About Margot

I am a 56 year old French native, with over 30 years' experience in translation and teaching, some of which spent teaching in a Grammar school. Being not only a tutor but also a mother, I understand the examination requirements and pressures placed on students at the different stages of their progression through the English school system. I delight in helping my students overcome language barriers and enjoy their learning.

About the lesson

My aim is to help you become at ease with as much as possible of the French grammar, idioms and sounds required for success in the 13+, Common Entrance, Scholarship, GCSE, A-Level, IB, DELF or university entrance exams, guiding you through what is expected of you in each component of the exams, including dictation (dictée), conjugation, error-spotting, gap filling and grammar solving tasks. Sessions can also be booked for practice mock exams, where I will be happy to give you advice and go through mark schemes with you.

Perfect! My son has his French GCSE coming up very shortly, and needs lots of speaking practice! Margot quickly assessed my son's ability level, and managed to go straight in with focussed exam practice, which is exactly what he needed. She was totally prepared, and knew exactly what was on his syllabus, and what the exam structure would be. She has a very calm manner, and managed to take away the stress he was feeling. His exact words after his 2nd lesson were 'Margot is a lifesaver.'

Perfect! Margot is a great teacher.

We are a francophone family living in the UK with children who were previously in the French schooling system and are now in the English school system. Margot is able to tailor the lessons to challenge their more advanced level whilst simultaneously preparing them for the GCSE exam which they are doing as an additional subject without attending school classes.

She has a very kind approach to teaching which my son responds to very positively, as he undertakes his extra curricular classes with almost joy.

The in person lessons are really beneficial but having the option for an online lesson is also good.

As a native speaker, Margot showed deep knowledge of the exam requirements, the subject matter that needed to be covered, and what could be asked in the exam. Sessions were extremely focused and well led, including a mock speaking test.

Margot has an excellent, solid understanding of the syllabus and tailors the tutoring to the exam board. She is very patient and has the ability to keep the student calm and confident in their ability. Our son was very well prepared for his French speaking GCSE exam after 2 sessions and the teacher commented that he was the only student who asked a question as per the exam format. This is thanks to Margot.
