Outstanding Mentor
Pauline tutored me for the duration of my A-level French course, and also helped me prepare an application to study languages at Oxford- it was her inspiration and dedication greatly influenced my decision to pursue languages at University in the first place!
Not only was she an outstanding tutor, but she also suggested a really interesting range of subjects and novels to read that made my application stand out, and gave me a great grasp of French culture and literature. She is rigorous with grammar, and after a year of her tutoring I arrived at Oxford with a level of language that made my current grammar teacher think I had lived in France!
I would recommend her to anyone interested in French or who needs help improving grammar.

Amazing tutor!
Pauline was a brilliant tutor. She made things that once seemed so complicated so easy. She was engaging and kind and I wouldn't have been able to get through my French GCSE without her magnificent help.

10/10 for Pauline
Pauline was easily one of the best teacher's I've ever had. She taught me French at A Level and was a big factor in me choosing to study French at the University of Exeter.
Pauline is incredibly engaging, efficient, and patient. If I didn't understand something she would always have another way of explaining it that would help me understand. She doesn't give students answers, rather structures her lessons in such a way that the students can work them out and find them. The result of this is that the amount her students remember and retain is incredible. Learning languages can be incredibly dull and repetitive, but Pauline managed to consistently keep her students attention, and ultimately the grades that we all got are a testimony to her teaching.
She has a genuine love of all things languages and as a consequence is able to explain even the most obscure questions with ease. She demands high standards and effort from all her pupils, but is never unfair. She was unanimously respected by all her students because she brought the best out of us.
The quality of teaching I got from Pauline was far better than anything I received at University and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Despite leaving school 5 years ago, Pauline and I remain friends to this to day and I owe much of my enthusiasm and love of languages to her.

Great!!!!!
Pauline was a fantastic help to our daughter when she most needed ti concentrating on her aural French but also giving her more than a little help in other areas throughout the time she tutored her. Can't recommend her enough.
