About Catherine
I am French and British now too, as I have been given the British nationality 3 years ago after having lived for 36 years over here.
I became a teacher of French after the birth of my second child and have been teaching since in a variety of settings: schools, adult education, privately and correcting exams (AQA French AS from 2003 to 2006 and now GCSE's since 2020).
I started teaching only privately since Covid and this is my favourite way of teaching since I can concentrate on one person and assist them in developing fully their potential. As a teacher, it is extremely rewarding.
I am kind, patient and professional. My lessons are carefully prepared and you get as much feedback as needed.

Students tell me where they are at and what they want to achieve and why. If they started learning French with me, I assess them naturally, through conversation and little questions (not scary at all! I make mistakes too)
Students tell me if they have specific objectives and we set to achieve them. They tell me how they learn best and I may help them to discover new ones if they wish to.
Usually, we learn an average of 8-10 words per lesson well, revise others, get familiar with new ones to memorise optimally.

I've been a pupil of Catherine's for nearly two years. I have a French company as a client and need to keep my spoken French up to scratch. Our lessons are essentially a half-hour weekly conversation. We cover general news, my business (in the automotive industry) and what's going on in our lives.
Catherine is a patient and intuitive tutor. She puts up uncomplainingly with my repeated mistakes (!) and offers suggestions on how I might improve the way I say things to sound more French.
Initially classes were fortnightly face to face, now they're weekly online which actually works better for me: less intense, more frequent and no travel time. If you're looking for a tutor to improve your spoken French, she's the teacher for you.Catherine is a proffesional, fun tutor. Always flexible and will tailor your lessons to what you want, be it syllabus based or more informal style lesons. Would definitely recommend.
My daughter Lola (who is 14) had been learning French for a couple of years and had a French tutor for about a year before we changed to Catherine. Catherine has been teaching her for the last 6 months or so. We hope that Lola can take her GCSE a year early. Lola is really enjoying her lessons with Catherine - she actually looks forward to them! She said Catherine is a really good teacher - she explains things really well, keeps lessons interesting and she finds her really easy to approach if she doesn't understand anything. We would definitely recommend Catherine to students who are thinking about learning with a tutor.
I have been Catherine's colleague for 6 years. She is extremely dedicated and always ensures she gets the best out of her students. She creates a relaxed and calm atmosphere and delivers well planned, individualised lessons. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.
Catherine Cormier has prepared some of our students for the French GCSE examination. She also works with small groups of students who she supports with French but also with students who need more challenging work. Her teaching methods are efficient and she has managed to create positive relationships with her students . She is equally efficient with individual students as she is with small groups. She has been a French tutor for many years and her experience is a huge benefit to her students. I very highly recommend her to you.
Catherine is a most reliable and professional teacher who has worked with us for over 8 years . She is always punctual and thorough with her teaching methodology and her approach t her students . She ensures they make good progress and her results for external exams also reflect her high expectations and standards.
She is also a very patient teacher who has the best interest of her students what ever level at heart and differentiates work to allow them to access it and succeed . Catherine has been fully involved in all aspects of school life and is a team player and supporter . I would highly recommend her for the tutoring role .Catherine is an excellent French teacher. She works extremely well on students' progress and how to develop their learning strategies to achieve the best of their abilities. She is extremely well trained to prepare and support anyone who is learning French.
