Laurence has been an absolute godsend. My daughter is doing A levels and started working with her in her second year of Spanish, when she was at a low ebb. She has loved her lessons with Laurence and always come away inspired. She has talked particularly about how invested in her progress Laurence is, her fun, kindness and generosity of time. She has learnt much more from her than the school. In particular she has gained the the knowledge and confidence to write structured essays, now understands the exam content and has efficient techniques to develop her Spanish. Her trajectory since starting with Laurence has been astonishing. We have really appreciated Laurence's professionalism, reliability and flexibility in providing lessons. And her experience of the exam board has been deeply reassuring. With thanks

Laurence has been absolutely brilliant coaching our daughter with GCSE French. She is friendly, upbeat and engaging and our daughter’s confidence has rocketed. From hating French, our daughter now looks forward to her sessions with Laurence which is nothing short of a miracle!

Laurence has been a mentor as well as an excellent tutor. She quickly identified the gaps in my daughter’s knowledge, worked strategically with her and quietly restored her self belief. Laurence has an empathetic approach and adapted her teaching methods to minimise anxiety as well as providing valued encouragement.

Laurence is an exceptional French tutor we are so glad to have found her. She brings her knowledge and passion to every lesson and goes above and beyond to help my child’s individual needs. Laurence also has extensive knowledge of the UK exam boards which has really helped my child to get the extra points needed to gain top marks whilst still enjoying the subject. Thank you Laurence and we look forward to continuing with you for A level next year.

Last year I had a series of beginners Spanish lessons with Laurence Devaux. Languages are not my strong point, but I was delighted with the fast progress that I was able make thanks to Laurence's clear explanations and well prepared teaching materials. The lessons were also very enjoyable. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Laurence’s French tutoring has been a complete gamechanger for my son. After disappointing Year 10 exam results, we asked Laurence to help in the lead up to his GCSEs, as he was lacking in confidence and enthusiasm for French. From the very beginning, she was patient and encouraging, quickly identifying the areas he struggled with and rebuilding both his skills and his self-belief. What really stood out was Laurence’s ability to make lessons engaging and tailored to his needs. Over time, his confidence has grown enormously and he began approaching the subject with a much more positive attitude. His grades have improved significantly, but more importantly, he started to enjoy learning French again. We are so grateful for Laurence’s support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding French tutor.

Laurence is a fantastic and supportive teacher that my daughter felt a real connection with. She made a hugely positive difference to my daughter’s achievement in and attitude towards French. She feels very lucky to have been tutored by Laurence. Highly recommended.

Laurence is an amazing tutor. She supported my daughter to prepare for her French A levels. She is very friendly, is highly knowledgeable and does always pushes my daughter to exceed her limits. Even if I contacted her desperately just few months before the exam, she was able to discern what she needed. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for an outstanding tutor!

I was really impressed with Laurence's tutoring and found it extremely helpful. In particular, the explanations of grammar were very useful. The lessons were also fun and enjoyable and I plan to book some more.

Laurence is a 1st class tutor who really knows her subject and has extensive experience in what is required for the examination. She is friendly and engaging and has significantly helped my daughter. My daughter always looks forward to her lessons and is hoping to continue with Laurence when she starts A level Spanish.

Outstanding. Laurence is a first class tutor- knows not just her subject matter (French obviously), but a masterful understanding of the exam boards to go with it. I, simply, would not hesitate one bit (indeed I won't hesitate with my next kid coming through) to recommend Laurence and have her as a tutor. My only regret?- I wish I had found her 2 years ago. A really outstanding choice.

Laurence was fantastic with my 15 year old daughter who was really struggling with both her motivation and skills for preparing for her French GCSE. Laurence was friendly, patient, kind and understanding with her, and worked at the pace that suited her to build her confidence alongside her skills. I cannot fault Laurence in her tutoring and the way she interacted with my daughter. We could not have asked for more from Laurence - I really highly recommend her as a tutor.

Laurence helped me so much in preparing for my A Level Spanish speaking exam and and boosted my confidence hugely. She is such a great tutor and I would definitely recommend her.

Laurence was extremely helpful. She brought me up to A* for my predicted grade in four months. I did not have much hope for this to happen. It was highly influential in rebuilding my confidence and obtaining strong results. She has constantly been very reliable as well as flexible. Highly recommend!

Laurence is an excellent tutor who has helped me gain confidence in all aspects of my language learning. I have seen massive improvements from my lessons with Laurence and look forward to them each week!

Laurence is very responsible and well-organised. Both children have improved to varying degrees. She also shares detailed lesson content and reports to help children review after the lesson. Also, communicating with Laurence about the lessons was a pleasant experience, and she always promptly responded to my messages.

