Tuteur/évaluateur de français expérimenté et pleinement qualifié propose des cours aux apprenants de tous âges et de tous niveaux dans le secteur de Catterick Garrison

I took regular French lessons with Solenne in 2019. I was a fluent French speaker at school but was out of practice and needed to update my vocabulary to include current affairs and military vocabulary.
Solenne designed a bespoke programme of study for me incorporating all of the above and more. She was incredibly patient and supportive throughout my study and I loved our lessons!

Solenne is an expert tutor, who offers an abundance of resources and support for her students. She has taught me French since September 2025, and her expanse of knowledge across languages, cultures, and histories means the lessons are always thought-provoking and dynamic. Her insights and expertise are particularly helpful in preparing adult learners to converse and write in the language (I started with the very basics!), and for anyone completing A-Level or University-level French. Every week I feel I am making strong progress, and I always look forward to the lessons. Thank you Solenne! Merci beaucoup!

Solenne is an excellent and highly professional tutor. She tailors her approach to the level, needs and goals of the student. Solenne uses both traditional exercises and real-world examples (video clips, articles, extracts from larger texts and films) to help students gain experience and confidence.

We have been very fortunate to have Solenne as my daughter's French tutor for almost two years now. The fact that we have been trusting her with M's tuition for so long speaks for itself and is a testament to the great experience we have had with Solenne. She is a well-organized and highly effective tutor, always identifying clear learning goals together with a student and mapping out a consistent learning path to achieve those. While being very kind and personable, she is also demanding and disciplined (although never intimidating). My daughter loves her classes, and her French has improved markedly since she started learning with Solenne. Solenne assisted her when preparing for her DELF B2 exam (which she has passed successfully) and is now supporting her with her IB Higher Level French. We highly recommend Solenne as a wonderful tutor and a great human being.

When I retired from teaching French to A level and for business, it was very important to me to maintain my spoken fluency. As a teacher myself, I have firm opinions about what makes a good teacher. Solenne fits the bill in every way. She is highly professional, meticulous in her preparation and flexible in her approach. She provides up to date materials and always responds positively to my requests for deeper discussion of specific topics. We have been working together for seven years and I have no hesitation in recommending her to students of all levels.

My daughter has had weekly on line tuition from Solenne for her A level French for 8 months. Solenne has been an excellent communicator both with my daughter and myself. She listened to my daughters needs and responded with excellent resources and support. We are very grateful for her help and brilliant tuition.

I have been enjoying on line french lessons with Solenne since October last year. I am an adult learner who had not studied French since doing an O level 50 years ago. I particularly wanted to work on my listening and speaking skills as in my day we never really got to try speaking the language.
I look forward to my lessons with Solenne. She is very friendly and supportive and I feel that she works really hard to help me learn. She has provided excellent learning resources and gives me homework each session which I find very useful. She gives me plenty of chance to improve my speaking through conversation whilst also ensuring that I learn new things and revise things I have long forgotten.
I would recommend Solenne to anyone looking for a French teacher as my experience with her suggests that she will work hard to tailor her teaching to your particular needs.

Solenne has been my French tutor for over 5 years. My objective in starting French lessons was to improve my conversational skills and my comprehension of both the written and spoken language but in particular the latter. Solenne’s approach has been varied and stimulating. She has used different techniques eg:
- watching short news/information films and completing comprehension exercises both spoken and written;
- lessons covering aspects of grammar;
- conversation addressing a wide range of topics;
- studying articles from newspapers and magazines and discussing their content.
The lessons challenge me but enable me to see that progress is being made. Most of all they are enjoyable and never a chore.
Solenne is adaptable in her approach and listens to me as her student to ensure that the lessons fulfill my needs. I would recommend her as a tutor.
