Intelligent and patient, with a great sense of humour, Olivia is an excellent tutor. Lessons are always fun, pitched at a perfect level and cover the French culture as well as the language. Olivia expertly treads the line between stretching my learning and pushing too far. It’s great to see my French improving as our lessons progress.

Olivia is incredibly patient and understanding, especially since I was a complete beginner in French. I felt my confidence and ability progressing with each lesson under her guidance. I am incredibly grateful to Olivia for making the lessons very interesting and applicable to everyday situations. She also gave me an opportunity to immerse myself into French culture, which is a testament to her ability to provide a holistic teaching experience. I have absolutely no hesitations in recommending Olivia to other Superprof members!

Olivia is a fantastic French tutor. I have been having lessons to help me settle into France and our lessons are the highlight of my week! Thanks to Olivia's wide-ranging knowledge on all kinds of areas (literature, art, current affairs, etc.), our lessons are always interesting and leave me with not only a better understanding of the French language but of French culture as well. She employs a variety of methods during the lessons, is patient and is always willing to answer any questions.

In short, I would highly recommend lessons with Olivia for anyone trying to learn French (both written and spoken).

Olivia was a great tutor. She was able to adapt the sessions to my proficiency level and interests, which I really appreciated. She was very knowledgeable about the authors we read, and she picked interesting and relevant topics and articles for discussion. It was great to be able to practice my French with her!

Olivia is an excellent language tutor. Even after only a few lessons I was speaking French with much more confidence, and I can firmly say that I am a much better French speaker now than when she started tutoring me. Olivia was very willing and able to discuss subjects that interested me, and this flexibility made the lessons very engaging and enjoyable. Aside from her skills as a tutor, she is a very pleasant person with a brilliant sense of humour, and has an infectious passion for the French culture and language. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is willing to improve their language skills, at any level.

I am very fortunate to have met Olivia! Olivia is a wonderful tutor, understanding her student’s needs and expectations, and planning the lessons accordingly. She was also very patient with a beginner level student! I particularly enjoyed the insights into French culture and history Olivia provided throughout the lessons.
We met both in person and virtually, and both formats were equally as good. For someone with a busy schedule, Olivia is very accommodating to arrange lessons on an ad hoc basis and was very flexible in the days and times we met.
I would highly recommend Olivia if looking for a French tutor.

Olivia is a natural teacher and gets the best out of her students! During my 40+ hours French lessons with her, she has tailored the content so it is relevant and interesting to learn. She is also reliable and generally flexible with hours.

Whether you are looking to improve your French for personal, professional or educational reasons I wholeheartedly recommend Olivia to you. I have been having regular lessons with her for around a year now to prepare me for a move to France and it has been a fantastic investment - and a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Olivia genuinely cares about ensuring that you achieve your personal objectives. She takes the time to understand your motivation, interests and current level of capability, and gives a lot of thought to preparing lessons that are interesting, focused and challenging, without being dismayingly difficult. There is always time set aside for consolidation - reinforcing vocabulary and grammar that has been covered in previous lessons - and mistakes are picked up in a way that feels positive and constructive. I always look forward to my lessons and know that I am making steady, measurable progress in every aspect of my spoken and written French. I wish I had found her years ago.
