Learn French with Parlons Français

Parlons Français is my brainchild asI literally love France and the French.  

As a sprightly 18 year old, I took a gap year before going to university.  This gap stretched somewhat as I took a little detour falling in love with a French man.  Now when you can argue in French, that's when you know you've really cracked it.  Aside from arguing, I was also fortunate enough to end up working for an amazing lawyer, at PriceWaterhouse, an experience which moulded my future in many ways.

So this was the way I grew up and so was really ready when I went to university to study.  I am still proud to this day to have been awarded a First Class BA (Hons), in European Marketing, and a Certificat Supérieur Marketing Ventes, studying in England at Leeds Beckett University, and France,  École de Management de Normandie.  

After this I embarked on a career in marketing where I met my wonderful husband, Andrew, who is South African.  We have 2 great boys whom I am loving being present with as their mother. But this has also enabled me to explore new avenues and I have been given this opportunity to share my love of French and France and to teach both children and adults.

"To future French Students,
 
I took French Lessons with Jo and apart from learning a language that is both beautiful and difficult to learn, I had a memorable experience.  Jo makes the lessons both interesting and entertaining and because she loves the language so much, she teaches in a way that makes you want to learn to speak this beautiful language.  I would definitely recommend her as a tutor."

Cheryl Williams, South African mother with son living in France

"Dear Jo, Thank you so much for teaching me and I am probably the best in the class thanks to you."
