I generally charge between £20 and £25 per hour for individual tuition whether it be in my own home or in the home of the tutee.

In the last academic year I tutored a girl for AS and A2 French, a boy for GCSE French and a boy for GCSE German
The year before I tutored a girl for AS and A2 German.
I have also tutored adults on an individual basis in French and German for the purposes of pleasure and business.
Do you have a personal message for students?
I am friendly and understand the needs of students as I am currently involved in the new GCSE and 'A' level syllabuses.
I consider the work that I do with students to be a partnership, and would expect that they put as much effort into this as I do in order to make good progress.
My approach is centred on the individual targets and ability of my students.

My Testimonials

Hilary tutored me for AS and A2 French over 2 years. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking for a language tutor. She is extremely reliable and friendly. She helped me to focus on the areas that needed improvement, whether that be grammar, listening, essay writing etc. She takes great interest in her pupil's success and I really enjoyed my lessons with her.
