Sophie is a fantastic professional Tutor, her deep understanding and love for teaching is obvious and this was critical to me.
Her down to earth and practical approach immediately put me at ease. After a few months of working with Sophie I can genuinely say I achieved positive results.
Sophies genuine and she uses her deep experience and generous nature to great effect. You will feel validated, supported and at times challenged, but working with Sophie will positively impact you.I have been meeting Sophie more or less weekly for about 6 years. I wanted to improve my French as I have a house in France. We only speak French which was quite a shock at first. But the improvement has been fantastic. I can hold conversations with my neighbors and even complain to EDF by phone when they overcharged us 4,000 euros! I sorted it - the whole thing in French over about 4 long calls. I ask her for feedback and she is totally honest. She also seems to be able to converse on any topic - from philosophy to football. And she is just very competent and very nice. She is very rational which I did not expect from a French person (stereotypes!) which leads to some debates as I am not. But I never thought I would be able to have such debates in French in the first place. I have to improve in tenses other than the present!
Sophie has successfully tutored me for several years and the results are evident by the feedback I have received from others. She is supportive, encouraging, rigorous and has a nice sense of humour. I particularly like that her lessons are tailored to the student’s needs and that she is full of ideas on how to supplement learning in a practical, helpful and interesting way.
Sophie is an extremely professional French teacher. She is very experienced and has a good teaching method. She is also good at encouraging my child to speak French which is always a difficult task. My son has made big progress in French and has achieved good academic
results in French. I would recommend her any time.Sophie is very precise in her work. She pays attention to detail and is focused and clear in her instruction. She adopts a very professional approach, whereby she uses positive intervention to support the learning of her student.
She is always ready to extend and explain ideas. She speaks excellent English and her French is very clear and precise. She has worked with us for a year and displays the knowledge and skills required to support at A-level standard and beyond.Sophie was the first tutor I contacted when I decided to refresh my French, and as luck would have it I didn't need to look any further. She has all the qualities that go to make up an excellent tutor - she's patient, thorough, reliable, flexible, has an incredible command of the English language (more so than most English people!) as well as, of course, her native French, and is very easy to get along with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anybody.
Sophie has been my French tutor for 4 years. She has been excellent in every respect: attentive, has highly developed teaching skills, is unusually knowledgeable, is encouraging, totally reliable, and very easy to get on with.
Sophie has been tutoring my two children for several years on a weekly basis. She is a fantastic tutor and a lovely person. Sophie has a calm and gentle approach to teaching and makes her lessons varied and interesting. She has helped both my children to academic success in French, my son achieved A* at GCSE and he is now studying French for A level. My daughter has yet to take her GCSEs but she achieved high marks in her Common Entrance exam. They both look forward to their sessions with Sophie and she has instilled in them a great love of the French language and culture.
I had weekly French classes with Sophie for 1.5 years. She was very friendly and easy to get on with. Lessons were structured to my individual needs and I found it to be very good value for money.
