Meet the Tutors
Frédérique
I know first-hand what the right support can do for a young learner. Over eight years of tutoring and a degree built around education have shaped my approach: give pupils the right tools, the right environment, and the confidence to reach any goal they set for themselves.

As a child, school was never easy for me. It always seemed like I was a few steps behind everyone else and I often felt like perhaps I wasn’t good enough. In secondary school, I went to a summer school and started having lessons with a tutor. These were game changers for me! I quickly realised that with a structure, a calm environment and the appropriate tools, I could reach any goals I’d set for myself.
Today, with more than 8 years experience in the tuition field and a degree tailored for tutoring (including a 1:1 in CertHE Psychology), my vision is to help children thrive to their full potential. Through the years, I’ve learned that the key to successful learning is by giving my students the tools they need, to then provide guidance and encouragement throughout their journey.
I feel fortunate every day to provide children and teenagers the space to succeed—the very space I wish I had for myself, and the reason why I founded The Study Studio.
I’ve been living in London for more than 8 years, and I adore this city! I love cycling, doing yoga, knitting, reading and going for long walks. I am organised, hard-working, but I’d say my best qualities as a tutor are my warmth and my sense of humour (I’ve heard!).

For me, learning is a conversation, not a lecture. I combine academic rigour with playfulness, and a deep love of literature and theatre, to create sessions where students feel confident, curious and genuinely engaged.

Who said that studying had to be boring?
Both culture and literature are vectors of sharing. I place at the heart of my pedagogy this passion that I have, in order to cultivate it, along with my pupils. Learning mustn't become a chore, on the contrary, it has to be a source of curiosity, of pleasure, and even fun! I am strongly convinced that learning is a true collaboration and a dialogue between a teacher and their student : a teacher brings their knowledge of course, but a child always takes a young look and perspective, often refreshing and always enriching.
I also believe that literature is a fundamental tool for learning and I deeply care about communicating this feeling with my students (by making literature appealing and engaging again!). I always combine interactivity and playfulness with academia and theory.
As theatre has played an important part in my life, I put it to good use in my lessons so that my students gain assurance and confidence.
My many years of experience as a tutor and as a bookseller have put many children from all around the world on my path. I am so grateful to have met so many different personalities and I am looking forward to continuing this journey of growth and progression!
