Meet The Teachers
Nina Roberts
Salut, my name is Nina, originally from Southwest Germany, not too far from the French border, where I grew up. I have a degree in Education with Psychology and English from the Technical University in Darmstadt. I have been in the UK for over 15 years and have always taught French alongside German because I simply love the French language.
When I arrived in the UK in 2006 I first worked as a German FLA (Foreign Language Assistant) in two schools in Doncaster and subsequently qualified to teach in secondary schools in 2008. I now work as a self-employed languages tutor to enable me to spend more time with my family. I joined the Modern Language School in autumn 2013 and really enjoy teaching and learning here.
As well as spending time with my family I enjoy reading, music and hiking. I am also learning Italian with Vicky. This is great fun and a useful reminder of what it is like to sit on the other side of the classroom in the student’s role.
Melodie Golton
Salut! My name is Melodie Golton and I teach French at the Modern Language School.
I enjoy teaching French, having studied both French and German at university (Bachelors 2:1) and am passionate about sharing my love of languages and knowledge of Francophone culture. I have a particular interest in French cinema and naturally, French food and drink!
I’ve been fortunate enough to live and work in France as an English teacher in Strasbourg and Brive-la-Gaillarde as well as spending time at my Grandparents in the French Alps.
I understand how daunting language learning can be, having written a Master’s thesis on speaking anxiety when speaking French, and so endeavour to make classes as fun, accessible and interesting as possible so you can feel at ease and ready to learn. I’ve taught students between the ages of 4 and 80 of a variety of different nationalities and would love to welcome you to my class and help you discover the joys of the French language, Francophone culture and of being able to connect with the many French speakers around the world!
