Rachel has lived and worked in France and she has taught French in English schools and university for many years where I worked alongside her. She is a great teacher: she is super organised and yet is sensitive to her students’ needs and she makes learning fun!

I was looking for someone to help me develop natural, conversational French (building on my decades-old basics from school). Rachel was recommended to me by a close friend who is a native French speaker and teaching professional. She tailors everything to my needs and learning style - our "lessons" are lively, relevant, balanced between conversation and more structured learning, and are fun and enjoyable. Rachel's own French is utterly fluent and natural, and having lived in France she is also completely familiar with the French way of life. Although I still have huge amounts to learn, my confidence to speak and comprehend in real situations in France (with neighbours, tradespeople and professionals) has come on leaps and bounds. I recommend without hesitation.

Rachel is enthusiastic and makes learning French fun and accessible. I would highly recommend her teaching.
