French native. PGDE-qualified teacher. Guided a student from failing grammar to A* at A-level. GCSE, A-level, National 5, Higher & Advanced Higher specialist.

Lorene has been a close friend of mine for years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! As a native French speaker with teaching qualifications and experience, she brings great expertise to her lessons. She is supportive and patient—qualities I see constantly in how she interacts with others and teaches her own family. If you are looking to learn French, you are in good hands with Lorene!

Lorene is very patient with students at all levels, but what is special about her is that she can talk about the culture and how language evolves over time to help you understand how the language and the phrases work. I've often come to her with things I learned in other French classes and was happy when she could explain a sentence or phrase better so I understood.
