I am a native English speaker, fluent in French and qualified with a BA (Hons) Modern European Languages (French and Spanish) from Durham University. Currently based in North-East England, I offer teaching, proofreading and translation services in French and English. Other teachers, proofreaders and translators support this work, also providing other languages such as Spanish and Catalan. I have been teaching English to individual students and small groups of all ages since 2003, and set up Express Language in 2006. Lessons take place at students’ homes, in bars, in coffee shops and in more formal settings, according to the type of training required. Language programmes are tailored to each student’s abilities and preferences.
