My Method Delivers Points Every Time.

Feel confident tackling any topic the exam throws at you.
Write essays that tick every box examiners are looking for.

Result: More marks, less stress, and a reliable path to a H1.

My students speak for themselves.

The best way to understand my method is through the results it delivers.

"Carole is a native French speaker and completely exam-focused. Her opinion piece layout was simple, clear, and packed with phrases examiners love. Over time, I felt fully prepared for every part of the exam — oral, aural, and written. Thanks to her method, I achieved top marks in my Leaving Cert and now I’m going on to study French at university."

Iseult – H1 Student

"I honestly dreaded the French essay and would freeze in the exam. Before I started with Carole, I was closer to a H5. Her system was a game-changer. It gave me a structure I could rely on every single time and the fear of the blank page disappeared. Even though my grammar wasn’t perfect, I could write strong, organised essays — and I finished with a H2 in my Leaving Cert."

Jamie – H2 Student

"Carole helped me hugely throughout 6th year. Her opinion piece method is clear and structured, which allowed me to use complex language in a simple way. She showed me exactly what examiners are looking for, and once I started using her approach, I consistently hit H1 grades. On exam day, I felt confident tackling any topic and achieved the H1 I wanted."

Sophie – H1 Student

"Working with Carole completely transformed my approach to French. Her foolproof opinion piece method gave me confidence and made my writing much more efficient. With her guidance, I mastered the structure, learned the key sentences, and felt ready for anything the exam could throw at me. By the time I sat the Leaving Cert, I was consistently hitting H1s — and ended up with 98%."
