Maria was very efficient and responded immediately. She did an excellent job in understanding the background to the subject matter and handling the simultaneous translation. I shall certainly use her again and can recommend her. More...

Anika Donkor
Ms Cryan is a fantastic and committed educator. Students don't just learn the language, also their confidence is boosted through learning with her. My sons have developed a deeper interest for French and have made significant improvements both in vocabulary and grammar. Highly recommended. More...

Mirella Cronin
Maria tutored my daughter for her French GCSE. I always found her to be professional & very patient. She really supported & encouraged her and equipped her with the tools she needed to achieve a fantastic grade. I would fully recommend Maria, she’s an absolute pleasure to deal with and my daughter was very fond of her (she actually looked forward to her lessons) which was unbelievable because she didn’t enjoy learning French at all until Maria tutored her.

What do you love most about your job?
I am passionate about languages and I have always wanted to do a job that involves languages. I love sharing my knowledge with students and seeing them shining in their progress. I am fortunate to have a job I love. I love helping people and seeing the results. I’ve learned a lot about working with different types of customers and people from around the continent. I’ve enjoyed being able to help people directly over the phone and spread knowledge I’ve learned about our products.”
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always had a passion for languages. I was brought bilingual French/Portuguese in Paris. I wanted to learn more languages so I decided to study languages at the University of La Sorbonne since it's a very good university. I loved it so much that I looked for careers which would involve speaking the languages. I first started working for the Stock Exchange, enabling me to practice my languages with people around the world. I decided to get an interpreting qualification which allowed me to interprete in many settings. When I first came to England I was a French assistant at the University of Wolverhampton where I was able to teach students and create French courses for the English students. Since I have continued teaching enlarging my public and now I teach children and adults. I love to see my student shining in their learning!
