Personal Description:
Hello, Kia ora, Bonjour! I’m a native French speaker with solid experience in teaching students of all ages and levels. I’m a patient and dedicated tutor, and I offer online lessons through a free and user-friendly platform.
What’s included in your fee:
- A personalized online lesson tailored to your goals
- Custom worksheets and exercises
- 24/7 support via email or text — I’m here if you need help between lessons!
Whether you're:

Tutoring Experience:
Over 12 years of teaching experience
- I have been teaching French and English for more than 12 years, working with learners from ages 5 to 99, and at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers.
- I have also worked as a Junior School Director, which has given me strong skills in personalized learning, organization, and student support.
- I’ve received excellent feedback from students and families over the years — references available upon request.
Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring approach is flexible, supportive, and personalized to each learner. Here's how I work:
- Our first lesson is a discovery session — we’ll assess your level, discuss your goals, and figure out the best way and time to learn. It’s also a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
- After each session, I provide custom worksheets and exercises based on what we covered. I also offer ongoing support — you can reach out to me anytime via email or text if you need help or have questions.
- Whether you’re preparing for an exam (like NCEA, DELF, etc.), improving your speaking and pronunciation, or simply building your confidence in French, I adapt the lessons to your pace, your interests, and your learning style.
I believe that learning should be meaningful, enjoyable, and empowering — and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Lex
Would highly recommend.
Merci beaucoup!
She knows how to teach at the level you are at .
Eg she speaks slow to me in French and corrects me in a encouraging and precise way . While we meet via Skype or zoom we talk and same time she types up the words or grammar etc I need to work on . By the end of our lesson she emails it to me .
But above all it is fun and light . I have had about one month of one or two lessons a week and feel way more confident already. I always look forward to our lesson . I recommend her unreservedly.!! Martine
Thanks so much for your feedback! :) I hope Yvonne had found the right professor for her exam.
Best wishes!
I really enjoy my lessons, Laurene works hard to improve you through positive comments.
I enjoy the style of being able to have French conversations as well as structured worksheets to go through.
Laurene opened our sessions with a conversation around my motivation for learning French and that has really helped remotivate me and guide the direction of where the lessons go.
If your looking for a great French teacher who can progress you quickly whilst having fun I highly recommend contacting Laurene.
I am very happy that you find a new confidence in you and in French language!
