A LANGUAGE tutor has been rewarded for the quality of the lessons and teaching that she provides to local children in the area.

Sophie Gaxatte, from Leigh, with her team of tutors, teaches extra curricular French and Spanish classes, to nursery and primary children, through the award-winning La Jolie Ronde programmes.

Sophie was honoured with the much-coveted La Jolie Ronde Licensee of the Year Award.

She said: “I am delighted to have been presented with this award. It’s a real honour and great to be recognised.

“The classes are fun and my pupils are learning a lot. It’s wonderful to see the children making such excellent progress and to see them chatting in French and Spanish, so confidently, is a real bonus.”
