About Diane
"Slow progress is often the secret to genuine fluency, rather than the rapid, shallow drills many students expect. I utilise my 13 years of performing experience to emphasise accent and intonation as physical acts. My MMus and BA background informs how I break down exam preparation for DELF or DALF.
You might find our dialogue practice feels more like a theatre rehearsal than a classroom session. I integrate cultural context into every interaction to ensure your French sounds authentic and considered. Technical accuracy regarding nasal sounds is balanced with natural conversational flow.
We will address your specific writing goals with patience. I look forward to hearing your voice evolve."

"Adult learners often seek a space where language feels tactile, like the crisp click of a consonant against the roof of the mouth. Having spent 13 years performing on international opera stages, I transition seamlessly into teaching French for hobbyists and intermediate speakers. My academic foundation includes a MMus from Trinity Laban and a BA in Modern Languages. I specialise in refining liaison, nasal sounds, and complex verb conjugations for those serious about their progress.
Navigating cultural context remains a core focus of my work with diverse clients. Throughout my career, I have mentored countless students in interview preparation and role play. Writing skills and everyday phrases form the bedrock of my methodology. Feel free to reach out if you would like to explore this beautiful language together."
