French - Beginner

Bonjour, I’m Corinne!

Originally from the Paris region but having spent most of my life in the UK, I’ll teach you my mother tongue in a fun, relaxed environment using a well‑structured curriculum that’s accessible to complete beginners as well as more advanced learners. Whether you’re starting from scratch or brushing up your school French, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

Do you visit France regularly, own a property there, or simply want to impress the locals? I can definitely help you!

After a 36‑year career with a French multinational company in the UK, working in Communications, I decided it was time to fulfil my long‑held ambition to become a French tutor and share my passion for languages. Having studied English, German, and Spanish, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a foreign language.

Even while working full‑time, I taught French to colleagues during lunch breaks using my own resources. Seeing people grow in confidence and start speaking French with ease gave me a real buzz — especially when they found it useful for meetings or conversations with French colleagues.

Now that I’ve left the corporate world, I’m excited to help my local community gain confidence in speaking French.

Don’t worry — my classes aren’t like the ones you may remember from school. And guess what? There are no exams!

On a personal note, I’m married with two grown‑up daughters and in my spare time I enjoy painting shop windows and bottles for special occasions.

I hope to meet you soon! Feel free to get in touch if you’d like a chat or need more information.
A bientôt!
