About Me
n July 2022, I took early retirement from full time classroom teaching, following 30 years of MFL teaching in London secondary schools. I have taught French and German from beginners to advanced level, including IB diploma (higher) as well as ab initio. I have also taught Italian GCSE.
I have a TEFL qualification and experience in teaching English as a foreign language
I am fully up to speed with the requirements of the main exam boards for French and German GCSE and A level. I have a range of relevant and stimulating materials for the successful delivery of MFL tuition at all levels, including interactive teaching materials.
I have vast experience of online and face to face private tutoring and have had a number of tutees in London as well as other parts of the UK (online). I also have some clients in Switzerland, China and in the US.
I have up to date knowledge of the syllabus and requirements of all the main examination boards, including IGCSE.
I also have been conducting MFL speaking exams (AQA, CIGCSE, Edexcel IGCSE) for a private exam centre in London.
I have marked GCSE MFL writing and speaking papers for Edexcel and AQA.
All my lessons are very carefully planned to suit the needs of the individual. I tend to send the lesson content in advance, as well as suggestions for pre lesson vocabulary learning. I set and mark homework according the client’s wishes/needs.

My name is Younes and I am a qualified English teacher and a French instructor who lives in the UK.
I love working with adults and children of all ages, which allows me to help them reach their full potential.
I am currently teaching in London at my own college. I have been teaching and preparing students for the last 12 years. I taught many French and English classes such as ESOL, ESL, or Functional Skills. Most of these exams are based in England however I have also thought TOEIC to prepare French students for all of these exams.
I use different software to teach such as Zoom or Skype.
I use different resources (such as PDF and Word documents) for my classes. I also have a virtual whiteboard available.
A typical session with me takes between 1h30 minutes to 2 hours.
I like helping students that are between A1 to B2 levels however my main goal is to help students to become advanced or fluent.
I would be happy to adapt to any student based on your objective, of course.
One of my main goals is to support your vocabulary and grammar.
What really made me unique is that I was in the same position as you and today I have become fluent.
If you have any questions, you could contact me and I would be glad to have a conversation with you.
See you soon.
