I’ve had an interest in languages from an early age…

I completed a joint honours modern languages degree in French and Spanish, followed by a masters degree in translation and interpreting. During this time I studied in Spain and worked for French companies.

After university, I worked for a translation company speaking to French and Spanish clients on a regular basis. This experience gained enabled me to subsequently set up my own company: Stonedene Language Services.

"C’est simple comme bonjour"

"Easy as pie"

French saying

I have many years experience of teaching a range of abilities from adults wanting to learn conversational French and Spanish to teaching GCSE and A Level students to A grades. Through teaching I hope to pass on the joy I have received from my long involvement with languages to all my students.
