Course Teacher
Probably best described as a French nerd, my passion and enthusiasm for the French language and culture is, I am told, contagious I never tire of looking at even the most basic grammar because it is the foundation of everything.
I have a degree in French Studies from The University of Birmingham, and following that I lived in Brittany, Montpellier and Colomiers near Toulouse and had 2 children over there. While I was living in France I taught French students English and (to their surprise), French as well!
I took part in a pilot scheme on the Wirral a few years ago, teaching French in several Primary Schools and I have taught my own successful French Conversation Classes for adults for over 10 years now.
My aim is for people to feel relaxed and able to talk without feeling self conscious - I can remember my personal struggles with the language when I first lived in France. Every language teacher learns something new every day. My favourite part of teaching adults is meeting a host of people from various backgrounds and ages who all bring something extra and fabulous to each class.
