French Exam Testimonials

I studied with Jane for 2 1/2 years and did French GCSE outside school hours. I got an A and was just 1 UMS off an A* which is less than a mark. This was very frustrating! Nevertheless, I feel so confident with French and still love the language and loved being taught by you. Thank you for all your hard work.

Mia (GCSE), Knutsford

Jane was really helpful in the lead up to my French GCSE. She helped me to widen my vocab and improved my listening skills lots – she really gave me the confidence to achieve my A*, 5 marks under full marks! Thanks, Jane!

“With Jane’s help, I was able to undertake my French AS-Level studies with confidence, and was really pleased with the results ‘A’, especially the 100% that I achieved in the oral exam. Without Jane’s help I would never have achieved my A* grade and got into Cambridge university.” Many thanks Jane!

Rachael (GCSE & A2), Knutsford

Jane gave me the confidence and support to achieve the highest possible marks in the written and listening sections achieving A grade in A’ level French. The grammar consolidation was really useful and she prepared me very well for all sections of the exam. I would not have been so successful without Jane’s help.

Hannah (A2 level), Knutsford

You really cleared up a lot of the grammar for me, which really helped me to achieve a B grade.

Jane has worked hard with our son on his GCSE work, preparing him fully for all aspects of the course and setting appropriate homework. Her style of teaching helped him understand the structure of the language and extend his vocabulary, giving him the confidence to speak more coherently, write with increasing accuracy and listen to the spoken word with greater comprehension. Consequently he achieved a high grade (A*). I would highly recommend Jane’s services to any child who needs help with their French.

Parent of Alex (GCSE), Knutsford

There is little doubt in my mind that without the expert teaching and guidance of Jane I would probably not have achieved the A* that I did. Jane has been an extremely helpful tutor and has improved my knowledge greatly. I am carrying on to do AS with her.

Laurie (GCSE), Knutsford

Thank you for all the work you have done with Ciaran, he would never have achieved a B in his French without you and I am very impressed that he achieved an A in his speaking. Before he started with you I think he was on for a U. I think the confidence you gave him also helped him to focus on his studies in general and for him to realise he had to start working.

Parent of Ciaran (GCSE), Knutsford

Jane is really committed to her pupils and helped me all the way through my GCSE’s with a well-structured programme which suited me well. I had tutoring from her for nearly three years and started off with no understanding of French. I ended up with an A* in French with 100% in three out of four units. Jane knows the GCSE course well and therefore gave me vocabulary to learn which proved incredibly helpful to me. I would really recommend her as a teacher.

Hannah (GCSE), Knutsford

Katie enjoyed her French lessons with you, you gave her confidence in the subject, your knowledge of the syllabus, your enthusiasm for teaching the subject and for gaining the best out of your students is absolutely amazing. Having had one child study with you I knew that Katie would be in good hands and I never doubted that she would do well with you, achieving A* was excellent.

Parent of Katie (GCSE), Knutsford

Both my daughters have been tutored by Jane for the last couple of years. Alex was studying for her GCSE’s and in August achieved an excellent ‘A’ in French. Alex, whilst a very capable student needed the discipline and structure that Jane provided, to maximise her potential. Jane without doubt improved the grade Alex achieved.

Our other daughter Kirsty, needed different support. Kirsty was just starting at high school and was anxious that she had not studied French at primary school. Within months she was achieving excellent results and is now in the top set for French.
