About Valerie D
I was born in France, near Paris, and have learned English as a second language first in England then in Australia. I have since learned other languages too and fully appreciate the process of language learning. I have had many years of experience in working with languages, mostly French and English, but what I enjoy the most is enabling others to develop the confidence to speak in their chosen language, understand it and enjoy it!

I believe in using the language, even if feeling it sounds a bit “rough” as often as possible, listening to music with French lyrics, the news, movies and developing those connections right from the beginning. Lessons vary from 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the student’s age. I have taught, tutored, translated, interpreted and loved using the French language to communicate with like-minded people. As a linguist, I can adapt to my student’s learning style and cater for all ages.

Valerie has been teaching my children for a while. We really appreciate her warm, friendly manner. She is very patient with my children (aged 7, 14 & 16) and makes sure every lesson is engaging and fun.
No two lessons are the same with lots of different activities each week. We can already see an improvement in their French conversation skills and the kids look forward to their lessons. It’s so nice to hear the children practicing French together.
Having a teacher that is from France, I have noticed the children’s accents sound very authentic.
We would highly recommend Mrs Valerie if you want your children to have fun and learn French. Merci beaucoup Valerie!Valerie has been a very great teacher from day 1. We started from ground 0 with French, yet she's always patient throughout the lessons. We will get materials beforehand that allow us to have an understanding of what the lesson is going to be about and she will teach in various ways such as through songs, videos/short movies, etc. The lessons were never boring! Although we had to stop learning at some point due to our circumstances, the some of the lessons she gave still stuck in my head to this day-proving that she's been a great teacher
Valerie is a great teacher. My husband is French but it does not mean he can teach me French. Valerie has a very structured and organized way of giving materials beforehand, so we know what to expect and be prepared. Now I understand French much better, even though I had to stop my course due to my circumstances
