About Stephane
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have lived in London for 22 years - before deciding to teach I worked in various professions - I am fluent in English.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
My up to date DBS Certificate is being processed. I have a less recent one I needed before helping out at the school and accompanying the children on the yearly camping trips.
- Where and with whom did you train?
International House London, Covent Garden.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
My youngest students are 7 and 9 years old - they know a lot of French from their mother but need encouragement and confidence to speak - we do this through playing games and mostly having fun. My oldest is an English teacher in her fifties - she speaks French quite well and just enjoys chatting with me so that she doesn't forget what she has learnt. I also teach children studying for GSCE on a more academic level for 'O' and 'A' level. So basically I cover all the bases - my style and methods of teaching depend on the needs of the student and how quickly they wish to progress. My preferred method is the communicative technique - but when it comes to teaching language I think it very much depends on the student.

I have known Stephane as a tutor in an evening class since June 2017. Stephane delivers interesting and enjoyable tasks to improve our spoken and written French. He is able to balance the diverse needs of the group from complete beginners to intermediate students. His sessions are fun but rigorous. As a retired teacher myself I realise how well he has planned the sessions and how confidently and sensitively he delivers the classes. He is always well prepared and starts each session punctually. I would have no hesitation in recommending Stephane as a tutor.
I have been having lessons with Steph for over a year now...
and my French has improved considerably. He is a wonderfully charismatic teacher who makes lessons fun so progress is rapid. I highly recommend him for work with both adults and children.Steph helped us before our holiday in France last year...
as our French was almost non-existent. His refreshing approach not only helped us to recall and use the vocab we already knew but encouraged us to speak informally on a much wider range of topics (not just how to order a coffee!).
However the strongest advantage we gained from Steph's tutorage was the much greater ability to hear the language as it is spoken to us.Steph was a great help to me last year...
when he kindly set aside a few hours each week tutoring me French. We chatted whilst cooking some delicious French regional meals, which has given me the confidence to speak French more easily with native French people. He is a great teacher, full of encouragement and patience, and a lot of fun!Stephane has been tutoring our two boys aged 8 and 6 since last summer.
His teaching method is relaxed and interactive which is what our boys need at this stage of their lives. They learn through play and experience, whether it is cooking, playing football, creating games, gardening.
The boys get on really well with him and very much look forward to their lessons.View more recommendations
