About Margaret
Across seventeen years of tutoring I have taught 880 students French, the majority preparing for demanding examinations or professional fluency requirements. My own fluency developed through extended academic study combined with years of professional work across French speaking regions. I am known among long-term students for being extremely thorough, though I balance that rigor with genuine warmth and real investment in each student's confidence and well-being. I specialize particularly in students aiming for high stakes exams or professional certification, where precision and technique often matter as much as general fluency. Many former students still contact me years later with updates about their careers and continued use of French.

After seventeen years teaching French, my method is highly systematic, built around detailed diagnostic testing at the very start of every tutoring relationship to pinpoint exact gaps rather than guessing at weaknesses. Topics are organised into a mapped sequence, showing students explicitly how one grammatical concept feeds into the next, which helps advanced learners see coherence across the entire curriculum. For exam preparation I rely heavily on timed practice combined with detailed error analysis, categorising mistakes as conceptual, careless, or time pressure related, since each demands a different fix. I maintain a long term tracking spreadsheet for every student, logging performance across topics over months to catch slow developing weaknesses early.
