Private Tutoring

Having trained as a CELTA teacher in 2006, I have taught for over 10 years in Spain, London, and at the British Council Paris, France's most prestigious language school. I have taught ages 5 to adult, from absolute beginner to proficiency, in private schools, homes and businesses. Please see below for some of my student testimonials:

​

"Sophie was a wonderful English teacher for my 9 year old son. He is half British and half French but he needed help especially with his writing and he improved a lot with her methods. He did a lot of oral and written exercises , but also a good deal of very creative work such as writing stories and taking part in a writing contest. As a result he gets the best marks in his class at the moment ! If Sophie was still in Paris, I would certainly ask her again to give lessons to my son." Christel Muller, Paris

​

"I was Sophie's Line Manager at the British Council Paris, during which time I observed her teaching several times. She proved on each occasion to be an excellent teacher who made the profession look easy. In the classroom, she has a very calm and supportive manner which meant even the most challenging students responded to her methods well. She had a full teaching schedule which means teaching Primary, Secondary and Adults and she excelled at all of them. Furthermore, as a colleague she was very well respected and played a very active role in the teaching centre. This included mentoring a newer teacher who was struggling with some of her classes. Feedback from her students and colleagues was overwhelmingly positive and she was a great loss to our centre when she decided to pursue a new challenge back in the UK." Ian Kitching, Paris

​

"Sophie McVeigh was my teacher at British Council in Paris during three years from 2012 until 2015. During that period, I could always appreciate her outstanding qualities as a teacher: patient, dynamic, very helpful when a member of the group needed some specific help. I can say Sophie is the best English teacher I have ever had.Sophie accepted to give private lessons to my children who needed to improve their English before attending a Summer Camp in Canada. I must say they really enjoyed the time they spent with her and they were much more confident after just a few lessons with Sophie." Clara Moressa, Paris

​

"I am so fortunate to have had English lessons with Sophie in Spain before moving to England, my level of English and grammar has improved greatly to the point I can confidently say my English and grammar is far greater than many English speaking friends ;) One of her greatest assets was her creativity in the classroom making education fun for us!I would strongly recommend Sophie because of her positive attitude and willingness to teach. Gracias Sophie!" Julia Rodrigez, Seville

​

"I have made a lot of progress in English thanks to Sophie. She was very kind and attentive to my needs and my difficulties. I got good grades and I developed my fluency and understanding of spoken English."

Pierre Bergeras, Paris

​

"Probably the best experience I've ever had with learning!

Olivier Neyt, Paris

Sophie was creative enough to adapt her teaching to my way of learning, it allowed me to quickly make a lot of progress. I enjoyed her private lessons for a year. The purpose was to speak English and now I do, with confidence and pleasure!"
