Learning a language is often seen as challenging. My approach is simple: ensure a positive experience every lesson by developing a good relationship with my students, explain grammar and linguistic structures in a practical and accessible way and give plenty of opportunities to practise all skills.
Lessons of 45-60 mins allow sufficient time to focus on key concepts with a focus on individual student needs. I have worked as a highly successful Head of Department in schools in UK and in British schools abroad for over 20 years. I gained my degree from Glasgow University and my PGCE from the University of York and have loved teaching French, Spanish and German to students of all abilities. I am experienced in teaching online or face to face, either at my home or the student's home.

Perfect! It has been a joy to have Gillian tutor our children in French. They look forward to her fun lessons. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher in terms of experience and ability to adapt lessons to the individual learner. Very highly recommended.
- Niall and Eala, Rachel’s lovely children are making excellent progress in French and are a delight to teach. I am really impressed by their talent for languages and enthusiasm in our lessons.Gillian's response :

My track record with learning French left a lot to be desired before I met Gillian!
In school I was told not to sit the exam as it wasn't worth it. Years later, after trying to teach myself and getting nowhere, my confidence was so low that I was nervous to reach out to a tutor, worrying I would frustrate them and should jut give up as a lost cause.
Right from Gillians first reply to me, she has been kind and supportive. In a handful of lessons, she taught me more than I've learned in years. She even had me confident enough to speak in French to the locals on a holiday to Paris just a couple of months into lessons.
You won't find a better tutor, and her prices are a bargain!
If you've been thinking about hiring a tutor, please pop Gillian a message now, you won't regret it!See more recommendations
