Learn French with a native speaker with more than twenty years of teaching experience

Caroline is an experienced teacher and I really appreciated her teaching style. She was non judgemental and very supportive during my French lessons. I contacted Caroline as my French was a different levels. I was confident with my listening, however I had low confidence in speaking. Her teaching methods and supportive leaning material really helped.

Caroline is an outstanding French teacher. I have never been able to learn a language so quickly before. The best thing about her teaching method is that she makes sure you fully understand logic behind the language, making it very easy to become immersed in it. Learning with Caroline is fun and she makes sure the lessons are tailored to your needs / ability whilst ensuring the lessons are fun, which makes learning much easier!
I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French.

Caroline is a truly fabulous teacher! I have French lessons with her to improve my rusty French and she’s just what I need. She’s precise, very good at explaining things and doesn’t let me get away with being lazy or taking shortcuts which is a problem of mine! I whole heartedly recommend Caroline for French or Italian lessons. Very reasonably priced and very enjoyable!

Language learning is a lengthy journey, full of twists and turns, and if you do decide to embark on one, you surely want a great companion along the way to guide you and make you embrace the peculiarities of the language and the culture. I’ve been learning French with Caroline for over three years and my linguistic journey has been nothing short of exciting discovery and joy. Being not only a brilliant linguist herself, Caroline is also a great tutor, who knows how to turn a lesson into a fun and knowledge-packed activity. We never run out of topics to discuss, exercises to do and new vocabulary to learn. And Caroline’s personalised approach will guarantee you will make the most out of every minute of the lesson

I have been a London Blue Badge (Professional) Tourist Guide since 2012. When all of my work was cancelled at the beginning of the pandemic I decided to work on my very rusty French, with the aim of taking the language exam to enable me to guide in French.

I found Caroline online and we started lessons on Zoom in March 2020. Thanks to a combination of Caroline's excellent instruction and the hard work I dedicated to my lockdown project, I took and passed my language exam in January 2023.

Caroline is very friendly and encouraging, but also quite strict. She praised me when praise was due and encouraged me, but she also gave me constructive criticism and a friendly ' kick up the back side' if she felt that I could do better. She is very good at picking up repetitive mistakes and spotting when you are avoiding, or just not using, certain constructions or grammatical points. I would recommend Caroline to anyone. She's a consummate professional and I'm so pleased that I found her!

I've been taking French lessons online with Caroline for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She has a real talent for making the lessons engaging and enjoyable, encouraging me to listen to podcasts and watch TV shows and films to bring the language to life. Her approach is tailored to me and my circumstances, which keeps me motivated to learn. She challenges me to improve but always keeps things fun! I highly recommend Caroline to anyone looking to learn French!

Caroline has been tutoring me for around 3 years now - I’d tried a few different groups and classes to improve my French, but it wasn’t until I found Caroline that I really felt a difference in my level and my confidence. Everything is completely tailored to the specific gaps in my knowledge and what I’d like to achieve, and she sends interesting links to tv programmes and articles etc. between lessons. No more boring textbooks - Caroline brings our lessons to life and keeps them interesting, I recommend her to everyone.

Caroline is an excellent teacher who takes pride in her attention to detail. I have been working with her for several years to improve my French. The lessons are very good value for money as she is very organized and continually creates new exercises and educational content to consolidate difficult points for her students. She excels at finding the precise balance of positive encouragement and gentle pressure needed to push us students out of our language comfort zones. Her approach focuses on empowering students to use the language in a way that is personal and real to them, no matter their level of vocabulary or grammar. Lessons are highly tailored to your interests and needs, not just going through exercises in a generic book. All language teachers correct what their students say, but Caroline goes a step beyond: she will notice what language points you *avoid*, and will train you to use them in an everyday setting so that your French sounds more natural. She is particularly skilled at French-English difficulties, so if you are an Anglophone hoping to learn French (or vice versa) I highly recommend you seek her out.
