French Tutor with 14 years’ proven experience mentoring language students to improve their confidence, overcome hurdles and maximise their knowledge and potential. I have a 93% pass rate with exam-sitting students, with 32% gaining 8, 9, and A* grades.
With younger students, I offer one-to-one online French tuition for 13+, GCSE, iGCSE, and A Level exam preparation, also undergraduate support. Some students need help building their confidence in the subject, others have gaps in their knowledge which we identify and fill, and several show a flair for the language and benefit from being stretched beyond their actual academic level.
As a French Language Coach, I work with adults on improving their Business French skills across a wide range of industry sectors. I also work with adults who are learning French for pleasure.
Over the years I have created an extensive library of study documents, exercises and lesson plans that can be adapted to each individual student's needs and goals.
Every student will have different questions, different talents and will need to face different hurdles. My calm, patient and considerate approach to tutoring creates an environment where no question is silly, any worries about the subject can be discussed openly, and frustrations can be ironed out, explored and worked through.

Perfect! Professional and enthusiastic
Sarah supported my daughter in the preparatory journey towards A levels. They clearly established a very nice relationship and my daughter was inspired and motivated by her lessons. Sarah is passionate about the subject and clearly able to make a true connection with her students.

Outcome : Very goodPerfect! I can't recommend her more!
Sarah has been teaching my son for a year now. He had no interest in the subject at school.
She has turned around his performance at school with great grades and feedback from his teacher. More importantly, he is always happy to have a lesson with Sarah, no coaxing required...and I always hear a good laugh from the room as they work.

Recommendations

I really enjoyed working with Sarah over the course of several months. I am a working professional with a base level of French and I was required to brush up on my French language skills for a new job requirement. Sarah was a great resource for helping me practice my conversational French and also in finding materials and resources that were relevant to my job in finance. Sarah was very flexible and understanding of my schedule. Sarah is very friendly and personable, which helped me feel comfortable and confident in our lessons and I felt that my abilities improved. I would definitely recommend Sarah for private French lessons.
I have been working with Sarah for many years to gain fluency in my French speaking. I have family and friends in France so this was important, and after beginning from scratch I can now engage in serious debates, read French novels, and my regular lessons with Sarah involve creative writing sessions as well as general conversation. I would highly recommend Sarah.
Sarah is very professional and we always have fun, engaging lessons. I've particularly enjoyed working through past exam paper questions with Sarah. Sarah has provided me with plenty of material to read outside of our lessons which has also been very helpful.
Sarah W tutored both my daughters through their GCSE French courses. They were both lacking in confidence and under-performing until they met Sarah and they both went on to achieve A grades under her supervision. She was kind, responsive to their needs and also extremely professional at all times. They looked forward to meeting with Sarah every week.
Sarah was always reliable and flexible when we needed last minute changes to the timetable. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sarah W.Sarah tutored my son for GSCE French. He enjoyed the lessons and achieved a grade that his teachers never believed possible. When my daughter needed help I had no hesitation in contacting Sarah again. She teaches with great energy and enthusiasm, makes the subject fun, and cares about her students. I highly recommend her.
Sarah is a charming, extremely effective French tutor and she was the first person able to make French interesting for our daughter who was sitting iGCSE. She engaged immediately with my daughter and gave her the confidence to speak French, turning what had been a painful, anxiety-inducing experience into something enjoyable. She always provides positive, constructive feedback and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking a French tutor.
Sarah is teaching French to me and my colleague (European FD) with a view to us improving communication with our office in Paris.
Her lesson planning has been well structured throughout, and we are progressing in a thought out and understandable way. We are now at the point of being able to include a mixture of reading, writing, translation and conversation in most lessons, which is great and keeps us focused on all aspects of the language.
She also has knowledge of, and access to, plenty of online resources, which help immensely.
Sarah is very engaging and proficient tutor who makes the lessons fun and interactive. She is also organised, punctual and flexible if we need to re-arrange a lesson.
We are really enjoying our learning with her and I have not hesitation in recommending her.
Regards, Bee Wilkins, UK & Europe HR Manager, Aquent LLC.We asked Sarah to help prepare our son for his GCSE French exam as he had lost his motivation and this was being reflected in his grades. Sarah changed all that. She is an excellent teacher with seemingly endless energy and enthusiasm for her subject. She has a positive and supportive approach which immediately engaged our son, helping him to progress from the predicted poor grade based on the assessments he had already done to his final B grade - all in a very short space of time. I would thoroughly recommend her.
Sarah has been seeing my twin boys, now twelve years old, for a couple of years now and has made a great difference to their achievement at school. She has been particularly good at developing their conversation. The great thing is that they always enjoy seeing her - there is no groaning when they hear the French tutor is coming!
Sarah is great French tutor for all levels - really patient and enthusiastic but most of all ...fun! I really enjoyed my lessons with Sarah and encourage anyone in the area to speak to her as she can be very flexible for intensive schedules as well as long-standing arrangements. Sarah helped me get back on track with French to improve upon my basic school grounding and i felt much more confident. 10 out of 10.
Sarah was recommended to me by a friend who couldn't sing her praises high enough, and all I can say is she wasn't wrong!
I took French up as a hobby, as my husband and I holiday in France most years. In all honesty I thought the novelty of studying again was going to wear off rather quickly, but 6months on I have moved my fortnightly lessons to weekly sessions as I enjoy it so much!
Sarah is friendly, bubbly and encouraging and all of our lessons are conducted in a fun, but professional manner. It's almost like learning through osmosis! Sarah is an excellent teacher and I couldn't recommend her enough.View more recommendations