Laurence has tutored our son for his common entrance exam in French. She has been an outstanding tutor, really engaging, with clear focus on the areas of our son's knowledge that would add most value and our son has benefited enormously from his study with Laurence in terms of gains in knowledge, tackling issues that he couldn't get to grips and a massive increase in confidence. We have always found Laurence to be highly reliable, highly professional, personally charming and we could not recommend her more highly. Thank you, Laurence. We will definitely come back to you for continuing the higher-level French as well Spanish.

Laurence was the perfect A level tutor for our daughter - she was thorough, focussed and extremely encouraging. We couldn't be happier!

Over the last few months Laurence has helped my son prepare for his GCSE Spanish exam. She has been extremely supportive and my son’s progress has been obvious in his mocks and also noted by his school teacher. Laurence’s teaching style is encouraging and she provides constructive feedback which my son really appreciates. Her lesson are well structured to accommodate my son’s needs and Laurence always follows up with some notes after each lesson and useful handout material. Laurence provided regular feedback on my son’s progress and the areas that he needed to work on. She was also flexible when we had to reschedule the lesson. Thank you very much Laurence for all your support. It is much appreciated.

I approached Laurence in the lead up to the mock GCSE exams to help my son improve his ability and, importantly, his confidence. Laurence has a wonderful, personable manner with my son and is, clearly, steeped in experience. She significantly boosted my son’s grade and has provided very structured, focused support. I would recommend Laurence to anyone who is looking for a highly experienced, professional and very lovely tutor!

Laurence is a very knowledgeable and encouraging tutor. She has been willing to adapt her teaching methods to my particular needs and has enabled me to make noticeable progress in a short space of time. I highly recommend her as a Spanish tutor and commend her for her human qualities.

My lessons with Laurence have been really helpful and enjoyable and I have learned a lot in a short time. Laurence explains everything very clearly and her teaching materials are excellent. I am definitely inspired to continue with my studies.

Dear Laurence, I am truly delighted by the support you have given to our son in French GCSE preparation. His level was already advanced but he had some gaps. Your kind and structured approach has helped him a lot. He appreciated your supportive teaching style as well as the clear content you provided alongside the lessons. I feel it was really the right decision for us to seek your support. From my end, as the parent, I found that you have communicated very clearly and consistently with me which I really appreciated. It was helpful and always constructive. You are an excellent French tutor with a fantastic experience. Thank you very much

Laurence has tutored both of my daughters: one for GCSE Spanish and one for Year 10 French. We were extremely delighted and surprised with the progress that our elder daughter made with Laurence, as well as being very happy with the grade that she achieved. I know that Laurence can take credit for my daughter's improvement as she has brilliant subject knowledge and a fantastic teaching style. My younger daughter loves working with Laurence as she is patient, kind, efficient and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend Laurence as a tutor.

Laurence has been technically my 8 yer old son Spanish. He is happy having his lessons with her on line. Laurence has a nice friendly manner and is good teaching children. Her lessons are interactive and fun. I would highly recommend Laurence.

Laurence has been excellent in helping my child with revision for exams. They felt she has been encouraging, kind and helpful. I feel like she has been thorough with assessing needs. Her manner is positive and she has taken an intelligent approach adapting as she saw was required. I would definitely recommend Lawrence and will be asking for more sessions.

Really lovely teacher. Thank you !

Laurence is one of the kindest teachers we have ever met. She is so caring and loving to your child and highly experienced in her French and Spanish subject domain. She is very professional and strives to do things to perfection. We look forward to contacting you soon, next time!

I just wanted to write and say how impressed we have been with Laurence. She has been tutoring our daughter for a few weeks now and it has been a pleasure to see her confidence in French increasing in bounds. Laurence has been flexible & helpful, whilst improving our daughter's understanding and ability enormously. She is an incredibly kind and patient tutor but is also completely willing to push her students to their full capability. Initially we thought her fee level to be quite high, but I can only now say that she is worth every penny !!

Fantastic tutor. My son really enjoys his A level sessions and has really seen the benefit of tutoring from Laurence. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for an amazing Spanish tutor who is also an exceptionally kind and caring human being, then look no further! We reached out to Laurence after our son had lost all confidence in his learning and Laurence quickly reassured us. Right from the very first lesson, our son was feeling very much reconnected and engaged with his A-level Spanish. He always looks forward to his lessons with Laurence and especially enjoys her enthusiastic, focused but caring way of teaching. He has become confident in using techniques and processes that he hasn't grasped so well in school. Needless to say that our son's confidence in his A-level Spanish has flourished and he is back on track with his learning. I think Laurence's uniqueness as a tutor comes from her incredible knowledge and expertise, her absolute professionalism, all counterbalanced with a very warm, friendly and exceptionally caring personality. She is truly one in a million and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Laurence is a great tutor! She really cares for her students and does everything possible to ensure they achieve their goals. Thank you!

