“The workshop was amazing even though I was in year 9, I feel as though I have gained a lot of insight into the VCE course and feel more well versed about it. Anne-Aélis was a very kind and understanding tutor and communication was great. I feel like I have learned a lot that will definitely help me in the coming years. Thank you for the workshops, I have really enjoyed them!”

Liara Perumal, 2022

“Anne-Aélis is by far the most personable, encouraging and motivated tutor I have ever had. Not only does she go out of her way to ensure that her students are being exposed to all facets of the French language and culture, but she aims to foster a real passion for learning the language that extends beyond VCE. That being said, in terms of the VCE, Anne Aélis provides extremely precise, individually tailored and in depth feedback/corrections and addresses all questions and concerns with great attention. Couldn’t have asked for a better tutoring experience!”

Duvin Nambuwasam, 2021

“Anne-Aélis is the kind of tutor that every VCE French student needs. From the weekly corrections of essays to the detailed feedback she offers at the end of each class, it is so rare to find a tutor who is so devoted to their students. Because of her, my French has definitely improved, and I always felt prepared before every SAC and exam. Not to mention that she is one of the friendliest people you will ever come across! Couldn’t recommend more!”

Hannah Nishikubo, 2020

“I had the absolute honour of being tutored by Anne-Aélis throughout 2020, and she has been amazing throughout a whirlwind of a year. Her love, passion and enthusiasm for teaching French was what helped me to rediscover the joy in French, and even though I was at home, I still felt the same lively energy and gained the same valuable knowledge that I would have in person. She also goes above and beyond, taking the time to curate personalised classes to meet my needs, which I am grateful for. With her help, I was able to improve my confidence in speaking and my writing. I cannot recommend Anne-Aélis enough as her classes are engaging and highly valuable, which I believe are guaranteed to help anyone. Thank you for everything this year!"

Vicky Tan, 2020

“I am truly grateful to have been tutored by Anne-Aélis throughout year 12, as her love for French is undeniably genuine and therefore infectious. She helped me with fluency and accuracy whilst speaking French as well as being confident in whatever I am saying. I have always struggled with grammar in French and Anne-Aélis helped me to identify my mistakes and then to fix them. I honestly believe that Anne-Aélis has a style of teaching that can successfully teach anyone.”

Aishwarya Khatri, 2018

“I could not recommend Anne-Aélis enough, she was truly my saving grace during year 12. My confidence in my ability to understand and speak french would honestly not exist if it weren’t for Anne-Aélis. She understands exactly how to help to get the best score you can. Apart from being an amazing tutor, she becomes a friend and someone who you can truly trust.”

Ella Clark, 2018

”Searching for a tutor with only 2 months before my oral exam, I didn’t actually think that I would be able to find someone that would help me improve my spoken French to where I wanted it to be. Anne-Aélis managed to prove me wrong. She helped me to rediscover my passion for French (at a time when it was very important to do so!!), and so reach a level that I could be proud of. I wholly believe that AA has the skill and knowledge required of a French tutor, but she goes beyond what is expected, in that she truly cares about and takes interest in her students. A good teacher can get the job done, but I think that having a mentor as genuine as Anne-Aélis makes a noticeable difference. Her guidance, positive attitude and encouragement allowed me to face the oral exam with confidence. I ended up being content that I’d done all that I could have. My only regret is that I didn’t start lessons with her sooner.
Thanks Anne-Aélis!”

Perry Lindsay, 2018

“Anne-Aélis tutored me in VCE French throughout Year 12 and helped me immensely in preparing for the Units 3&4 exam. She has an unwavering commitment to each and every one of her students as she prepares materials before classes, consistently corrects additional essays and goes over time when needed. Her classes are designed to expose students to a wide range of vocabulary and expressions which is particularly useful come the oral and written examinations. Anne-Aélis also aims to instil in her students a genuine passion and interest for the French language and culture which has inspired me to continue learning French beyond a VCE level. I wholeheartedly recommend Anne-Aélis as a tutor for anyone looking to improve their French and could not thank her enough for all that she has done for me this year. Merci beaucoup!!”

Naman Chaudhry, 2018

“I was lucky enough to have Anne-Aélis teaching me at the University of Melbourne VCE Summer School. She is super knowledgeable and packed a lot of content into a short space of time without it feeling rushed. Even over two weeks, I felt like my French pronunciation and speaking skills improved! She's also really friendly and approachable and I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to score highly in French.”

Brynnie Rafe, 2018

“I was tutored in Units 3/4 VCE French by Anne-Aélis and I would strongly advise those looking for a high score in the subject to begin tuition with her. My improvement in French, both in terms of VCE and in general has been great. She is extremely thorough and helps to eradicate little errors that can turn your speaking and writing from good to great, she has a great passion for both the language and culture and she gives you little tips in areas that many teachers forget about. Thanks for your help and effort this year!”

Anthony Tchakerian, 2017

“I cannot recommend Anne-Aelis enough--she really made sure to cater lessons individually to your strengths and weaknesses and was completely patient and understanding in her help. She's not only passionate about the subject but completely dedicated to helping her students - I owe her a lot !”

