Suzy successfully helped my son go from a predicted grade of a D, to achieving a B in his French GCSE exam. Her support and assistance prior to verbal assessments was invaluable, and her expert knowledge gave him the confidence for speaking in French.

Suzy has tutored both my children for periods during the fast track French GCSE process at school. My oldest son was very demotivated, did not enjoy French at school and was ready to give up. Suzy really helped him get back on track and feel more confident and he did well in the GCSE. My younger son has been so enthused he thinks he will take French at A level! Suzy is entirely professional – reliable, flexible and approachable. I would definitely recommend her as a French tutor.
Joe says ‘Suzy was very helpful and encouraging and was a key factor in achieving my grade in French’.
Dan says ‘Suzy is really friendly and nice and really helps you with stuff you’re finding difficult’.

‘Suzy helped me realise my potential and thoroughly explore the language. She not only taught me French in context of the subjects I was learning in school and then college but helped me to adapt the language to every day use, and without her I would’ve struggled to speak confidently out of the classroom with native speakers. I have considered her more as a friend than a teacher over the years as she aided me in my French studies. I highly recommend Suzy to anybody: from school children wanting a few hours help with some course work to adults looking to exceed fast when learning French. Suzy is your top choice.’

My daughter Portia is now in Upper 5th at Brighton College. French was her weakest subject & she had lost confidence & focus. Suzy was recommended by a school mum & has been brilliant. She is friendly professional & most importantly has given my daughter confidence in the subject. My daughter is expected to achieve an A* in her GCSE & is even considering French as a Sixth Form option.
I am very happy to recommend Suzy who is a brilliant and effective language teacher.

Suzy helped my daughter with extra French tuition building up to her GCSE. Sophie really enjoyed her lessons and her confidence increased so much with the extra help. I would really recommend Suzy and am sure that Sophie’s success in her exam was boosted by the extra help and support that Suzy provided’

Suzy helped me greatly with my GCSE French speaking. She gave me a lot of confidence and gave me some great advice which I had not been given in class. It is important to practise French speaking 1-to-1 and Suzy was really helpful in this way!

My daughter was studying French at Dorothy Stringer school and following the ‘Fast Track’ option which meant she was due to take GCSE French at the end of Year 9 (2 years early). We felt that she would really benefit from some additional French lessons and so she started weekly one hour tuition classes with Suzy. The lessons were in the comfort of Suzy’s home, adapted to our daughter’s learning needs and helped give her confidence, particularly in spoken French as she had been quite shy about speaking. Suzy is a highly experienced teacher and knowledgeable about the GCSE curriculum demands . She was flexible and encouraging, giving support in the areas where it was needed. Our daughter enjoyed her extra lessons and she was over the moon when she achieved a Grade A at GCSE at the end of Year 9!I would thoroughly recommend Suzy as a French tutor .
My daughter was doing okay in her French GCSE classes, however it is not easy to learn a language solely in groups of 30+ a couple of times per week.Having one-to-one sessions with Suzy made a positive difference to all aspects of the learning process. Her lessons were a ‘game changer’; she is easy to get on with, experienced and up to date with the curriculum. Each session was valuable; the cumulative effect made for a rewarding experience and most importantly gavemy daughter confidence in her own ability. I have recommended Suzy to many in our position.
