About Fabian
I am a French native speaker from Besançon. I have lived and taught French in the UK for 19 years and before that I taught English in France. I have a good knowledge of the school and exam systems and can provide targeted support for all learners, whether you want to start with French, improve your French or pass an exam. I also help with essays on films and books for A Level or university.
When I teach French I aim to empower my students and give them tools to work and think independently in French or about French.
Fo example, when dealing with listening, it is important to know vocabulary but also to be recognise sound patterns. This helps hearing familiar words.
With reading, it is important to develop techniques such as reading for inference and develop cognate recognition.
For speaking, there are a number of structures that can be learnt and used in a variety of contexts. I help students learn and use them successfully.
Not everybody wants to develop writing skills but I can also help students acquire a good range and level of accuracy when writing.
I always teach grammar in context so students can see and understand how the language works and apply the rules themselves.
Finally, with language comes culture, and I always try to include elements of French culture in my lessons. I want my lessons to be relevant and applicable to real-life situations.
Teaching French is fascinating and I learn all the time about my language whilst teaching it. I welcome questions from my students and aim to encourage curiosity about the language. I brought up my two children to be bilingual and, now they are teenagers, we have many discussions regarding the way English and French can be similar or different.
I have taught mainly at Secondary level, from Y7 to Y13 at a local Grammar School. I have also taught in Primary Schools from Y3 to Y6. I have supported French teachers in developing their teaching skills and their French language so I am experienced in teaching adults too.
I have a long and successful experience of GCSE and A Level teaching. Many students have told me that I had inspired them to read French at university.
I also believe in traditional teaching whilst embracing the benefits of new technology and new teaching approaches.
In conclusion, I believe that I have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to make a valuable contribution to a student of any level wanting to start or develop their knowledge, understanding and skills in French.
Thank you for your attention.

I am friendly and relaxed but my lessons are well prepared and I aim to achieve a lot in one hour. That said, I will follow your pace and go as fast or as slowly as necessary. I am experienced in working with students on a one to one basis and I can quickly assess and address the needs of each individual students. Every lesson follows on from the previous one and is tailored to each particular student.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Fabian.
Perfect! Good visual technique easy to remember in a friendly way
- Fabian's response :Piera and Rudi already know some French and, with my input, they could quickly produce good quality sentences and paragraphs by mixing what we were learning and adding small bits that they already knew. I am sure they will progress fast.
Perfect! Great first lesson! Very good at explaining things and helping with pronunciation. Looking forward to doing more lessons together
- Fabian's response :India already speaks really good French. She has high standards and is motivated to improve. It will be a pleasure to work with her and help her become completely fluent in French.
Perfect! His French is quite good (and he is very friendly and sympa to a new, old student)
- Fabian's response :Anthony's French is very good and it was interesting to talk to him. I look forward to our next lesson.
Perfect! Fabian, is an excellent tutor. He is a native French speaker and he has superb English. He is very patient and supportive and makes me feel relaxed. He introduces various exercises so the lesson is never boring. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!
- Fabian's response :Piera worked very well. We focused on using the present, past and future in the positive and negative forms. We also studied the topic of town and region.
Perfect! Subject : French

My French significantly improved thanks to lessons with Fabian. We went at a pace that worked well for me and gave me confidence with my move to France to integrate well with others and the culture.
Fabian has been my French tutor for the past year and I have been enjoying and learning a lot in his classes.
He has an incredible knowledge of the French language and understands and uses different teaching and learning systems.
He is very kind, patient and reliable.I worked with Fabian as a French teacher for 12 years at Chatham Grammar School for Girls, where Fabian was a successful and effective Head of French. He is highly organised and a team player. Fabian is not only a native speaker, but an excellent classroom practitioner, with a strong ability to motivate and challenge all students, and good interpersonal skills. He became qualified as, and was employed as, an Advanced Skills Teacher in French, and is a knowledgeable and very reflective educator. Fabian was always willing to help and support individual students in his own time to help them achieve the best results they could. Fabian would certainly make an excellent tutor, and I am very happy to recommend him.
Fabian is an excellent practitioner who always works with high levels of professionalism and enthusiasm. He has an exceptional subject knowledge and he is able to form solid rapports with students and staff alike. Fabian is approachable, friendly and helpful as well as being very committed. He works with dedication and passion and is inspirational as a teacher. Having worked with Fabian for over 11 years, I truly believe that he would make an outstanding tutor.
