About Farida Dekhar

I'm a multilingual tutor, accredited business coach and language specialist with 25+ years' experience across preschool, primary, further education and corporate training. I've taught learners from age 3 through to senior professionals — including corporate clients at organisations such as Linklaters, Freshfields, the European Banking Authority and the European Investment Fund — and coached candidates through DELF, DALF, TEF, TCF and IELTS exams.

My approach combines innovative teaching methods, technology-enhanced and blended learning, and personalised mentoring to create engaging, effective learning experiences. My own entrepreneurial background running a business has shaped a coaching style that's practical, results-focused and grounded in real-world experience.

What clients & students say

Real feedback from the professionals, students and organisations I've worked with.

“

Farida is a brilliant language teacher. I have been learning French with her for 4 years now and my progress is more than I'd ever thought I could achieve. She always ensures that you have understood a new topic fully. I'd absolutely recommend Farida to anyone who is taking up French!

Jacky WaghornPrivate student, 4+ years

“

Being able to teach people of all levels, age and ability is a great skill — and one Farida has in spades. She has made our lessons varied, thoughtful, informative and enjoyable. Anyone who can make the subjonctif fun deserves the highest praise!

I used the services of Languages for Business to train young lawyers in French legal vocabulary. The result is perfect. The training and follow-up is professional and attentive. I can only recommend them!

Farida is an excellent teacher with a deep knowledge of French and a way of making learning fun. She understands your strengths and weaknesses and structures the learning so that you don't realise you're improving until you look back.

Geoff CoochPrivate student

I have been an adult student learning French with Farida for a few years. Her ability, willingness, patience and adaptability to match my personal learning needs have been invaluable.

Denise ParkerPrivate student

Farida was recommended to me by a family member, what a fantastic recommendation she is. She is very patient and takes time to explain the subject. I thoroughly recommend Farida, whatever your ultimate goal.
