Mission & Goals 

Our aim is to support francophone  students aged 6-17  worldwide in their journey with French language skills 


Welcome! 

I am Margot, a native French Teacher originally from Nantes, France.  

I started my career as French teacher in London in 2006 where I taught in primary and secondary schools  before setting up a French Saturday school for bilingual children in 2016.  

Since 2014, I have been specialising in supporting international/ French speaking students with their French language skills via tailored programmes ,  with face to face classes and now online. 

 I have extensive experience teaching the French Primary Curriculum (CP-CM2) ,  collège programme (6eme-3eme) and IB French  (MYP, DP ). 

I understand the challenges of expat families and the difficulties you can encounter around the maintenance of mother tongue language.

That's where I come in!  

7 things to know:  
  1. Our classes take place on Google Meet,  weekdays between 1-6pm or weekends (UK Time Zone) 
  2. Lessons are always tailored to the student's level , needs and objectives. Lesson time is usually 50min. 

  3. I teach in a caring but studious atmosphere  to make sure progress is ongoing. 

  4. Lessons are available one to one or in small groups of 4 students maximum.
  5.  Lessons are available per term only (block of 10 or 12 classes). Prices start at 10€/hr for small groups or 30€ for individual lessons. If you book for the whole school year upfront (30 weeks/lessons you will benefit from a 15% discount) 
  6. I am passionate about languages and culture :) 
  7.  I have the success of my students at heart!

What our parents and students say: 


Mary, head of Language Consultancy, London 

Margot began working with us when we started in 2013 as a French teacher in new London IBMYP school, She taught mother tongue French on a one-to-one basis, For the past few years she has been working with us, but teaching entirely online on a one-to-one or small group basis - she continues to teach French mother tongue to native speakers studying in international schools, and whose parents want them to maintain and develop their French for a return to the French system, or for entry into the IB SSST French Literature A programme. She is a valued colleague, caring and popular with her students, We value her on the team!

Louise, Dublin 
Margot has been teaching my son (now 6) for 5 months in online classes.

 She tested his level of French at the outset to identify the appropriate level for him.  She takes the children through various exercises orally and on paper that develop their understanding of sounds - I find this also helps develop and recall vocabulary.

   She also challenges their listening skills with little stories and questions.  She is clearly accustomed to working with small children and will direct their attention as necessary.

 We find the classes very useful and my son is happy to (virtually) attend.

'I have been a student of Margot since 2021 and it is thanks to her that I have managed to get my French back up to a reasonable level after many years of not using or speaking French at all. Margot is a warm and empathetic teacher and our classes are always enjoyable. She explains and answers everything very clearly, and corrects my mistakes in a way that I learn without losing confidence. She also seeks out topics and texts for discussion according to my interests, which I very much appreciate. I highly recommend Margot - exceptionelle! 
Leopold , IB student, Singapore 

I have been taking lessons with Margot for the academic year 2023-24.  My starting level was about 4ème in the French Curriculum, and I have now attained 3ème level. We cover all aspects of the French language and culture: grammar, syntax, lexicon, topics and culture. We practice different activities and skills at every lesson. I am now in Grade 10 and I am confident to take French language A for my diploma. I highly recommend Margot for lessons
