSONS In our first lesson we will get to know each other and I will assess your level and ask what your goals are. My lessons cover all four skills -reading, listening, speaking and writing - and I have a special interest in teaching speaking and pronunciation. I try to use authentic texts (spoken and written) as much as possible in order to give students a taste of real French but where students need to take exams, I use these within the exam format. I try to speak French as much as possible in lessons but I may need to revert to English to explain more complex language. I always give students homework and tasks for the next lesson. I am based in Acton (W3) London and I can tutor from my home.

Stephanie taught my son French for 1 year before his GCSEs and thanks to her effort, enthusiasm and sheer persistence, he got his grade. If you need a teacher who will persist, even if there is real resistance to learning, she’s the teacher for you.
Stephanie tutored our two boys from when they were 9 and 10 years old. We had to do most of the lessons remotely due to Covid, but it didn’t matter as Stephanie knew how to engage with the boys and keep them motivated throughout their lessons. Our aim of having a private tutor was to get the boys talking in french and enjoying it. Rather than set grammar lessons, Stephanie built fun conversational french lessons, teaching the boys the basics with vocabulary that was pertinent to them. The boys really enjoyed her lessons and never saw it as extra homework. She was a super star and we would have continued using her if we hadn’t moved countries!
Stephanie and I met through the music school our children attended. We had a number of conversations on her teaching experience and approach, which I very much liked and subscribed to. I thus asked her if she could give private lessons to my daughter. She did for a couple of years. My daughter’s proficiency and confidence improved significantly as a direct result. They were crowned by top results in her French GCSE.
Stephanie’s in-depth understanding of the curriculum and the language, combined with a flexible and tailored teaching approach and her passion for teaching worked wonders.
I highly recommend her as a teacher.Stephanie has been working with my daughter to improve her A level French grade and the results have been outstanding in just a few weeks. Stephanie's detailed knowledge of the syllabus and focus on the mark scheme has resulted in an improvement of two grades already and continues to improve. However, most pleasing is that my daughter enjoys every lesson and her confidence is growing continually, particularly speaking and listening. We are both very happy with this tutor.
