Thanks to Léa's incredible positivity and boundless energy, learning with her is an absolute joy. She's not just a wonderful teacher but also a true source of inspiration and motivation. With her guidance, I've managed to overcome my fear of speaking French. I used to be quite nervous about making mistakes and felt self-conscious during every conversation. However, Léa's patient and encouraging approach has completely changed my learning experience.

She's an educated, cultured, and passionate language enthusiast. I wholeheartedly recommend her."

Léa was an amazing translation teacher for the French Part IB translation course at Cambridge University. She offered comprehensive and constructive advice, and really ensured everyone in our class achieved their potential. She is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and it was great to be one of her students. Our class did really well in the examination, and Léa and I are still in touch.

From Bordeaux to Cambridge: A Journey of Language Expertise

Léa's Background

Originally from Bordeaux, France, my teaching expertise extends across various proficiency levels. I’ve had the privilege of teaching both French and English to a wide range of students, including a 65-year-old doctor seeking to learn English and scholars pursuing Modern and Medieval Languages at Cambridge University. My ‘agrégée’ status as an English teacher in France, coupled with a master’s degree from the Ecole Normale Supérieure, equips me with a profound understanding of language teaching and learning challenges.

Empowering Students to Embrace Language Learning Fearlessly

Teaching Approach

I thrive in one-on-one teaching environments, allowing me to build strong, personalised relationships with my students as a French tutor and English tutor. My teaching philosophy revolves around adapting lessons to meet each student’s unique needs and pacing. I’m always ready to adjust lesson plans and provide additional support to ensure students regain confidence in their language skills and rediscover the joy of learning.

 

As both an actor and teacher, I aim to alleviate the fear of making mistakes—a common obstacle in language learning. I create a safe, judgment-free space for my students to practice and encourage them to confidently use the language beyond our classes. Maintaining connections with former students and their families is a source of great joy for me, allowing me to follow their journeys and achievements.

And fun!

How long it takes you to master French will depend on various factors. These include your natural ability to learn, your language learning experience, your level of focus, how much time you spend with your French tutor, and how much homework you can take on.

 

The most important factors are how many hours you are willing to commit to practising. Speaking and writing French regularly will help you pick up the language faster.

Homework is a key part of your French lessons and your overall language learning journey, so you will definitely need to factor time in every week. 

 

Homework offers a range of benefits, from the chance to review what you’ve learnt, to expanding your knowledge and helping you develop a deeper understanding of the various aspects of the language. 

 

Through regular homework, you will find your French language skills develop faster. So be sure to allow at least 90 minutes per week for homework and French vocabulary revision.

We provide a variety of services, from GCSE and A Level online French lessons to French revision camps, and from adult to corporate French tuition. We also offer taster classes and intensive courses.

Yes, you can absolutely focus on developing conversation skills!

 

While conversation is indeed a crucial aspect of your language tutoring journey, we understand that everyone has their unique language learning goals. If your primary objective is to enhance your conversational abilities, we are here to support that. Our dedicated tutors can tailor your lessons to emphasise spoken language and practical communication skills.

 

However, it’s important to note that a well-rounded language education often includes reading, writing, and grammar. These elements serve as the foundation for effective communication and help you fully grasp the language. Even in real-life situations, you might encounter the need to read signs, menus, or leave notes for various purposes.

 

So, yes, we can certainly focus on conversation skills while also ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of the language. Your learning journey with us is designed to meet your specific needs and goals.
