Specialising in adult language learning
Ever wondered what it’s like to learn a language from someone who juggles words like a chef juggles ingredients?

🎲 Learning Should Be Fun!
Who said you can’t learn English while playing Battleships, or master French through miming charades, or even hunting for treasure in a vocabulary quest?
My classes are where serious learning meets playful engagement.
(Yes, we might use Story Cubes, and no, I won’t apologize for making you enjoy grammar!)
🌍 Real-World Experience
After two decades of living in Ireland and England (and being married to a proper Yorkshire lad), plus my roots in the château-studded Loire Valley, I don’t just teach English and French – I bring you the culture, the quirks, and all those little things that textbooks forget to mention.
Want to know how to order coffee in Chester without looking like a lost tourist? Or how to find the best guinguette and ask for a cool glass of Muscadet or Rosé d’Anjou?
I’ve got you covered!
What to Expect in my Sessions

Every lesson is crafted with three key ingredients:
the proof of the pudding...
From Yorkshire pudding to tarte Tatin, whether you’re aiming to nail that business presentation, navigate French dinner party etiquette, or just want to understand British humour (it’s an art form, really), I’m here to guide you through your language journey with patience, enthusiasm, and the best of Yorkshire grit or French finesse thrown in for good measure.
