My husband and I heard about Aurelie, word-to-mouth, by relatives. Having learned a bit of Italian together before, we wanted to learn French as a hobby, to travel and because French gastronomy! Aurelie didn’t disappoint. On the contrary, she went beyond our expectations ! It has been a wonderful cultural journey ! We particularly love the focus on speaking skills and culture, and how she can make French grammar easy to understand and fun to practice through conversation. Who would have thought that French grammar could be easy and fun ?

Aurelie tutored me in IB French SL. She is very experienced in teaching French and Aurelie makes understanding the complicated grammar easy. She is also an expert at the IB curriculum, which was invaluable in helping me prepare for my speaking and writing exams. Aurelie clearly puts a lot of effort into preparing the lesson and is completely dedicated to making sure you do well. She is all round an amazing tutor who brings energy and positivity to every lesson to make learning French enjoyable and not just a chore. Thanks to her incredible help I was able to get the top mark of 7 in IB French. I am very grateful to her and recommend her tutoring wholeheartedly.

Aurelie has been teaching me French for 13 years now, and is easily the best teacher I’ve ever had. Not only is she incredibly enthusiastic, passionate and knowledgeable about French language and culture, but she is deeply invested in my success in French. Aurelie has a wonderful ability to make the French language accessible, fun and engaging. She knows both the HSC and DELF exams inside out. I sincerely recommend her to anyone interested in French!

As a beginner, back in 2015, I enrolled in different courses. I was struggling and felt I was wasting my time and money. I was constantly thinking in English and translating into “approximate” French. My brain kept freezing every time I had to speak. I couldn’t find my words and felt increasingly dumb not being able to retain French and to use it properly… A work colleague told me she knew an amazing French teacher who helped her successfully pass the DELF B1, and also tutored her son through to the end of his final high school year (he aced his French continuers and French Extension exams !) I decided to give it a try and, 5 years later, I lived in Paris and I felt at ease in society.

Aurelie is an absolutely wonderful teacher. She goes above and beyond to tailor her classes to suit your needs, interests and abilities. She has many excellent pedagogical tricks in her toolbox to help with confidence, clarity and progress. She is a pleasure to learn with, and I always look forward to our class – even if I might not have finished all my homework / practice! Very supportive and encouraging when the self-doubt creeps in. Highly recommend Aurelie to help you with your French language journey!
