Lydia Pilkington

I offer French tutoring to all ages. Having moved from the UK to Belgium as a young child, I am bilingual in French and English. I was educated in local French-speaking schools in Brussels.

I have previously tutored French to primary and secondary school ages. I am seeking to encourage and assist pupils to enjoy and achieve in their education, whilst creating an enjoyable, rewarding experience for both tutee and tutor. I have a very caring, yet practical approach to language tuition.

Whilst at school in Brussels, I won prizes for top grades across Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Latin. At university in Birmingham, I went on to receive the Head of School’s Commendation three years in a row, recognising students with the top 10% of grades across all undergraduate programmes. I have a very strong work ethic that I bring to tutoring and all the work I do.

I interact with children and young adults in an understanding, energetic and fun manner and love to experience the joy that comes from expressing yourself and being understood in another language!
