About Catherine Cormier

Have you ever fantasised about being able to surprise your friends and family by speaking a new language? Have you ever desperately tried and failed to communicate with the hotel waiter on holiday, wishing you’d paid more attention during your French lessons? You need the help of a patient, qualified and experienced French tutor with a deep knowledge of the language and a talent for teaching others. That’s where I come in. I am a fully qualified private French tutor with 15 years of experience and I have CE, QTS and DBS certificates. I teach all levels and abilities, and have taught hundreds of different students at a variety of different stages on their journey to becoming bilingual. As a native speaker, I am intimately familiar with every aspect of this beautiful language, and as an experienced teacher, I am excellent at explaining it to others. Whether you have a son or daughter trying to pass her GCSE exams, or you are a complete beginner and want to learn the basics, or speak a bit of French and want to take the final steps to fluency, then I can help. I am easy-going and personable, so our lessons will be extremely useful but also very enjoyable and fun. I always tailor my lessons according to the individual ability and learning style of each student. Our sessions will be a judgment-free safe space, and I am a patient and understanding teacher, so no matter your ability, you will always feel 100 per cent comfortable and confident trying the language and exploring your speaking and listening abilities. I am happy to teach on a one-to-one basis, or on Skype. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a more detailed chat or to arrange a booking.