Aarushi Kaul, 2017

“Anne-Aélis was my French tutor during Year 12 and for me the best part was the fact that she gave excellent feedback on all my essays in a timely manner! She would suggest improved vocabulary words and better sentence structures - all of which helped me achieve a great study score for French! Additionally, thanks to Anne-Aélis spending a long time on my speaking skills, I was very well prepared and felt confident going into my oral exam (a huge surprise to me!) I would highly recommend Anne-Aélis as she's super friendly and all in all a brilliant french tutor!!”

Nebula Chowdhury, 2017

"Anne-Aélis is probably the most inspiring teacher I've ever had. For current VCE students or anyone interested in learning French, I would very much recommend being tutored by her."

Lara Killham-Walter, 2016 

“I was tutored by Anne-Aélis throughout VCE French and can safely say that I owe so much of my improvement and success in French to her. Not only is she a native French speaker, she also has an excellent grasp of the VCE French study design - having done it herself. Her ability to teach and tailor to individual students' needs is evident, not to mention the wide variety and high quality of resources she provides for her students. Anne-Aélis will become not only your teacher, but a friend, a career counsellor and even a fashion advisor. All in all - a great teacher with a wonderful personality, could not recommend more!”

Jenny Cheng, 2016

“For my final year of VCE French I had the honour of being tutored by Anne-Aélis; and in all honesty I am a bit bummed I didn't find her sooner. I owe all my improvement to her. Week after week she would go above and beyond to ensure that I was grasping new skills, preparing well for my SACs and ultimately performing at my peak for the two VCE exams. Without a doubt, VCE French is a hell of a subject, but Anne-Aélis gave me that chance to form a deeper appreciation for a language that makes up a large part of who I am. Her endless support and encouragement created such a great learning environment. As her student I could not have asked for anything more.”

Grace Barelier, 2016

“I can honestly say that Anne-Aelis' tutoring is the best I've ever experienced. Not only is she patient and understanding but she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She understands the requirements of VCE French and is very effective in her teaching. I am inspired from her passion and dedication of teaching her mother tongue and I adore the effort she puts into her students to ensure they have access to the best possible resources! I owe so much to her as she has helped advance my language skills far beyond than what I expected. Thank you for your dedication and assistance! Highly recommend!!”

Sabrina Dong, 2016

“I had Anne-Aélis for around 3 months during Year 12 and she was absolutely brilliant. Truly passionate about what she teaches, wholeheartedly recommend!”

Sparsh Ahuja, 2015

“I was tutored by Anne-Aélis throughout year 12 and can confidently say that I owe so much of my improvement in French to her! She is not only highly knowledgeable about the language, but is also organized, friendly and incredibly supportive. Her passion for teaching is obvious and she is always encouraging her students to aim high. Spend a few lessons with Anne-Aélis and I am confident you will notice an improvement in your conversation and pronunciation skills, not to mention your interest in French!”

Jennifer Hung, 2015

"Anne-Aelis is a great French tutor who absolutely understands the requirements of VCE french and how to achieve well beyond the average mark. Being of a french speaking background, she is more than capable of teaching the language but knows how to apply this to the course (unlike make french speaking tutors who aren't familiar with what actually needs to be taught/ known). She puts in effort to meet your needs, is well organised, is friendly and easy to get along with but more importantly, goes the extra mile to give you support as well as make your French learning experience enjoyable. Would highly recommend with a doubt!"

Nicole Li, 2015

“Without Anne-Aélis I honestly don't think I would have continued with french through my year 12. Having gone through multiple french tutors before Anne-Aélis I found many french tutors fail to directly address the year 12 course. Anne-Aélis directly caters for VCE french and I found her assistance especially for my oral exam extremely helpful. Could not recommend a french tutor more highly!!”

Lachlan McCracken, 2015

“I saw Anne-Aélis for 1/2 French this year, and if I were to give a rating, it'd probably break the scale! She has helped me gain so much confidence in speaking, also helping with my pronunciation, and she goes to the extent of explaining cultural things in France. She is very patient and passionate, and has really aided me with enjoying the language even more.”

Yii-Huei Phang, 2014

“I was tutored by Anne-Aélis in 3/4 French this year and she has honestly been one of the best teachers I've ever had. I owe my successes in French this year to her. Not only does she goes above and beyond to make sure her students are fully prepared for SACs and the two exams, her lessons gave me a deeper appreciation for the language itself. She's super easy to get along with and is incredibly passionate about French and tutoring - could not recommend more!”

Hilary Di, 2014

“Anne-Aélis is an excellent French tutor. She is willing to spend extra time outside of the sessions to help you and has great resources that you won't get from your school’s teacher. She's also very encouraging whether you're terrible or fabulous.”

Ella Byrne, 2014

“Anne-Aélis is a wonderful tutor. She will help you embrace the language and really enjoy learning it. She focuses specifically on how to achieve high on SACs and the final exam. She is extremely dedicated and supportive. She listens to what you need and what you want to learn and then builds on that. I would definitely recommend Anne-Aélis to any French student who wants to achieve high as well as enjoy the language.”

MayChelle Tung, 2014

“Really wonderful service, brilliant for enhancing both fluency and cultural understanding.”

Christina Thorpe, 2014

“I saw Anne-Aélis for French tutoring throughout year 12 leading up to my VCE French exam. I wasn't one of the strongest students but always felt super encouraged by her, and her assistance was obvious! My teachers commented on my improvements after just a few weeks of tutoring, particularly with my accent and speaking skills. Excellent tutoring, I'd highly recommend it to everyone.”

Katie Turner, 2014
