(Ze French Teacher)
French can be a deeply intimidating subject for students, and preparing for the Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert often brings a lot of unwanted stress and panic to the entire household.
As a native French teacher from the French Alps with over 10 years of experience teaching Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert students, I believe having a clear, proven system is the secret to replacing exam panic with genuine confidence.
I am the creator and sole teacher at Ze French Teacher and specialize exclusively in 1-1 online grinds, 1-1 oral preparation and masterclasses. My approach is entirely collaborative: I work closely with students to build their skills, while keeping parents regularly updated so you always know how your child is progressing. Every year, I am privileged to guide many students from feeling overwhelmed to achieving outstanding H1 and H2 results.
I look forward to supporting and guiding your child every step of the way to exam success.
À bientôt ! Carole

The online 1-1 Grinds & 1-1 Oral preparation are held via Google Meet. Your child will receive a new link every time 5 min prior to the grind. All she/he needs is a computer or tablet, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space to learn.
Elite customised learning materials are also provided to optimize the learning process.
For the 1-1 Grinds and 1-1 Oral Preparation, we also share a Google Doc, and your child will receive Audio recordings of her/his oral script to listen to and practice with at home.
Spoken French is integrated into my weekly 1-1 grinds, but if you realize late in the year that you need help preparing for your child's Oral, I can step in and help.
Intensive preparation in the 3 months leading up to the exam is also very effective to master any oral exam.
I combine live conversation with Custom Native Audio Recordings: I record every section of the oral in French so your child can listen back, master correct pronunciation, and memorize her/his H1 oral script effortlessly between sessions.
"I was very anxious starting working on my oral but your audios helped me a lot to gain confidence." (James - H4 to H1)
I view 1-to-1 tuitions as high-level coaching. I give 100% of my energy to the student's success, and I treat our work as a true partnership between student, parent, and teacher.
Regular Updates: I keep parents in the loop with consistent feedback on the student's progress and grade trajectory.
Proactive Communication: If homework isn't done or if a roadblock is holding back the student's skills, I reach out to parents directly so we can resolve it quickly together.
Transparent Track Record: Our shared Google Doc is accessible anytime for parents, students and me to see live homework marks, essay corrections, and SEC-aligned grade improvements.
Always Reachable: If the student or the parents ever have a question or concern, I am always here to support you.
Securing a H1/H2 is a team effort. My proactive coaching keeps the student accountable, confident, and on track for top marks.
Yes — jumping from H5 to H2 or H4 to H1 is very achievable, but it requires genuine work and consistent pro-active commitment.
Method Over Talent: A starting H4/H5 simply means the student hasn't mastered SEC exam expectations yet.
It Takes Effort: Grade jumps don't happen by accident. It requires weekly homework, active participation, and applying my exam method on a consistent basis.
Realistic Expectations: For students with learning difficulties (like dyslexia), progress is often more gradual, but confidence and marks still increase significantly.
Proven Transformations: When students trust the method, major jumps happen — I've even helped an Ordinary Level (O6) student reach a H2 at Higher Level.
"John got H2 in his French! He wasn't even at Higher Level standard when he started with you. Thank you so much—he couldn't have done it without you."
— Cheryl (Parent)
