About Samantha
I am a friendly, patient and approachable person. I am doing my best to make my students feel comfortable and relax, so they can ask me questions and don't feel afraid to make mistakes.
I am passionate about my subject and always use the latest materials on the market as well continuing to improving my teaching techniques by regularly doing courses or workshops.
Moreover, I empathize with my students because I had to learn English myself. Therefore, I know it can be difficult to learn a foreign language and even frustrating at times. Yet, it is also very rewarding to be able to understand and speak another language, to laugh at a joke, read a book or obtain great result at an exam. It takes a bit of time, practice and perseverance as well as a good sense of humour!

Bonjour! My name is Samantha. I am a qualified and experienced teacher originally from Bordeaux. I have been living in the UK for many years and, after working in different roles in the educational system, I decided to undertake a French teaching qualification. The course was really stimulating and learning about pedagogy was particularly interesting. That was over ten years ago and I have enjoyed teaching ever since.
During my lessons, I use different materials such as videos, images, games, films, music and the latest course books as well as my own creations. I regularly give feedbacks and informed my students of their progress.
I do not give a large number of pages of grammar rules or long lists of vocabulary, they simply do not work. Instead, I make my students think how French works as it helps them to understand and memorise the language better. The vocabulary is always seen in context and my students learn new words by drawing them or using a synonym, a method which is far more effective than long lists.
My students often comment on how quickly the lessons go and how much they enjoy them, which is a great satisfaction for me.
I have experience of teaching on a one-to-one basis as well as small groups.
I teach face to face at home and online (using Zoom).
I am very familiar with the curriculum for French GCSE and A Level. All my students are doing very well at their exams, some have got A* result and gained a place at Oxford or Edinburgh University.
I teach University students who have French as a major or as a minor subject. At this level, a few lessons can do wonder on oral exams as well as learning how to debate or present a project.
I have many years experience teaching general French and French for tourism to adults together with French culture, which is crucial when learning a language.

I would whole heartedly recommend Sam for anyone wishing to take French lessons. Learning not just the language but also about French life and culture was important to me and I find this really enjoyable during our lessons. I feel I benefit more from Sam being French also! She makes classes interesting, using different methods of learning, and she gives encouragement. She has been most understanding, sympathetic and flexible when I encountered some weeks of hospital treatment. I am an older 'student' who didn't want lessons online. This was another option I opted to go with her. I look forward to my lessons and would recommend her to anyone who wished to learn or improve their French. Thank you Sam!
I have been having lessons with Sam for a number of months now. She is wonderful! I couldn’t recommend her more! The way she plans out the lessons is really helpful and I always come away feeling like I’ve learnt a lot and am already looking forward to the next lesson!
