About Caroline

I am trilingual (French, English, Italian) and specialise in teaching English to young adult and adult learners. I have more than 20 years of teaching experience, including at university.

I first started speaking English at the age of 9 and was bilingual by the time I was 18. I have a Master of Philosophy from Trinity College Dublin, have lived in the UK for the past 23 years and, among other things, I have run a British independent publishing company.

But more importantly, I know what it's like to learn English as a foreign language and have created a method based on my own experience as a learner.

English

I'm passionate about languages and the language learning process and believe that you can learn a language if you:
- understand the learning process and take charge (as opposed to repeating set sentences),
- integrate language learning to your life (and not simply do your homework),
- stop using your mother tongue to speak the language you're learning (which amounts to squaring a circle).

My task is to adapt to my students' interests and needs, to create classes they not only enjoy, but which give them confidence to express themselves in a new language. My aim is to turn them into independent speakers.

I use a wide range of methods, books and supports (videos, films, podcasts, websites, among others) to make the class engaging and give a break from grammar. I provide a list of reference books and links and, where necessary, detailed teaching programmes.

If they are passionate about cars or wines, our lessons will revolve around those topics. If they love movies, I will encourage them to watch movies and read movie magazines in the language they're learning, because it means half the work is done already in terms of comprehension.

I always start by explaining what language learning means and the key differences between the mother tongue and the language they're studying, because I believe my students need to understand the logic of a language to study it.

I focus in equal measure on all four skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing - to ensure an even and more effective learning process.

What I enjoy the most is what I call the ‘light-bulb moments’, when students speak, forgetting the fact that they're using a different language and, floored by the realisation a couple of sentences later, break into a huge grin. I teach to empower my students with language and make them independent, confident speakers. Nothing makes me happier than to see them speak confidently in the new language they've worked hard at acquiring.

''Really want to give a shout out to Caroline, who is an exceptional teacher. She understands time pressure and maximises learning to its fullest. Her patient approach and ability to teach at all levels has blown my mind, this is learning but not like you have experienced before!''
Alan Clarke

''I have been learning French with Caroline for a while now. My goal is to be able to work as a psychotherapist in French, and I am getting closer and closer to achieving that. Caroline has patiently taught me many of the intricacies of French, especially concerning my professional goals. She is very good at taking conversations about one's daily life and turning them into a learning point. Learning a foreign language is difficult - one's mind always wants to revert to one's native tongue - but Caroline has helped me get through that barrier to the point now where I can hold a conversation in French quite well (still have lots to learn, but one never learns everything about any language). I can thoroughly recommend Caroline as a language tutor - her knowledge and understanding of language and her use of the process of learning a language is extremely good.''
Richard Pascall

''Caroline is an outstanding French teacher. I have never been able to learn a language so quickly before. The best thing about her teaching method is that she makes sure you fully understand the logic behind the language, making it very easy to become immersed in it. Learning with Caroline is fun and she makes sure the lessons are tailored to your needs / ability whilst ensuring the lessons are fun, which makes learning much easier! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn French.''
Kofi O.

''Caroline has been tutoring me for around 3 years now - I’d tried a few different groups and classes, but it wasn’t until I found Caroline that I really felt a difference in my level and my confidence. Everything is completely tailored to the specific gaps in my knowledge and what I’d like to achieve, and she sends interesting links to tv programmes and articles etc. between lessons. No more boring textbooks - Caroline brings our lessons to life and keeps them interesting, I recommend her to everyone.''
Rachel M.

''Caroline is a truly fabulous teacher! She’s precise, very good at explaining things and doesn’t let me get away with being lazy or taking shortcuts which is a problem of mine! I whole heartedly recommend Caroline. Very reasonably priced and very enjoyable!''
Lucy Rundle

''Caroline is an excellent teacher who takes pride in her attention to detail. I have been working with her for several years to improve my French. The lessons are very good value for money as she is very organized and continually creates new exercises and educational content to consolidate difficult points for her students. She excels at finding the precise balance of positive encouragement and gentle pressure needed to push us students out of our language comfort zones. Her approach focuses on empowering students to use the language in a way that is personal and real to them, no matter their level of vocabulary or grammar. Lessons are highly tailored to your interests and needs, not just going through exercises in a generic book. All language teachers correct what their students say, but Caroline goes a step beyond: she will notice what language points you *avoid*, and will train you to use them in an everyday setting so that your French sounds more natural. She is particularly skilled at French-English difficulties, so if you are an Anglophone hoping to learn French (or vice versa) I highly recommend you seek her out.''
Alex Cayco-Gajic

‘’You have to meet Caroline to know what it is she brings to your table.
She has a great way of teaching and inspiring people to want to learn.
I’m super grateful to the person who introduced her to me and even more grateful to Caroline for being such a great support in building my confidence.''
Robiha L.

''Lessons are fun and varied and Caroline’s adept at explaining grammar clearly, while making the most of every minute of our lessons. She’s passionate about language learning and about empowering her students with language they can use immediately.''
Michael Heaslip

''Caroline is warm, personable, and hugely experienced. She has a natural way of putting students at ease and setting a non-judgemental environment that's conducive to learning. Superb!''
Sarah Day

''Every lesson is completely bespoke as is any homework. Caroline sets me an assignment and depending on how I do, the next lesson focuses on my immediate weaknesses / knowledge gaps. I really like this targeted approach, we're not following a generic teaching plan, the teaching plan is 100% structured around my strengths and weaknesses (mainly weaknesses in my case). I really enjoy my lessons and plan to continue having them with Caroline for a long time (unless she gets bored of me first).''
Ben Freeman

''Caroline is quite an exceptional teacher. She is adept at constructing lessons to make the most effective use of time while maintaining an atmosphere of care and humour which makes the work so much more enjoyable.''
Bryan Ward

''Caroline makes me feel engaged and supported. Her classes are fun and, with her, grammar becomes easy! I now feel confident enough to converse with native speakers.''
Stefano Lombardi

''I’ve been taking classes with Caroline since Covid. She is a great tutor and really lovely person! She really cares about her students and loves creating super helpful tables and worksheets to help you understand tricky grammar concepts! Caroline is also very encouraging and tailors every class to her students :) highly recommend reaching out if you want to improve or learn French.''
