Regular tuition for GCSE exam preparation or one off sessions to work on a specific area. Lessons are tailored to the student’s needs and so could therefore focus on any of the four skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing or indeed a mix of all. Emphasis will also be placed on understanding French grammar and increasing French vocabulary as required by the relevant GCSE exam board and for the new style GCSE exam.
Just letting you know that I think my exam went really well. I completed everything. Thank you so much for teaching me these past three years, I have really enjoyed your wonderful lessons. Ellis Sebbage, IGCSE Student, May 2024
Raqeeb is very surprised and delighted to get a grade 7 in his IGCSE. Thank you so much for getting him along from a predicted 5 to a 7 since he only started French in Year 9!! Can’t thank you enough. Azhara Miller, Summer 2023
I want to thank you so very much for all the resources, tips and advice. My two papers went better than I could ever imagine. And I believe this is largely down to your help and patience. Thank you so very much. Josh Braithwaite, IGCSE student, June 2022
Overall, I'm feeling really happy about how it went. I'm really hoping for a grade 9, but I'd still be pleased with a grade 8. Thank you for teaching me these last couple of years. I remember the first lesson I had with you, where I couldn't even speak about basic things, like my pets or my house. I feel so much more confident in my French, and have enjoyed your lessons thoroughly throughout the year! I find your lessons are engaging and the constant repetition of the tenses and speaking elements really helped me improve. You were also always so quick in marking and responding to homework and extras, so thank you so much for your constant support.I'm really going to miss your lessons! Rowan Barton-Dibble, IGCSE student, June 2022. (Amended to add that Rowan achieved a grade 9)
Angela has provided William with structured support and positive feedback which always encouraged him to try hard. She is reliable and has inspired my son to work hard in his recent GCSE. The advice and targeted work has helped my son to do well with his French. I have no hesitancy in recommending her highly and thank her profusely for her patience and commitment. Katie McGoohan, Autumn 2018
Absolutely delighted with Angela who has guided my two oldest home-educated girls over the last 5 years through their IGCSEs from scratch! They both went from knowing no French to obtaining A* in their papers. Angela is patient and calm and keeps lessons interesting. I felt very confident that she prepared them well. My youngest is currently studying French with her and enjoying it. Chi-ann Rajah, Summer 2018
Angela has enabled my son to focus productively on his French and am sure has increased his grade. She has provided a realistic idea of the exam time tabling and structure. This has helped facilitate best use of the available time. She is extremely thorough, reliable, patient and effective and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Both my son and I can not thank her enough. My son achieved a B in his GCSE, before Angela became involved he lacked focus and direction and would not have passed French GCSE. Katie McGoohan, Summer 2016
My son aged 15 had not learned French at school for over 2 years and wanted to take the subject at GCSE. The lessons with Angela were invaluable and provided good support, help & understanding in the subject & were a big boost to help my son achieve a grade A in French this year. Salina Yildiz, Summer 2015
Angela’s tutor service is very good, affordable and when a student & family start to panic over a subject she brings calm and a positive, organised approach to get a result. Caroline Lewis-Jones, Summer 2015
My daughter was struggling with her French GCSE work and was getting herself to the point where she wanted to drop the subject entirely. I called in the help of Angela for lessons at home once a week. She was patient and explained things to my daughter in a way that my daughter could understand. We are now just waiting on her GCSE results and in time my daughter intends to carry on to A LEVEL.
This wouldn't have been the case if we'd not found Angela. Highly recommend tutor indeed. Sharon Roe, Summer 2014
