Originally from Oxford, I have been teaching English in Paris for fourteen years. I hold the Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults), the highest professional qualification in the field, and I have taught at some of Paris's most prestigious language schools and corporate training centres.
My speciality is exam preparation: IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge FCE, CAE, and CPE. Over the years, I have helped hundreds of students achieve the scores they need for university admission, visa applications, and career advancement. My approach is methodical: I analyse each student's strengths and weaknesses, then design a targeted programme that addresses their specific gaps.
Beyond exam prep, I am equally passionate about helping professionals improve their business English. I have worked with executives from CAC 40 companies, diplomats, and entrepreneurs, helping them communicate with confidence in international settings.
What sets me apart is my deep understanding of French speakers' challenges with English. After fourteen years in France, I know exactly where the pronunciation pitfalls lie, which grammar structures cause the most confusion, and how to build fluency step by step.
