Children learn language primarily through playing games and singing songs suitable to the ages of the children in the class. Whilst most of my lessons are now online we still play lots of games and some of the most popular include Jacques a dit… (Simon says), Treasure Hunt, Jeopardy, Noughts and Crosses, board games, quizzes and guessing and memory games. Sometimes the children do role play and sometimes they will do some art and craft or a worksheet of some kind but every lesson always includes lots of playing and singing.  Classes available online after school or with HEET. If you prefer private lessons, then please contact me but there is currently a waiting list for after school slots.  See Fees and Times  

Angela is a super teacher. My 6yr old can’t wait for his online lessons and is totally absorbed the whole time. She pitches the lessons at just the right level of challenge and finds creative ways to keep the repetition that’s needed novel and fun. I’m so happy to see teaching that’s inspiring and motivating. We are lucky to have found her. Gillian Hammond, Summer 2023

Thank you for the great term! I love French lessons, they’re so fun! I can’t wait to see you all again in September!  HEET KS2/3 student, Summer 2023

Our son started lessons with Angela before covid when he was 3 years old at the local play gym. Unfortunately, Covid got in the way of them so we immediately started them online. Both my daughter and son do lessons with Angela once a week and it continues to amaze me with the knowledge that she has instilled in them both. We recently visited France and my daughter, now 11, was listening to people behind us in a queue and relaying some of what they were saying. Angela’s lessons are fun and our children have learnt so much. She manages to deliver the online lessons to an incredible standard. Thank you, Angela, we can't wait for next term.  Katie Govind, Summer 2023

Angela is absolutely fantastic. She has made lessons really fun and my daughter has learnt so much. She has gone from knowing a few French words to being able to form short sentences over the course of the year. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed these lessons and looks forward to them every week.  The format of the lessons are perfect. There are mixture of games, songs and activities that keep the children engaged and learning. Angela has managed extremely well to deliver these lessons online. It works extremely well.  Nadine George, HEET parent, May 2021

Our daughter was lucky enough to be taught by Angela from 3 years old in her nursery setting, she spoke about her lessons with great enthusiasm so when she moved onto school, we contacted Angela to continue with after school lessons and our daughter progressed very well.  When, unfortunately the pandemic hit, Angela moved very quickly online and our daughter continued her weekly lessons with very little disruption.  These online lessons are still to the high and very fun standard we grew to love from Angela.  Our daughter still comes away from her lessons with great enthusiasm and now at 8 years old is becoming very confident in French.  Thank you, Angela, we look forward to many more years of fun and learning.  Emma Lockwood, January 2021.

My son started French with Angela at nursery, then once he started school, he attended the Kidzplay classes and this summer attended one of the 3 hour summer workshops too.  The sessions are always fun and interactive with songs, games, cutting & sticking etc. so I don't think he realises he is learning and always enjoys the sessions. The French is definitely being absorbed though as he has quite a big vocabulary already and it's lovely to hear him singing French songs at home. Jo Davies   Autumn 2019

Angela has taught French to my 5 and 6 year old daughters for the past school year. They both very much enjoy attending the weekly sessions at Kidzplay. The lessons are interactive and fun, with lots of variety in each session from sampling French foods, arts and crafts and singing. 

 In order for them to retain the knowledge they had learnt in the year, we signed them up to the summer workshops which are 3-hour sessions. They proudly finished the workshops in good spirits, having made new friends, armed with posters they had made about France and certificates!

 They are both very happy to be joining the weekly classes again from September. Rebecca Honeybunn Summer 2019

Angela has taught my children since they were 3 and 6 years old and I have seen a noticeable improvement in both their French vocabulary and their enjoyment of learning the language.  Angela's lessons for young children are fun, varied and tailored to meet the children's needs.  The young children learn through playing games, singing and activities based on fun and engaging themes. She has a friendly, patient and encouraging manner and I highly recommend Angela as a French tutor.  Amy Lund, May 2018
