Meet Agnes,
Your Qualified French Tutor

I’m a qualified native French teacher with over 10 years of experience. Having lived in Ireland and Australia, I understand both the rewards and challenges of building a life in another language. I offer personalised one-to-one lessons online, wherever you live, or in Paris subject to availability.

A Native French Teacher with a International Perspective

I have been teaching French for over 10 years. Having lived and worked in Ireland and Australia, I understand firsthand the rewards and challenges of expat life.

Living and working abroad has shaped the way I teach: I understand what it feels like to communicate in another language, adapt to unfamiliar situations and build a life in a new country.

Today, I use this experience to help adults from different backgrounds communicate more naturally and confidently in French, whether for everyday life, work, travel or an exam.

Agnes Preparing Personalised French Lessons

A Supportive Teacher with an Eye for Detail

Students often tell me that they feel comfortable speaking and asking questions during our lessons.

I create a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere, while also paying close attention to the details that help you progress, from pronunciation and word choice to recurring mistakes and the way you structure your ideas.

I believe that support and careful correction should go hand in hand. My goal is to help you speak more freely while always giving you clear, constructive feedback that you can use in your next conversation.

A Few Things About Me

French lessons are also about sharing ideas and getting to know one another. Here are a few of the things that matter to me beyond teaching.

French Pastries

French Pastries and Baking

I have a weakness for a good pastry and love discovering regional specialities whenever I travel around France. I also enjoy baking with my dad — a delicious way to share our love of French food and traditions! You can discover a few of my favourites in my guide to regional French pastries.

Nature and Wildlife

I feel happiest in peaceful natural settings and have a particular soft spot for deer. Observing wildlife and spending time outdoors give me a sense of balance and plenty of inspiration beyond teaching.

Kismet and Animal Welfare

Kismet and Animal Welfare

Kismet is my occasional teaching assistant and sometimes appears during online lessons, usually before heading outside to patrol the garden. I also care deeply about animal welfare and support local animal rescue organisations.
