About Pagnol
My name is Pagnol, and I am a native French speaker based in Manchester with a genuine passion for sharing my language and culture with others.
French is not just a subject I studied — it is the language I grew up speaking, thinking, and living in every day. That lived experience is what I bring into every lesson. I don't just teach grammar rules and vocabulary lists; I help students understand how French actually works in the real world, the way a native speaker experiences it.
I decided to start tutoring because I noticed how many students struggle with French not because they lack ability, but because they've never had the chance to learn it from someone who truly lives the language. I want to change that. There is something incredibly rewarding about watching a student go from hesitant and unsure to speaking with real confidence — and that is what drives me.
I hold a French A-Level, which means I understand the exact curriculum, exam expectations and pressure that UK students face. I combine that academic grounding with my natural fluency to offer something most tutors cannot: authentic French, taught with patience, structure and care.
I am committed to creating a learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and growing at their own pace. Whether you are a complete beginner, a GCSE student chasing a top grade, or an adult learner with a personal goal in mind, I will meet you exactly where you are and help you get to where you want to be.
I look forward to helping you fall in love with French.

My Approach to Teaching French
As a native French speaker, I bring the language to life in a way that textbooks simply can't. My lessons are built around real communication — I want my students to actually think in French, not just translate in their heads.
How I Teach
I tailor every lesson to the individual student. Whether you're preparing for a GCSE exam or just want to hold a confident conversation, I adapt my pace, style and materials to suit you. I combine structured grammar work with natural speaking practice, so you build both accuracy and confidence at the same time. I use a mix of conversation, listening exercises, written practice, and exam technique drills — whatever will move you forward fastest.
Lesson Length
Sessions typically run for 60 minutes, which gives enough time to review previous material, introduce new concepts, and practise. Shorter 45-minute sessions are available for younger learners or beginners who prefer a lighter workload.
My Background
French is my first language — I grew up speaking it every day, which means I can teach authentic pronunciation, natural expressions, and cultural context that native fluency brings. I hold a French A-Level, giving me a strong grasp of the grammar and exam structures that UK students need to master.
Who My Lessons Are For
My tuition is open to all ages and levels — from complete beginners and Key Stage 3 pupils finding their feet, to GCSE students aiming for a top grade, and adults who want to travel, work, or simply communicate more confidently in French. If you've always wanted to speak French properly, I'm here to make that happen.

I’ve been working with this tutor for around 6 months now and the progress I’ve made has been incredible. When I first came to him, I had a strong foundation in written French but really struggled with listening comprehension. Understanding native speakers at natural speed was my biggest challenge.
He immediately identified this gap and structured our sessions around exactly what I needed. His approach is easygoing, patient and calm, which made me feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions without feeling judged.
Six months later, I can now watch French films and understand conversations at natural speed, something I genuinely couldn’t do before. If you’re looking for a tutor who actually listens to what you need and tailors his teaching accordingly, I’d highly recommend him.Pagnol was my French tutor when I was preparing for my exams. He is very patient and always made me feel confident. He's able to adapt to my learning style and teach in such a way that makes it easier to understand. I ended up passing my exams successfully. I couldn't recommend Pagnol more.
Pagnol makes sure to be patient and break everything down and literally doesn’t stop until you get it. I recommend him to anyone trying to improve their french!
