About Me
Bonjour ! My name is Samy. I hold a MA in French for Foreigners.
I teach younger students (IGCSE/A-Level), as well as adult learners.
A native French speaker, my accent is very standard, as spoken in Paris - which helps my students with Listening exams.
As a qualified teacher (QTS), I am very familiar with IGCSE/A-Level exam specifications, and I have helped many students reach excellent results (9/A* standards) at the City of London School for Boys ('14th Best School in the UK for A-Level' - Best-Schools.co.uk).
I am also experienced tutoring IB French B (HL/SL) with my international school students reaching 6/7 grades.
*How does it work?*
Before each lesson, I will let you know what we will cover.
At the beginning of each lesson, we will revise what we have covered before, so that you don't forget when life gets in the way.
At the end of each lesson, we will make plans on what to cover next.
I am very patient and encouraging. I want to build confidence.
However, I also like to challenge you to reach your best.
I do think confidence and motivation are key to the hard task that is learning a language, so I like to focus on your personal interests and identify your learning style, in order to keep your motivation alive.
I am very much focused on your short term/long term objectives. I want the language to stick, and help you reach your goals.
First session
In the first lesson, you can get a taste of my teaching style and see if that suits your needs. I can assess your level, and focus on improving the weak components, as well as using your strengths, in order to build confidence.
I will adapt to your needs.

Lorna - French
Great French teacher. really helped with exam technique and boost my skills as a GCSE student. Would 100% recommend to all levels of French students!
T - French
I am so pleased we found Samy! His expertise and knowledge of the IGCSE syllabus and examination papers has been invaluable, he knows exactly what to focus on to secure a top grade. Samy has tutored my daughter in the months leading up to her IGCSE and she is confident she has secured a top grade as a result of his help. Her teacher at school is not a native French speaker so Samy's help with pronounciation has been very useful. I have already booked with Samy to continue tutoring my daughter through A Level next year. Excellent tutor!

c'est tres bien
Samuel - French
I cannot recommend Samy enough! He is an adaptable, patient, articulate and engaging teacher. He accommodated to my IB Diploma program needs and prepared me on such short notice for my exams. He elevated my conjugation, tense and general writing skills to a level I did not believe I was able to attain without his assistance. He taught writing techniques that even my school's French coordinator did not teach. Through his tutoring, I am now well-equipped with the necessary skills to confidently perform on my examinations. Initially, I was sitting on a predicted level 3 but through these lessons, I can say with ease I can attain a maximum level 6-7. I wish I had found Samy earlier :)

I would recommend Samy highly."
J., mother of an A level French student
"We hired Samy after trying two other tutors. He knows the IGCSE syllabus, was a fluent native speaker, was able to push my daughter academically, improved her use of the French language and her confidence. She was sitting IGCSE French 1 year early.
She got a 9.
Thank you Samy (my son is next)"
