About Salima
I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from Southampton University where I lived for 9 years. I taught in Southampton schools, a very reputed Winchester sixth form college and in Portsmouth. I've lived in Dubai for 15 years and taught mainly A level and IB French in many International schools as well as in one of the most popular French curriculum school.
I now tutor each day and my students come from very reputed IB, British Schools in Dubai and over the years I became an expert in the French DNB ( Brevet) which French students take in 3eme ( Year 11). I help them progress in French literature, as well as Maths, Physics/ Chemistry and preparation of the Oral examination.
In my previous life, I worked as a financial advisor in the UK and have also been teaching Business French and Business English to employees of reputed International companies like Total and General Electric, via Alliance Francaise.
My passions are Badminton, swimming, parties with friends, travelling, and spending time with my two lovely boys.

My teaching approach to A Level and IB French emphasizes communication, cultural awareness, and exam success. I create interactive lessons where teenagers actively engage through debates, role-plays, authentic texts, and multimedia resources. Grammar and vocabulary are taught in context, fostering both fluency and accuracy. I adapt strategies to different learning styles, encouraging critical thinking and independent study skills essential for higher-level assessments. Regular formative feedback, exam practice, and reflective activities build confidence and resilience. By combining academic rigor with creativity and real-world relevance, I help students develop not only language proficiency but also a genuine passion for French.
I have students from France, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and lately even Australia. So, wherever you are in the planet, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am looking forward to starting this learning journey with you! ;)

I loved her teaching style from lesson 1!
She knows how to make you super comfortable and not shy to talk in a foreign language. Really appreciate all your effort and dedication. Your lessons are always so well planned and you seem to do it so easily and naturally. It ales me want to be a language teacher in the future!
It is not easy to find a professional and experienced tutor who knows exactly how to make students progress lesson after lesson. Im feel really lucky Ive found Salima for my daughters this years who needed a boost with their IB HL French.
They now feel super confident for the exam, and know exactly what areas they need to improve on.If only I had miss Salima as a French or English teacher back at school! Very dynamic, fun, passionate, resourceful and so knowledgeable. She varies the activities from speking to reading and writing to vocab games then listening tasks and 1h feels like 10mn. Salima teaches with such enthusiam that it gets contagious! I finally feel I get it when she teaches me grammar I Highly recommend her.
Nice and very pro teacher
Very professional, Salima goes beyond what was expected. She helped my son regain confidence in the language after 2 years not practicing. She also helped with exam tips and his UCAS university personnal statement to apply for universtities in the uk.
I've tried many Business English tutors before, but Salima is by far the best. Inspiring, dynamic, and always makes me feel confident in speaking although my accent is still to be improved. I 'm not shy to express myself, give my opinions as she always adapts her class for me. You' ll see, she great!
Salima makes every class engaging. She was extremely patient and supportive with Baha who has some learning difficulties. She knew how to adapt perfectly to his needs from the first lesson, and kept him motivated week after week.
Learning French online with Salima has been an amazing experience for my daughter Elena. I'm so grateful for her passion and guidance these last two years.
Thanks to her energy and hard work, Elena got the A* she needed at the A level French and could go to her first choice university in London. We couldn't expect a more professional and experienced teacher, with such a great humor on top!Thanks Salima for making every class for my son so engaging, productive and full of energy ;)
Every lesson is a pleasure, I know he will learn so much while feeling a real progression in speaking and writing.Salima is truly a pro! Her teaching style is interactive and really fun, and my progress has been surprisingly fast. You can feel she has so many years teaching experience, and she is always so positive and enthusiastic form the start to end of our lesson. Merci madame!
