Scotland-wide, in your own home
Whether it's a school pupil who needs real confidence speaking, not just grammar drills, or an adult brushing up before a trip or a move — friendly, one-to-one French, in your own home.
Who's teaching
A proper academic grounding in the language, not a casual hobbyist.
Real, everyday fluency — not textbook French, the kind people actually speak.
Comfortable teaching complete beginners through to confident learners, any level.
Disclosure Scotland PVG check in place — the standard every parent in Scotland should expect from anyone teaching their child one-to-one.
How a lesson actually goes
Lessons are built around actually speaking and understanding — real conversation, real confidence — rather than working through a jotter page by page. Grammar comes in when it's genuinely useful, not as homework to get through before the "real" learning starts.
For a school pupil, that means practice that actually builds spoken confidence alongside what they're doing in class. For an adult preparing for a trip, a move, or just picking up something they always meant to learn properly — it means lessons shaped entirely around what you actually want to be able to say.
