I would definitely recommend Kate as a tutor to anyone interested in improving their French or even a complete or near complete beginner. Her lessons have improved my French immensely and I thoroughly enjoyed learning the language through Kate. Kate clearly loves the language and teaching it. Such an adoration for a subject is very infectious and leaves you with the appetite to continue to learn and progress.

My daughter has been going to Kate for French lessons for over a year. She really looks forward to going and Kate’s lessons have instilled an enthusiasm to learn more French and her confidence has really grown. I would highly recommend Kate!
Mrs L, Richmond
My daughter wasn’t fond of French until she started lessons with Kate. Now it’s one of her favourite subjects. Most importantly Kate helped to develop confidence for her IGCSE exam. The exam was surprisingly much easier than Sofia expected. Thank you very much Kate!
Mrs C, Surbiton
Kate taught my 9-year-old son French for 2hrs a week over 1 year. He looked forward to Kate’s lessons as she made every lesson different and interactive, with a great mix of online, DVD, oral and book learning. She had a wonderfully calm, reassuring and patient approach with him. We are very pleased that he achieved a good understanding of the language in a short period of time and would highly recommend Kate for language tuition.
Dr S, St Margarets
The French went so well today! I answered all the questions that she asked me and understood them all! She was very happy with me at the end and said I should be proud of myself. So thank you so much Kate for helping me with it, I couldn’t have done it without you!
Orleans Park School student
I would definitely recommend Kate as a tutor. She taught our 10-year-old son and her lessons improved his French hugely. He had a few basic words wrong, and she carefully explained the difference. He was happy to go to the lessons-half the battle won.
Mrs M, Teddington
Your help has just been fantastic, I can’t tell you the difference it has made. She finds it difficult to retain information but the way you have been working with her has been brilliant. She is loving her lessons with you and has even said that she would love to continue after her GCSEs.
Mrs H, Twickenham
Kate has been fantastic in supporting my daughter during Year 13 with her French A Level. There are so many areas of the A Level course to be sure of. She homed in on exactly what she needed to work on, talking through with her in detail what aspects of the course/ exam board needed support. She has also been a ray of positivity during this last term of endless assessments and stress, a voice of help and confidence building! Thank you, Kate!
Mrs G, East Sheen
Kate has been a brilliant French tutor for my son. In the space of 4-5 months, she supported my son for his GSCE French exam. From the outset she understood the areas that my son was struggling with/ weak on and helped build his confidence in French to the degree that he gained a 9 in his French. Her style of tutoring meant that my son started to enjoy the language and French lessons were no longer a struggle. We are so grateful for Kate`s input and very highly recommend her.
Mrs C, Richmond
Dear Kate, I thought I would share the immensely happy news that Jaya got a 7 in French. She is so surprised and delighted. I’m so grateful for all your help towards this success and building of self-belief in herself.
Mrs J, Twickenham
Ellen got her 5 in French! She could not have done it without your help, and she really enjoyed her tuition sessions with you too.
Mr T, Twickenham
Kate is an amazing and inspiring teacher. Her lessons are perfectly pitched to the individual student and knowledge of the exam boards and their requirements for each paper is impressive. Kate’s gentle encouragement and fun lessons made all the difference to my daughter in the run up to her French GCSE exams and I am enormously grateful to her.
Mrs P, Esher
Kate is a highly applauded French tutor. We are extremely lucky to have found her. Already our son has improved hugely in confidence in his French and aced his Mock exams. We look forward to continuing through to GCSE. Our son really enjoys the lessons, she is truly amazing.
Ms S, Twickenham
Kate tutored my daughter for less than a couple of months in preparation for her French GCSE exams. My daughter really enjoyed the time spent with her and felt the lessons were very productive. Kate worked really well with my daughter and was patient and engaging. The only regret is we didn`t connect with Kate sooner.
Dr M, Twickenham
Thank you for all the support you gave me with my Spanish IGCSE exam. I really enjoyed coming to your lessons and being able to ask questions about things I hadn’t understood at school. I gained an A* in my Spanish and was really pleased as my target grade had been an A. Spanish

Kate explains things very clearly and is excellent at helping me understand the more complex grammar and sentence structures at this level. She has also really helped my confidence, especially in my spoken Spanish, and she is always very encouraging about my progress. I really look forward to going to her lessons.
Esher Sixth Form College Student
My daughter is really enjoying her lessons with you, to an extent I did not think possible. Thank you so much.
Mrs J, Whitton
She is over the moon with her Spanish result. Thank you so much for all your amazing input, it clearly had a huge impact on her learning.
Mrs B, Kingston
My daughter was tutored by Kate in the run up to her GCSE Spanish after being told that she was going to be entered into the Foundation paper. Kate’s lessons were excellent, my daughter really enjoyed going every week and Spanish quickly became a favourite subject. She was entered for the Higher paper and gained an ‘A’ grade (7), but more importantly a passion for the language. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kate.
Mrs W, Strawberry Hill
Kate has provided amazing support as a Spanish tutor to my son during his GCSEs. His Spanish improved rapidly and he started to enjoy the subject, literally from the first lesson. She seems to understand the needs of each student, meet them where they are and tailor the lessons accordingly. I highly recommend Kate as a tutor.
Ms R, St Margarets
Kate has been a godsend to our MFL faculty, by standing in at short notice to provide continuity and support to our Year 11 and 13 Spanish students in the run up to their IGCSE and IB exams. She has prepared thoroughly for the lessons, showing initiative and flexibility. Thank you, Kate.
Clare Hubner, Head of MFL, Windermere School, Cumbria
My son looked forward to his Spanish lessons with Kate and flourished in her lessons. Achieving a 7 at GCSE was far beyond school predictions and absolutely a result of Kate’s patience and encouragement. She inspired a confidence and self-belief that he could do well and he was delighted. Thank you Kate.
Mrs T, East Moseley
Kate has helped me indescribable amounts, I was getting grades ranging from 4 and 5 and achieving anything above that in my GCSE’s was out of the question. I had lost loads of confidence and all I needed was someone to build me up and nurture me to believe I could do better. She did just that, from the first session she had a warming personality that made me unafraid to contribute and learn while making mistakes along the way. Within weeks, I was not only seeing significant improvement but I actually began to really enjoy learning the language. I took my GCSE’s feeling prepared, she knows the structure of the exams inside and out, so when I sat down I felt a sense of solidarity and composure I never had felt when navigating the tests. I was astonished to get a 7 which was 3 more grades higher than I was getting during mocks. I would recommend her to anyone I know if you need help she is truly godsend!
