What makes this tutoring different?

Forget classrooms and grammar drills. This is language learning that feels like a friendly conversation with a cultural twist. Your tutor has travelled extensively through France and Spain, and can share phrases, accents and idioms you won’t find in a text book or through traditional tutoring.

From everyday conversation to confidence in pronunciation, each lesson is shaped around real-world speaking and listening, perfect for adult learners, students, retirees and anyone who’s ever said “I wish I’d kept it up!”.

Meet your tutor: Heidi

I hold a Master's in French Literature and postgraduate credits in Spanish, but what really shapes my teaching is the time I spent living in France, Spain and Quebec, picking up the phrases, rhythms and cultural nuances that no textbook covers.

What People Are Saying

“I took French in high school and have only recently retired. I told myself I would pick it up again when I had the time. I have now completed 4 of the 10 lessons. It’s been easy to organise the lessons as Heidi is super flexible. I am excited to keep going with my French studies and I am understanding more and more.”

— N. Fugina, Texas, USA

“I absolutely loved Heidi’s way of teaching. I took 10 weeks of tutoring to rebuild my confidence and get my French back to the level I needed before travelling to France for a work secondment.

Heidi’s approach is incredibly flexible and tailored to what you actually need, which made every lesson feel useful, practical and enjoyable. Her support has been invaluable for my trip, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

— Valerie H, Jacksonville Beach, FL, USA

"I booked 5 lessons with Heidi to improve my Spanish as I was going on a ski trip to Argentina with friends. I’m based in France and Heidi was really accommodating my time zone and it was really early for her! We used Google Meet for our lessons and I am now back from my trip and it went really well as I was the only Spanish speaker. I am going to have another 5 lessons as we are returning next summer to Chile for more skiing."

— J.C. Gilli, student, St. Raphael, France
