About Penelope
Hey :) Feeling nervous, or think you're "not a language person"? You're not alone...
I'm Penny, and I help beginner and intermediate learners feel comfortable learning languages!
Maybe you are looking for an encouraging, patient tutor. My lessons are collaborative, warm, supportive, and low-pressure - ideal if you are looking for reassurance and encouragement to cheer you on, and if you value human rapport over fast-paced drills and strict targets.
GCSE:
With experience as Head of Languages at a secondary school, I’m well-placed to help students working towards their GCSEs, focusing on the essential skills and success criteria - whether you want to grow in confidence or receive clear guidance on working towards higher grades, all without the pressure.
PRIMARY:
I bring learning to life with interactive, hands-on activities - using fun and dynamic quizzes, games, videos, storybooks and role-play, students have an engaging and immersive learning experience in our lessons.
ADULTS:
I help learners progress from absolute beginner to intermediate level (CEFR A1-B1). I focus on learners **up to B1** level, to gently build confidence with the foundational essentials – whether handling chats in shops, restaurants or at work. B1 is a great milestone and you’ll be able to handle most everyday interactions with ease.
I'm best suited to learners who are open to practical, thoughtful ways of learning, using simple strategies and small daily habits to build confidence and overcome anxiety - making language learning efficient and enjoyable for those who appreciate guidance and insight.
----
I offer flexible pricing from £36 to £60 per hour, tailored to suit your needs. 30 and 45-minute lessons also available.
Having also lived in France, Germany and Italy, I bring a global perspective to tailor lessons to different learning styles and cultural contexts. Speaking four languages (French, German, Italian and English) while learning three more (Swedish, Polish and Arabic), I know how rewarding, but scary, language learning can feel. I therefore focus on helping learners feel comfortable and encouraged every step of the way, without the pressure.
With the right support and steady practice, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can reach your goals.

Some wonderful words from my students and their parents:
“I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone thinking of booking sessions with Penny to do it and do it now! As a trained actor, I came to Penny with a very unique request. Having very little knowledge of speaking German…. within a week we had a monologue translated, memorised and ready to present to an audition panel. Not only did Penny help me reach my goals but she gave me the upmost confidence to get there. I’m certain I would not have got there if it was not for Penny’s support and extra efforts to help me achieve them. Not only that, but her teaching has most definitely inspired me to continue with my language learning. I would 100% recommend working with Penny. Don’t hesitate – she is one of the best!!” - Adult learner.
“Miss Penelope is a wonderful teacher. From the very first day she motivated my son to study French more. She is very punctual and professional. Just after one month my son’s French has improved significantly. Exactly what I wanted.” - Parent of a Year 11 student.

Penny's French lessons are really helpful. She's supportive without being overpowering, gives you time to think and skillfully balances problem-solving with giving guidance. She also provides constructive feedback and opportunities for self-reflection along the way. I highly recommend her!
Penny is an excellent tutor who balances focusing on your priorities, guiding you at your own pace, and providing support. I highly recommend her lessons.
Penelope always turns up to teach with the enthusiasm and energy that ignites a passion for learning! She never failed to get my daughter signing in French; something no other has managed.
We have felt very well supported by Penelope. It helps that she is super nice, and dedicated to putting in a personalised touch to help even the most forlorn learner.
Penelope’s trustworthiness is unquestionable.Penny actually taught me conversational French, really enjoyed the lessons, interactive and appropriate. Penny is fluent in German because her mum is German. So if the French was good, the German will be impeccable.
