Sarah tutored both my daughters through their GCSE French courses. They were both lacking in confidence and under-performing until they met Sarah and they both went on to achieve A grades under her supervision.
JN (parent of young student)September 2016 I took French up as a hobby, as my husband and I holiday in France most years. In all honesty I thought the novelty of studying again was going to wear off rather quickly, but months on I have moved my fortnightly lessons to weekly sessions as I enjoy it so much!
FT (Adult French for Leisure student)November 2014 Sarah's tuition helped my older son to top distinction grades in GCSE and A-level.
I am sure that with her help my 10-year-old will get equally good results. They both loved their weekly sessions with Sarah.
MP (parent of young student)November 2021 I am a working professional with a base level of French and I was required to brush up on my French language skills for a new job requirement.
Sarah was a great resource for helping me practice my conversational French and also in finding materials and resources that were relevant to my job in finance.
CB (French for Business student)March 2024 Sarah is a charming, extremely effective French tutor and she was the first person able to make French interesting for our daughter who was sitting iGCSE. She engaged immediately with my daughter and gave her the confidence to speak French, turning what had been a painful, anxiety-inducing experience into something enjoyable.
PW (parent of young student)September 2014 I have been working with Sarah for many years to gain fluency in my French speaking.
I have family and friends in France so this was important, and after beginning from scratch I can now engage in serious debates, read French novels, and my regular lessons with Sarah involve creative writing sessions as well as general conversation.
JI (Adult French for Leisure student)February 2024 Thank you for the time and energy you invested in translating these pages into English. As I read this version I recognised my soul, while also enjoying your style.
CJ (Translation client)January 2014 Sarah supported my daughter in the preparatory journey towards A levels. They clearly established a very nice relationship and my daughter was inspired and motivated by her lessons. Sarah is passionate about the subject and clearly able to make a true connection with her students.
SB (parent of young student)September 2019 Sarah is teaching French to me and my colleague (European Finance Director) with a view to us improving communication with our office in Paris.
Her lesson planning has been well structured throughout, and we are progressing in a thought out and understandable way. Imminent meeting at the Paris office and feeling prepared and confident!
BW (French for Business student)March 2014 Sarah gave my 15-year-old son intensive tuition prior to sitting his French GCSE. We had been living overseas and he had only been studying the language for a year. Sarah gave him excellent guidance on exam technique.
Her calm approach helped to ease many of his anxieties prior to sitting the oral section of the paper. He got an A*!
BS (parent of young student)October 2015 Sarah tutored my son for GSCE French. He enjoyed the lessons and achieved a grade that his teachers never believed possible. When my daughter needed help I had no hesitation in contacting Sarah again.
Good grades and happy, confident children.
ND (parent of young student)August 2016 Heartfelt thanks to Sarah Walker for her precious search and editorial assistance.
MR (Translation client)March 2022 Sarah has been teaching my son for a year now. He had no interest in the subject at school. She turned around his performance at school with great grades and feedback from his teacher.
KW (parent of young student)August 2018 We asked Sarah to help prepare our son for his GCSE French exam as he had lost his motivation and this was being reflected in his grades. Sarah changed all that. She is an excellent teacher with seemingly endless energy and enthusiasm for her subject.
She has a positive and supportive approach which immediately engaged our son, helping him to progress from the predicted poor grade based on the assessments he had already done to his final B grade - all in a very short space of time.
CR (parent of young student)September 2014 Sarah is very friendly, professional and dedicated - I've really enjoyed my lessons with her. She also provided significant learning materials for me to utilise outside of lessons, as well as recommendations for further reading. My French is continually improving!
