Business-ready English, French & Spanish for professionals in Bath & Bristol — plus expert GCSE & A level tutoring for teenagers.
Forget dusty verb tables and endless repeat-after-me. I use a communicative approach, grounded in current research into how languages are actually learned — which, it turns out, is by using them. So in our lessons you’ll chat, listen, laugh, swap ideas and occasionally get it gloriously wrong (that’s how it sticks). Grammar and vocabulary arrive in context, exactly when you need them — not three chapters too early.
âś“ Speaking from the very first lesson
âś“ Real-life tasks and authentic materials
âś“ Clear goals and regular feedback
Lovely jubbly! Real British English, from someone who speaks it natively
Professional English for the moments that count: presentations, public speaking, job interviews and meetings. And just as importantly, how to thrive in British workplace culture — the small talk, the polite understatement, the art of disagreeing without saying “no”, and what “that’s an interesting idea” really means.
Former British Council teacher & examiner and International House Bristol teacher, with TOEIC exam experience — so you’ll sound confident, natural and unmistakably professional.
Parlez-vous français? By the end, you’ll say “oui” with confidence
Having lived in Bordeaux, I bring the real France into every lesson. Not just the grammar, but how the culture actually works: when to switch from vous to tu, how to greet colleagues (yes, la bise), the art of the long business lunch, and the unwritten social rules that help you fit in.
Whether you work with French-speaking clients, are relocating or preparing for exams, you’ll learn French as it’s really lived — with immersion built into every class.
¡Vamos! Let’s get you talking. Tapas optional, conversation essential
My love of Spanish was sparked in Sevilla — the colour, the warmth and the sheer joy of the language — and I bring that energy into every class.
Expect lively, practical lessons built around real conversation and culture, from social customs to doing business the Spanish way, with clear structure so you always know what you’re improving and why.
Flamenco shoes and guitar optional!
Most people don’t struggle because they lack vocabulary. They struggle because, in the moment that matters — the interview, the pitch, the client call — they can’t sound like themselves. As a former examiner, linguist and school leader, I know exactly what interviewers, assessors and audiences listen for. The Voice Method turns that into four clear stages.
A sharp assessment of how you come across today — through an examiner’s ear, not just a list of grammar mistakes.
The precise vocabulary, structures and phrases your real situation demands — nothing generic, nothing wasted.
We practise your actual interview, presentation, meeting or exam. Your material, not textbook role-plays.
Delivery, confidence and presence — so you sound like yourself, in another language.
Got a big moment coming up? Bring your real material — your CV, your slides, your next meeting agenda — and we’ll build your lessons around it.
Flexible, one-to-one coaching that fits around your working day — focused on the language your job actually demands.
Focused support from someone who has taught in secondary classrooms and knows what examiners look for.
I’m a native English speaker with French heritage, based in the Bath and Bristol area.
I’ve spent more than ten years teaching languages in schools, most recently as Deputy Head of a bilingual school, where I led teaching and learning across two languages and saw first-hand how children and families thrive when language learning is joyful and well structured. I’ve also taught at university level, as an English Linguistics Reader at UniversitĂ© Bordeaux Montaigne.
I hold a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages and a CELTA, so whether you’re learning English, French or Spanish, you’ll get lessons grounded in proven teaching methods — and tailored completely to you.
“I’m also a trained TV presenter, I host my own podcast, and as a school leader I regularly led training for teachers. That experience shapes how I coach public speaking: I know first-hand what it takes to hold a room or a camera — pace, pauses, body language, and staying composed when the nerves kick in. So when we prepare for your interview, pitch or presentation, we don’t just polish the language; we work on how you deliver it.”
