Stephen is a great tutor.
Only three sessions in but Stephen has been brilliant. He is a natural and experienced teacher. He is approachable, patient and goes above and beyond in providing added value outside of tutor sessions.
Thoroughly recommend.
Merci beaucoup!
Alex
Bon début Alex, et bonne continuation! (Note adjective endings).
From Rachael
So delighted to have found Stephen. Our daughter’s words … “He’s so lovely; has helped me understand; & has grown my confidence massively” From a place at Christmas where she wanted to drop French GCSE, to someone who now enjoys learning the language. Thank you Mr !
You really can't beat a mutual appreciation society!
It's been a pleasure to light the bleu touch-paper.
From Angela
We are glad having Stephen to help on my child’s French. Stephen is very knowledgable with great passion on teaching. He well prepares each lesson, and also gives parents a detailed summary after lesson. Thank you Stephen!
From Scott
Great Teacher, can't recommend high enough!
Keen little learners! Exciting project. A mutual appreciation society.
From Rachel
My son has only had one lesson so far but Stephen has been very accommodating helping him get over initial nerves and after the lesson my boy said it was really good. So can’t say fairer than that really
From Sue
An experienced, approachable and professional tutor. I would highly recommend Stephen.
It is always a pleasure to meet new students and find out what makes them tick!
From James
Stephen is an experienced educator and this shows through his professional but personal approach to tuition. He caters each session according to skill level and has clearly thought about each lesson in advance, coming prepared with exercises and teaching aids. As well as being capable he is also a charming and interesting chap, which makes the lessons not only beneficial but genuinely enjoyable. I'd highly recommend him for your lessons :)
Thank you James. It is always a pleasure to meet a motivated learner and a man with a mission. Bonne continuation!
From Biju
Excellent teacher, very approachable, able to mould the subject around the child's interests. Makes the subject interesting. Will recommend to anybody looking for help with learning foreign languages like French
Always a pleasure to encounter a bright child!
From Heather
An excellent tutor that we would recommend without hesitation. My son was struggling with his understanding of French GCSE getting Ds and Es in controlled assessments. However, Stephen has built up a great rapport with him (and us as a family) and made learning french easy to understand and enjoyable. We have yet to get the final results of my son's GCSE French exams, but we have seen an improvement in his most recent controlled assessments and mock exams obtaining As.
Stephen was always prompt and reliable, a brilliant tutor!
Always a pleasure to see real progress. Dad's tea-making: A*.
From Sarah
Stephen was very prompt to respond to our request for AS level French tuition. He is providing a personalised programme of learning, identifying where help is most needed. Alongside the learning of the language, he is also providing very useful advice and practice for taking both the oral and written exams.
1:1 is a luxury for the learner and a pleasure for the teacher!
From Gerry Woollard
An excellent teacher able to step down to beginners level. Kind and reassuring and very knowledgeable
Thank you Gerry. Back from Quebec now and will be in touch very soon
From Andrew
From Emily
Stephen is an excellent tutor and has a great approach to teaching French making it enjoyable and interesting. My daughter has made real improvement in a short time and has gained in confidence with both her written and spoken French
From Gill
Stephen came highly recommended by my daughter who he taught at school. Lessons are fun and informative and Stephen has tailored the lessons to suit our requirements.
Keen to learn and to use the language. Je suis très content de vous revoir!
From Alun
Stephen makes learning a very enjoyable experience, lessons are made even more intetresting and relevant by referencing a wider cultural and practical knowledge of France. I look forward to the sessions, it is a shame I did not have a French teacher who could enthuse and inspire when I was 13!
Alun est un étudiant sérieux qui fait des progrès!
From Margo
Stephen is a superb tutor, very quickly picked up on where the knowlege gaps were and in tune with how to get the best out of our teenage son in terms of teaching/learning style. In two sessions we are noticing a real boost in confidence particularly in relation to spoken french and the basics of french grammar which appear to have been missed at middle school are now more secure.
A very receptive learner. It's always a pleasure to move pupils along. Thanks for your feedback.
From Catherine
Going well, the children interact well and enjoy the lessons.
From Tony
Serious student acquiring vocabulary quickly.
