Monica was privately educated at Wimbledon High School GPDST before gaining a 2 (i) Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature at the University of Hull, followed by a post-graduate degree in Law from the College of Law. This has given her a background in academic rigour and discipline that she is able to pass on to her students.After qualifying as a solicitor, Monica practised international shipping law for seven years which involved considerable global travel. She has also worked as a banker and international PA, and in the theatre as an actress and director, which has provided her with a number of different skills and experiences that she can draw on when tutoring children.
Brought up in Paris and London, Monica is fluent in French and English. Her father was a linguist and her mother a broadcaster, actress and artist. This gives her an interesting, international background which is of invaluable importance in enabling her to develop well-rounded, cultured, impeccably educated children.

Hélène
FLE (FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) and SCHOOL SUPPORT IN ENGLISH AND ITALIANMy name is Helen.
I lived abroad for over 25 years: in Great Britain where I taught FLE, then in Belgium where I worked with European institutions on projects, and finally in Italy for 20 years where I was called upon to teach FLE at the University of Turin and where, at the same time, I directed cultural projects linked to French-speaking literature at a local institution, il Circolo dei Lettori.
My FLE teaching is pragmatic, progressive and tailor-made.
Why ?
Because before teaching, I had to personally confront learning languages: English, then Spanish, Portuguese and finally Italian.
I thus understood what is useful and what is less so for entering another language, what gives the pleasure of seeing oneself progress, of beginning to speak, to understand, to write...
The FLE course, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is certainly intended for those who wish to learn French in order to fit into a French-speaking context, but also for children/adolescents who do not have the grammatical bases to be good at school.
A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure called grammar through which one must progress in order to learn.
DON’T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH PLEASURE!
All my many students have liked the progression that I give to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, serious and fun at the same time.
