I am a native French speaker from Paris with more than 15 years of teaching experience. I grew up in Paris, studied law and then moved to the UK, where I have lived for nearly 30 years.
I teach French at every level, from complete beginners to advanced students, and specialise in GCSE French following the British curriculum, helping students build their confidence, strengthen their language skills and achieve their best possible results.
I teach students in the UK and internationally, working with learners from different countries, backgrounds and age groups. Whether you are learning French for school, preparing for GCSE or A-Level exams, studying at an international school, or simply want to speak French with greater confidence, my lessons are tailored to your individual goals.
Every learner is different, which is why I adapt my teaching methods, resources and lessons to suit each student’s strengths, needs and learning style. I also have extensive experience supporting students with diverse learning needs, creating an inclusive and encouraging environment where every student can progress and achieve their full potential.

“I would highly recommend Laurence as a French teacher. Thanks to her guidance and support, I was able to achieve a high grade 9 (188/200 marks) in my GCSE exam. I’m very grateful for all the help she has given me, both in topics that I struggled in and further increasing my confidence in the ones that I was already strong in.”
“Laurence’s teaching is highly productive and enjoyable, leading me not only to receive a high grade, but to also enjoy the journey towards it.”
“At the same time I want to share with you the feedback and observations from Kaja‘s MOCKs and parent evening we had last week. She did extremely well in French to the point where her teacher said she had nothing to offer Kaja anymore in the class. Kaja became even a bit naughty and chatty in the class because she is bored..”
“I have checked with Kaja that maybe she needs to stop the classes with you to focus on school more but she said and I quote: ‘ absolutely not, Miss Laurence is the best in the world and I do not want to stop the classes’. Of course that makes me very happy, maybe not chatting in the classroom during lesson..”
“Her French teacher came up with a solution, they paired Kaja with another good student and they are looking at A Level papers to keep busy.”
“We are so grateful to Laurence! She taught my son French once a week for a year and a half in the run-up to his GCSEs, and the progress he made was incredible. The lessons were always engaging and enjoyable, and he actually looked forward to them each week.”
“Thanks to her support and encouragement, he went into the exam with real confidence and achieved the very top grade 9! We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Hi Laurence, Ruby scored full marks on translation, her teacher mentioned this really never happens so I think Ruby reached this amazing point in her French skills where she is starting to see proper concepts, not just words. Again, credit to you, I know how difficult it is to get to that stage.”
“Great teacher, my daughter went from a 5 to an 8. Laurence was extremely dedicated and hardworking and supported Sarah, she was punctual and organised the classes well, they covered every area thoroughly and it was great to work with her as a team and we never had any issues with anything.”
“She also has a great price and I highly recommend her, she is the best tutor I have ever come across for French.”
“Bonjour Madame, I forgot to tell you yesterday how the exams went. Reading great, understood everything very well! The listening definitely tried to trick you so I’m less sure about that one, but some vocabulary came up that we practised so thank you for your help.”
“I wanted to take a moment to thank you once again for the way you supported Eliana with her French GCSEs. When she started with you, she was feeling very low and unaccomplished in French. You took the time to understand the way she learns, you were firm but fair, dedicated and most importantly believed in her.”
“She is delighted with the outcome and that is a credit to you both. Thank you for making this journey move a little more smoothly — we really wouldn’t have been able to get through it without you.”
“Hi Laurence, I honestly can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me with French. There were times when I really struggled and doubted myself, but you always believed in me and pushed me to keep going, even when I wanted to give up.”
“Your patience, encouragement and constant support helped me reach my goal and achieve the best grade I could have hoped for. I’m genuinely so grateful to have had you as my teacher, and I would recommend you to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for believing in me and helping me realise what I was capable of.”
“Laurence was an amazing teacher, she supported me on my journey from a 5 to an 8 and encouraged me to always try my hardest. She was honestly so helpful and I couldn’t have done it without her!”
“Laurence helped me so much in French and achieved a very high 9 in my GCSE! I couldn't recommend her enough. She is very patient and understanding! If you need a French tutor use Laurence!”
“I just got my results and I am so happy to say that I got a 9 in French! I honestly cannot believe it and when I saw the grade, I instantly thought of you and your incredible teaching. I couldn’t thank you enough for the hard work and time spent on improving my French! This all goes to you. Thank you so much!!”
“Big day for us all today — the results have been very good and Kaja got her well deserved 9 in French.”
“Thank you again for finding her potential and igniting her passion but mostly, for making her work hard, not just rely on talent and luck. As a parent, that is the sort of teaching input and support I really appreciate.”
“My daughter was lucky to have such a kind, warm, and patient French teacher in Laurence. With her supportive guidance and encouragement, my daughter not only grew in confidence but also achieved a fantastic Grade 8 in her French GCSE. We are so grateful for her dedication and care.”
“I just got my GCSE results and I got a grade 8 in French but I was one mark off a 9. Thank you very much for teaching me so well, it helped me to achieve this.”
“You are a miracle worker!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Laurence, I wanted to let you know that I got a 9 in French!!! 🇫🇷”
“Thank you so much Laurence for all your brilliant teaching. We are delighted with Rosie’s grade 9 in French! Thank you!”
“Thank you so much Laurence for all your teaching! Rosie got her 9 in French! She did remarkably well in all her GCSEs. So happy household here!”
“Hope you are well. Dylan told me he already messaged you but huge thanks from me Laurence. You were amazing anyway but for Dylan to get a 9 is amazing. So grateful to you 🙏😊”
“She just came out of school. French 8!!! She couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you!!!!”
“I just got my grades back in, and I got an 8 as my final grade! Thank you for all your help x”
“He got an 8!!!! Thank you so much for everything you did xx”
“I just wanted to let you know that Victor received his GCSE French mock result today and he achieved a grade 9!! Thank you so much for all of the work that you have done with him. It’s such a confidence boost for him.”
“Victor had his French speaking exam today and afterwards his French teacher said she was very impressed and wants to use his as an example (she recorded it). Thanks so much for all of your help and support for this.”
“Hi Laurence, Josh had his French speaking exam today and afterwards his French teacher said she was very impressed and wants to use him as an example (she recorded it). Thanks so much for all your help and support for this. Have a great week”
