Libby tutored my daughter before her GCSEs, and I can't recommend her highly enough! She is very professional to deal with, knowledgeable about the subject and a great teacher, as well as patient and supportive to the student. She calmly encouraged S and gave her a boost of confidence and skills, which helped her to gain excellent GCSE results. We are so grateful for her and would definitely recommend her to others.

Libby began giving our son extra tutoring in Y11 and for approximately one academic year. Though this was an hour of extra tuition once a week, mainly during term-time, our son found it very useful as this helped him improve from the region of grade 4s/5s in Y10 to 7-9s in Y11. It was very helpful in improving specific aspects of the subject which required more help. It also improved his confidence in the subject. The lessons were online but our son found them similar in quality to in-person lessons. There were a range of different activities, resources and homework. Libby came across, as very organised, evident in term dates and times provided ahead of time and lesson plans for the lessons. She was also professional. I also received feedback, some by request and others from Libby's initiative. I would recommend Libby as a good French tutor if you're looking for tutoring for your child.

Libby is an enthusiastic, fun and encouraging teacher. I particularly wanted help with practical, everyday conversational French. she has tailored each lesson to help me progress further and build my confidence. I can highly recommend her!

Libby gave my son back his confidence with French. He had been moved down to foundation at school after bad mock grades and didn’t believe he had the knowledge or skills to get a grade 5 in his GCSE. Three sessions with Libby, his self belief was back. She focused on the skills he needed and showed him that he could do it. He passed his GCSE with a grade 5.

No, I am not a native speaker. In my view this is a real advantage as a languages teacher! I have first-hand experience of learning French and Spanish as additional languages myself. Therefore I thoroughly understand any difficulties you might face, and am able to equip you with strategies to overcome them.
Yes, I am fully DBS checked and am registered with the update service.
Blocks of lessons are ongoing. When you book a place, I can advise you on a start date for the course you would like. I will factor in group size as well and your availability, where possible. 
All conversation classes are paid for in either blocks of 3, 4 and 6. Payment is due upfront 1 week before the course begins, enabling me to do the relevant preparation work. Payment can be made electronically by bank transfer, or by cheque if you prefer.
Classes are block booked and paid for 1 week in advance of the block starting. If you cannot make a particular class, I ask that you please give 24 hours notice, where possible. If less notice or no notice is given, I will still require payment for the lesson.