We haven't known Laurence for very long but so far, her communications have been quick and efficient. She has given excellent advice to Hugo and I feel confident that she is giving Hugo the best preparation he could have prior to the exams. Would recommend.

Laurence is a truly excellent teacher who has provided invaluable support, encouragement and A level tuition for our daughter. She has provided good handout material to enhance teaching at her home and she is kind, caring and empathetic to student needs. Recommended.

Laurence arranged a telephone call to explain her background and ask about my daughter's background. Her experience was excellent and she was caring and engaged with our requirements. She has arranged a follow-up zoom call to meet my daughter. She was prepared to be flexible.

Laurence is an enthusiastic and knowledgable tutor who has enhanced my French and Spanish through suitable tasks and resources. Thank you Laurence!

Laurence is an excellent tutor. She is very organised, friendly and knowledgable about the syllabus. Her lessons are carefully planned and structured to accommodate my daughter and ultimately help her achieve her goals. She also follows up by email after each lesson to give us the notes from the lesson.

We are so happy with how our Daughter has gained so much more confidence in herself since being tutored by Laurence in a safe and welcoming environment. I can throughly recommend Laurence to anyone looking for a tutor.

I asked Luke to describe his tutor and the first thing he said was “excellent !“ Luke has grown in confidence and ability after just half a term with Laurence, she is extremely knowledgeable always well prepared and very friendly, I believe any child would be fortunate to have a tutor as good as Laurence and have no hesitation in recommending her

Laurence has been tutoring our daughter for a few weeks now but it’s starting to make a difference and more importantly t’s helped raise my daughters confidence with A level Spanish. She is organised, professional and includes me in copies of all emails so I can see what they’ve covered at each lesson.

Well the first thing to say is that both my children love Laurence. When I say to them they have a French lesson today they are excited. I am not quite sure how she has managed to muster that much enthusiasm out of them for learning French, but it makes their learning experience great. From the first lesson I could see that Laurence had put a lot of work into her lesson plan, she is very organised and has set out a plan going forward. They have both progressed very quickly and have become much more confident. We are very happy with Laurence and I would definitely recommend her.

We feel very lucky to have found Laurence and been able to secure her for our ongoing tutor requirements. My daughter is in her final A Level year and with Laurence's assistance, this is going to be her best year yet. Laurence has so far worked with my daughter for her bridging work over the summer to great effect and we will most certainly be continuing with Laurence until the A Level exam times. She is always on time, wonderful to work with and has pushed my daughter to become as good as possible in such a short space of time. Over the next 9 months or so, this will only keep getting better and better. Laurence has provided excellent feedback about how the lessons are progressing and what is good and what needs more attention - couldn't ask for more! Thank you.

Laurence is currently teaching my son (y10) French, and my daughter (y9) Spanish. My son told me he finally understands grammar and how to write accurately, and my daughter's confidence has massively improved. She has found through Laurence the motivation she needed. She is so keen to learn and discover more. No more stuggle for any of them, just learning with enthousiasm. I am so happy I found Laurence. She is such a faboulous teacher, a true professional. Thank you so much, Laurence.

My daughter is making good progress. Laurence has a friendly and helpful approach, which is enabling my daughter to improve her French and get more confident. I can’t recommend Laurence enough. Every lesson is engaging, well structured and fun to cover the areas that my daughter needs to improve.

My French was extremely rusty having not used it for many years. I was looking for a refresher course with a native speaker as my job entails working with many French people and it is somewhat embarrassing to expect them to speak English all the time. Laurence quickly assessed my capability and pitches the the lessons perfectly to my needs. My pronunciation has improved massively (according to my French colleagues) as well as my vocabulary and I feel much more confident in speaking the language thanks to Laurence's encouraging approach. Laurence is clearly a very experienced teacher with extensive knowledge of French language and culture and her sense of humour also makes the lessons great fun. I have been inspired to pursue my studies further and would highly recommend Laurence as a tutor to anyone looking to improve their French language skills.

Laurence was really prompt to respond to my initial enquiry and very professional. My daughter connected instantly with her and enjoyed her first lesson so much that we have signed up for further lessons with Laurence to assist her in preparation for GCSE Spanish.
