About Simon
As your tutor, I am looking forward to harnessing all my expertise and resources and in-depth knowledge of exam board requirements to help you achieve your best results. Lessons will be informal but rigorous, with plenty of speaking in French and always with your needs uppermost in my planning and delivery.
Some reviews from previous pupils:
“Fantastic A-level French tutor, cannot recommend highly enough. Knowledgeable, supportive, great with exam technique and really easy to get along with.”
“Simon is an excellent tutor. He gave my son exactly what was needed - exam-focused, practical and committed attention, which really lifted both his level and his confidence. He has excellent knowledge of the A level curriculum, provided lots of extra materials, and was flexible and responsive beyond the limits of the booked sessions. I really can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Simon is an excellent teacher whose in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of the A-level syllabus allows him to see where my weaknesses and strengths lie. He has helped me gain confidence and that is starting to show in my assessments at college. He is easy to get on with, cares about his subject and generous with sharing his knowledge. I was apprehensive about continuing French but he has given me a new perspective on the subject.“

I have taught French, Italian and English for over thirty years both in the UK and abroad in a variety of schools and colleges. I have been Head of French and Head of Modern Languages at a leading independent school in Cambridge for over 14 years and have been taking pupils through GCSE and A-Level French for over twenty-five years. I have helped numerous pupils prepare for Oxbridge interviews and pre-interview tests. I have taught English in language schools in the UK and in Italy and France and spent four years teaching English in a collège and a lycée where I prepared pupils for the baccalauréat.
Tutoring Approach
As well as rigorous exam-based preparation and revision, I offer a communicative and highly interactive methodology which requires pupils to think on their feet with an encouraging and step-by-step approach. Lessons last one hour.
First class degree (Durham University), PGCE and several years experience as a tutor with excellent track record.
