I began lessons with Garance to revive my old GCSE level French (15 years on), so that I could use it on my French holidays. I have since gone above and beyond my original expectations. Garance has helped me to develop a far greater depth of understanding than I had as a child, even learning about grammar, which I was never taught in school. Garance teaches in a way that is structured but fun. She adjusts the pace to fit with your abilities and needs. Garance is friendly and puts you at ease. We have had many laughs in our lessons and the atmosphere is always one that makes you enjoy learning. I would highly recommend Garance's tutoring to others.

I really enjoyed studying French with Garance. She is a very friendly and encouraging tutor who makes chatting in French interesting and fun. She also likes you to learn structure and grammar so that you can build your French skills. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to brush up on their French as she is very professional.

Here is a testimonial from a student I prepared for A-levels in 2014: "In my final year of A-levels, Garance tutored me for several months in preparation for my French speaking A-level exams. I retook the speaking exam from year 12 and was also taking the year 13 speaking exam. I honestly cannot recommend Garance highly enough, she worked so hard to help me and it massively paid off. For the year 13 exam, each student had to choose a social issue to debate; I chose a particularly difficult topic being the use of stem cells in research. Knowing little of the subject, Garance went to a lot of effort to learn it in full detail to be able to practice debates with me, she found material for me to use for revision, and helped me perfect my argument. My French speaking, originally being my poorest area of the language became the best area and simultaneously my listening skills improved. My accent greatly improved, I stopped hesitating, and I spoke with correct grammar which I still understand now for writing. When it came to the actual exams, I got A grades in both the resit (whereas the year before I received a D grade) and the year 13 exam. I preferred my sessions with Garance than my lessons at college, and she motivated me so much that I now study French and Italian at the University of Manchester, something I would never have been able to achieve without her help.
