About Sylvie
I am a French native with Italian origins. I was born in Marseille where I grew up. I obtained my degree in translation (It/Eng > Fr) at Aix-en Provence University. I moved to Bath in 2001 where I worked as a freelance translator. In 2011 I trained as a language tutor. I am an enthusiastic person, passionate about languages and their cultures. I love to share my language skills (French and Italian). I am also trained as an Emergency Paediatric first aider and I have trained in NSCPP safeguarding child protection. I also passed NCFE CACHE LEVEL 2 certificate in understanding autism at Bath College (April 2023). I can provide certificates on request. I am also a keen gardener. Please feel free to contact me.

I teach French from home or online using varied and interesting topics in a relaxed and fun environment. My lessons are tailored to the students' needs using a fun interactive approach with some writing elements, audio-video files followed by some homework to reinforce what the students have already learnt in French. I make sure that my students don't feel inhibited by talking in French but gaining confidence in a MFL is key to learning further French and other MFLs. I am so enjoying seeing my students progressing smoothly and gaining confidence in learning and applying a modern foreign language. I am pleased to announce that my 2 French GCSE students achieved top grades (9s) in their French GCSEs in 2018 and my 3 French A level students got Bs in 2022. As for my French conversation group classes, my lessons are lively and very interactive and tailored to my students' needs. I even offered a workshop on sourdough bread (Pain au levain) upon my students' request. They really enjoyed using the related French vocabulary, making bread and sharing it with the group. My way of teaching is not too academic but lively with "Real-world" situations so my students can use French in practical ways. Primary school children: my lesson plans are based on games, songs, action chants, role-playing, crafting, word recognition - combined with a well-structured programme so that the children don't feel inhibited by practising a Modern Foreign Language.

I have been attending Sylvie's French conversation group for a few years now and thoroughly enjoy her teaching style which is relaxed and friendly. Sylvie covers many interesting topics, important aspects of grammar and also the use of current conversational idiom and expressions. I recommend her wholeheartedly - she is also a lovely person and has become a good friend!
Sylvie is such a good teacher. She makes the French lessons both interesting and relevant with a clear, and inclusive, teaching style - they are also very enjoyable.
I have been having French lessons from Sylvie for about 18months. She is an approachable and flexible teacher always willing to follow up on the subjects suggested by students as the basis for a lesson. Her lessons are interesting as she uses a range of materials both audio and visual. She is encouraging and makes it possible for a student to try the language with confidence. I really recommend her.
Sylvie is an excellent tutor. She did French conversation with me to help prepare me for my GCSE. She was very helpful in improving my pronunciation of words, and she gave me some useful phrases for the sorts of topics which come up in the conversation part of the exam. She also tailored her sessions with me to suit my needs. Overall, I would strongly recommend her. Evie.
Sylvie is an excellent tutor because her focus is on the individual student. She will ensure that you learn according to your interests and encourage development through a variety of enjoyable routes and techniques. She is always good humoured and positive.
