Fleur's biography:

Fleur is an experienced teacher with over ten years experience of raising achievement in London schools. Her enthusiasm and student centred approach has been a led her to have many successes including consistently helping students of mixed ability to score above their predicted grades. Through building supportive relationships with students, she has been able to imbue a renewed sense of confidence which has unlocked many learning barriers.

Fleur has recently taught in a girl’s school in South East London, where as the lead practitioner of Latin, she was responsible for the subject’s development and uptake. Through creating a dynamic and differentiated curriculum, Latin became one of the most popular and successful subjects in the school. Her last GCSE results were the highest in the school with over 90% achieving an A or A*. As a member of the modern languages department she has extensive knowledge of teaching French and Spanish up to A-level, with an in depth understanding of the exam requirements.

Over the last seven years, Fleur has also worked privately as a tutor. She enjoys the ability to work one-to-one with students and help them to gain the deeper insight of the subject and confidence outside of the classroom. She is adept at understanding the individual needs of each student and ensures she works alongside parents to ensure that objectives are shared. Above all, Fleur believes that learning should be fun; inspiring curiosity and lifelong learning. Her lessons are carefully designed to engage the student through fun and meaningful activities.

Fleur has experience of tutoring students for the Eton Scholarship exam in French, those preparing for the 13+ at Dulwich college, Westminster and students preparing to apply for Oxford and Cambridge. She has managed to help these students to pass these exams well and surpass what their goals.

Fleur has been teaching my daughter A level Spanish with a focus on conversation and grammar since April. She has been quick to make a relationship with her and is kind and gentle in her approach. She has helped her build her confidence which was a major issue. She's been extremely flexible working around our daughter's extra curricular and academic demands. I would recommend her without hestitation.
