Making the world smaller and your impact bigger
Ever wondered what it’s like to learn a language from someone who juggles words like a chef juggles ingredients?
Well, you’re in the right place!
With 36 years of translation experience, 24 years of living in English-speaking countries, and a Yorkshire husband who keeps my English rising as a proper Yorkshire pudding, I’m your go-to language guru.
Whether you’re just starting out or already chatting up a storm, I’ll meet you where you are. And trust me, we’ll get you to where you want to be – without the yawning!
Face-to-face sessions for those who like the personal touch
Online lessons for the digital nomads
Corporate training for the business-minded
Group classes for the social butterflies
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!)
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!
Quick check-in on previous learning (painless, I promise).
Basically, lots of stuff that'll make you forget you're studying.
All the things that'll have you saying "Really?" and "No way!"
But honestly, it won't really feel like homework (magic, right?)
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.
Let’s make learning English or French as enjoyable as a proper afternoon tea!
Our learning packages are tailored to your needs, whatever they may be.

Your place? Your work place? Ours? Whatever suits.

Elle ne disait jamais … que les femmes attendaient d’un homme qu’il soit travailleur, qu’il les aime et les respecte, parce que, … autant espérer une pluie d’or du cul d’un âne.
