À propos
Bonjour, I’m Sophie.
I’m a native French speaker and a PGCE-qualified secondary-school French teacher, with classroom experience teaching GCSE and A-level French. I’ve been tutoring for thirteen years, and I’m an AQA examiner, so I know how the exams are marked as well as how they’re taught.
Lessons are calm, structured and encouraging. Many of my students arrive anxious about speaking; my aim is for them to leave confident, with the grade to match.

Les questions
Common questions
Which exam boards do you cover?
AQA and Edexcel for GCSE and A-level, plus IGCSE. Each student gets a shared folder of past papers, mark schemes and examiner reports for their board.
Do I need to live nearby?
No. Lessons run online, so I teach students in Eastbourne, Lewes, Brighton, across East Sussex and across the UK.
What happens in the free consultation?
Twenty minutes to talk through where your child is now, their exam board and target grade, and how lessons would work.
Why a monthly package?
Regular weekly lessons are what move grades. The package keeps a fixed weekly slot, with homework and progress monitoring between lessons.
Do you teach complete beginners?
Yes. Adults often start from nothing, for travel, work or curiosity — French for Holidays is a good first step.
What if we need to cancel?
Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are forfeit and will not be refunded or rescheduled.
