We are so pleased that we found Laurence. She is an excellent tutor, and I would highly recommend her. My son genuinely enjoys his French lessons with Laurence, and her engaging teaching style has really helped to build both his confidence and understanding of the language. Thanks to her support, he is well on his way to achieving a Grade 8 or 9 in his GCSE French. We are extremely grateful for all her hard work and dedication.

Working with Laurence has been an absolute delight. She is a fantastic tutor, extremely thorough and dedicated, and approaches every hard-working session with energy and positivity that makes it a joy to learn with her. She has given a huge amount of support and encouragement to my daughter, really boosting her confidence and helping her to achieve well and believe in herself. I can't thank Laurence enough and would highly recommend her to anyone.

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.
