Hi! I'm Tom, a native French speaker and French-English law student at University College Dublin (UCD), where I am completing a French-English double degree in Law.
I offer French grinds and personalised French lessons in Dublin, particularly around UCD, Blackrock, Stillorgan, Booterstown and Dún Laoghaire, as well as online.
Whether you are preparing for the Leaving Certificate French exam, studying French at Junior Cycle or university level, looking to improve your spoken French, or simply wanting to become more confident in the language, I adapt every lesson to your level and goals.

👨🏫 MY APPROACH TO TEACHING FRENCH
I believe that learning a language should be structured, practical and engaging, but also flexible.
I have personally experienced what it is like to learn and use a new language on a daily basis at home. This taught me that having a clear structure and objective for each lesson is important, but that flexibility and adaptation are just as essential.
I therefore give every lesson a clear structure while adapting the content and pace to the individual student. If you are struggling with grammar, we can focus on grammar. If you need to become more confident speaking French, we can focus on conversation. If you are preparing for the Leaving Certificate, we can work specifically on the skills required for your exam.
For exam preparation, lessons can include grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening, written expression and oral practice.
As a native French speaker studying in an English-speaking university environment, I can also explain difficult French concepts clearly in English whenever necessary.
🎓 WHY CHOOSE ME AS YOUR FRENCH TUTOR?

• Fluent in English
• French-English double degree student
• Law student at University College Dublin (UCD)

I also work every summer at a YMCA summer camp in the United States, where I work with children and teenagers of different ages.
