About Dominique
As a native French speaker with significant experience in teaching the French language, both as a private tutor and as a school and university teacher, I am passionate about helping young people build confidence in their French pronunciation and communications skills and develop an understanding of the French language that will allow you to excel in both written and oral exams.
After completing an MSc in Business Engineering, I started teaching economics and management at various secondary schools and obtained a teaching qualification (Agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire supérieure). After moving to the UK, I raised three trilingual (French, German, English) boys who achieved successful entry to the UK and US’ leading schools and universities. After running an after school French Club I started tutoring children to prepare their GCSE, A-levels exams and The French SAT test (used for admission to US Colleges).
More recently, I gained an MA in Modern French Studies and taught French grammar and conversation classes to undergraduate students at various levels at the University of Kent for two years before turning my focus to a PhD in French Literature. When I decided to put my PhD on hold in 2015, I decided to go back to tutoring and joined this site & this site Foundation, where I offer personalized work plans for children aiming at an A* as well as for children completely left behind in the education system.
I am based in London, with an office in Mayfair (5 minutes walk from Green Park Tube Station) and in Canterbury at weekends. I very much look forward to working with you!

Dominique is an outstanding tutor. She communicates the principles of French grammar very clearly and effectively. Her lessons are fun and engaging.
She has many years of experience tutoring children and young adults of all ages and has taught an undergraduate course at a leading UK university. She spends significant time to tailor each lesson to the specific needs of the student, maximising the productivity of each session.I have known Dominique for many years and I can wholeheartedly say that she is a top class tutor and an excellent mentor. She is particularly talented with children, as she brings real passion and empathy to her classes. I could not recommend Dominique more highly.
I'm a beginner (school French many years ago) and wanted to feel more confident speaking when I travel to France. I wanted to focus on sounding French, my French accent, rather than just vocab (I have a residual vocab from school). Laura is an enthusiastic and fun tutor who uses a variety of media (including phonetics) to teach, which means lessons are enjoyable and I'm motivated to learn. Being a native French speaker and fluent in English, Laura provides an authentic and refreshing approach to learning a language. I have no reservations in recommending her as a French tutor.
Laura has been a fantastic help for my French! Passionate about french speaking and pronunciation, and clearly experienced in teaching french grammar and writing, Laura helped me to achieve a very high score on my French oral GCSE and an A* grade overall. Highly recommend her!
