I strongly believe confidence is key to learning a foreign language. I have a gentle approach with my students but I am also very methodical and I give plenty of tips and advice on learning French. The best part of my job is to adapt to the individual student. Please read some of my current students' testimonials (on the View Full Profile page). Any questions, please ask!

I made the decision about 18 months ago to improve my conversational, reading and writing skills in the French language. As a middle-aged professional I had not studied French in over 25 years and my level (even then) was very basic. Magali clearly prepares for lessons in advance so they are structured and tailored. There are reading, writing and listening exercises but, in my case, the emphasis is on actively conversing in French.
I have worked with Magali at Kingston University for nearly 6 years now and have been impressed by her "can do" attitude. She has a real gift for teaching and is able to tailor her lessons to individual students. Over the years we have talked a lot about teaching and tutoring and compared notes; it is obvious that her approach is much appreciated by students and parents alike.
During my final year of A- Levels, Magali helped support me in developing my French speaking skills. She planned the lessons according to the exam board's requirements and my individual needs. She really improved my confidence and this helped me pass at a very good grade.
Issy, A level and GCSE student:
I've been seeing Magali for 4 years and she is a truly incredible teacher. I have learnt so much and have also had lots of fun at the same time - a rare combination to find!Mrs Churchill has been teaching my 8 years-old boy French for few years. She makes it fun, exciting and with lots of games that keeps him engaged. She has creative ways of linking her lessons with everyday-life situations so it is easier for him to practice and show off his newly learnt vocabulary. He has been picking up conversational phrases and with very good accent. He has also been really involved and looks forward to his lesson every week!
Lessons with Magali prior to sitting my GCSEs allowed myself to gain security in my linguistic skill, as well as the results I could get.
Not only has my grammar, vocabulary and accent improved, but my understanding of the Francophone communities around the world. You couldn't find a better tutor for a well rounded education in the French language.
Fenella, GCSEsWhen I first met Magali, I hadn't studied French for over 30 yrs but she assured me “You remember more than you realise.” As well as being an excellent teacher with a real talent for helping you understand, Magali is happy for you to work at your own pace and is endlessly patient (she had to be with a student as poor as me). With Magali's help and encouragement I saw a dramatic improvement in both my French and my confidence to use it. Did I also mention she's a lovely person? Merci beaucoup
Magali supported both my sons in preparation for their respective GCSE and AS exams. She always conducted herself with the utmost professionalism and was a pleasure to work with. Both boys found her easy to talk to and felt very comfortable experimenting with their French in her presence. She always managed their sessions with a relaxed but focussed approach and they both found these increased their confidence tremendously which no doubt assisted in their success. I highly recommend Magali.
My lessons with Magali are really enjoyable and I've already learnt a lot. She is extremely patient and encouraging as a teacher, which is great for my confidence. The lessons are varied, interesting and well structured and personalised towards my needs.
