Pippa Bunkall

I’m Pippa Bunkall, a passionate and qualified French tutor based in Teddington, London. With a PGCE in Secondary Modern Languages and years of experience teaching French, I specialise in helping students of all ages and abilities build confidence and achieve their goals. My journey with French began in childhood—living in Brussels for five years sparked a lifelong love for the language, which I later deepened during my degree in Bordeaux. Whether you’re an adult looking to learn for travel, a GCSE student preparing for exams, or a primary school child exploring French for the first time, I tailor every lesson to your needs. My approach is relaxed yet focused, using interactive activities like games, films, and even cooking sessions to make learning engaging and enjoyable. I teach around my kitchen table or in the garden, creating a calm and supportive environment where mistakes are part of the process. As a parent of teenagers, I understand the pressures of exams and the importance of making learning fun. My lessons cover listening, speaking, and reading, with resources like YouTube clips and text books to suit different learning styles. Whether you’re brushing up on holiday French, preparing for a speaking exam, or simply want to enjoy the language, I’m here to help you succeed. Based in Teddington, I offer flexible tuition for individuals and small groups, ensuring every student gets the attention they deserve.
