About Me
My name is Maria, and I offer a unique advantage in English tutoring as a native French speaker raised in multicultural London. This lifelong immersion in both languages allows me to provide invaluable insight into mastering English. With years of experience teaching students of all ages, I craft creative, engaging lessons personalized to your goals.

Salut, je m'appelle Maria! As a born-and-raised Parisian, French is my native and cherished mother tongue. From the charming streets of Montmartre to the grandeur of the Louvre, the language and culture course through my veins. Having studied at elite French institutions like Lycée Henri IV, I have a deep academic grasp of grammar, literature, and more. Yet my passion is making this beautiful language come alive through dynamic, personalized teaching. With an upbeat, encouraging approach, I adapt to each student's needs - whether you're a total beginner, brushing up for travel, or pursuing academic excellence through the Baccalaureate.

English is an essential subject but can grow to become extremely daunting for young students that struggle to get to grips with it. I specialise in tutoring primary school English students, assisting in creative writing, reading comprehensions and all aspects of exam preparation.

This class will allow each young student to gain confidence in a difficult subject and improve their marks at school. I have tutored children who struggle with dyslexia, ADHD and many different challenges, so don't be put off if your child really feels averse to English!

We can work alongside the school/classroom curriculum where I can also provide a deeper learning of current school learning.

I am a native Albanian speaker that will be able to teach you everything you want to know, boost your confidence and help you with your accent in Albanian at all levels. Albanian grammar can be very tricky and hard, but together we will make it as easy as possible!

I started teaching in Albanian about 3 years ago and I also do a part-time translation job. In addition, I always offer help to translate from English to Albanian or vice versa to Albanian family and friends.

Most of my students are Albanian children that are raised in the UK and do not speak Albanian fluently, so their parents make sure to contact me, so I can teach them and I have had amazing results! In addition, partners of Albanian natives contact me, so they can communicate better with their spouse and the rest of the spouse's family, or even try to slowly - slowly teach their newborn children!

The early stages of education are essential to academic growth and understanding as they learn how to navigate the English language, expand their vocabulary and increase their knowledge of correct grammatical rules and spelling.

Sign your child up to this class for a fun and exciting learning experience where they can learn how to do all of the aforementioned and more!

A great way to spend the summer preparing for the next stage of their life or even during term time to get those extra precious hours in ;)

Struggling to find a tutor who truly gets you and how you learn best? Let’s work together to discover strategies that match your interests and help you succeed!

Hey! My name is Sophie, and I’m here to help you master French and math with ease and confidence. As an MSc Management and Strategy student at LSE and a graduate of a bilingual Russian-French school, have a deep grasp of these subjects, allowing me to tailor lessons to your unique needs. I’ve had the rewarding experience of teaching extracurricular French classes to middle and high school students at my former school, and I also have experience tutoring math. Whether you're aiming to boost your conversational skills, improve grammar, or strengthen math fundamentals, my blend of subject knowledge and teaching experience will guide you on your journey to success.

My tutoring approach prioritizes patience, clarity, and a tailored teaching style that adapts to each student’s unique learning needs—whether in French or math. When tackling complex French grammar, like the distinction between passé composé and imparfait, I simplify concepts into relatable terms. For example, I liken passé composé to a snapshot—capturing completed actions, while imparfait is more like a video, showing ongoing or habitual actions. Using everyday examples like “J’ai fini mes devoirs” (I finished my homework) or “Je lisais chaque soir” (I used to read every evening), I make these tenses practical and easy to understand.

In math, I apply the same approach by breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, layering in theory and real-life applications to build problem-solving skills progressively. My aim is to create a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, exploring new concepts that are not taught in school, and refining their skills in math or French.

Ultimately, I am dedicated to empowering my students to not just pass exams but to communicate confidently in French and tackle math challenges with ease, equipping them with the tools and confidence they need . Let’s embark on this learning journey together!
