About

IB & IGCSE French Specialist | DELF Examiner | 15+ Years International Teaching Experience.

Experienced French, Spanish & Language Acquisition Tutor | IB, IGCSE & DELF Examiner

I am an experienced language educator with over 14 years of international teaching experience across British, American, and International curricula. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English and French Literature and a Master's Degree in Linguistics, and I am fluent in five languages.

Since 2012, I have taught in Morocco, France, and the United Arab Emirates, working with students of diverse backgrounds and abilities. I currently teach French and Spanish across the IB and IGCSE programmes and serve as an examiner for both international qualifications as well as the DELF examinations through L'Alliance Française.

As a Head of Languages and curriculum leader, I have extensive experience designing engaging lessons, preparing students for external examinations, and helping learners build confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I specialise in supporting students in IB MYP, DP French B (SL and HL), Language Acquisition courses, IGCSE French, and DELF preparation.

My teaching approach is personalised, supportive, and results-oriented. I adapt lessons to each student's needs, whether they require exam preparation, language reinforcement, conversation practice, homework support, or accelerated learning. I am passionate about helping students develop strong language skills while fostering a genuine appreciation for different cultures and languages.

Services offered: • IB French and Spanish (MYP and Diploma Programme) • IGCSE French and Spanish • DELF preparation • Language acquisition and conversation practice • Exam preparation and revision strategies • Homework support and study skills • Online and face-to-face tutoring

I believe every student can succeed with the right guidance, structure, and encouragement, and I strive to create a positive learning environment where students feel motivated to achieve their full potential
