About Davina
My name is Davina. I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up in a French speaking village in Switzerland with a French speaking mom and an English speaking dad. At school, I excelled in all languages which included French (my mother tongue), German, English and Latin. I am a grammar and spelling nerd and, having lived in English speaking countries since leaving school at the age of 18, I am now fully bilingual. I have always loved French but my love for it has kept growing over the years. It seems a natural progression for me to pass on my love for French and all things French to others and teach them how to speak and understand this beautiful language which is so descriptive and filled with such depth, color and poetry.

I believe that one can learn much by speaking a language and learning to use it in day-to-day conversation. I am therefore offering an hour of conversational French where will we chat about travel, work, hobbies and other interests while correcting any mistakes made and increasing vocabulary. It is very rewarding and motivating when one can start using a language and see progress straight away. Furthermore, spoken French is quite different from written French so learning to understand it and to reply is vital for effective communication. I am also happy to help with questions relating to grammar, spelling, conjugation and reading if necessary.

Perfect! I thoroughly enjoy my French conversational classes with Davina. We talk about everything and Davina corrects my grammar when necessary and makes suggestions on how to say phases differently instead of the way I speak, to “unlearn” my bad habits when speaking French. She also sends me exercises to practice my weak grammar through which I am improving my French grammar. She recommended a grammar book to refresh my French grammar as well as recommends films and apps that will assist me further to improve my French. I look forward to my lessons every week.
- Karina is a joy to teach. Her grasp of French is excellent. She is able to converse and understand really well. We are working on improving her use of grammar and avoiding common English mistakes.Davina's response :
Perfect! She is kind and easy to interact with.
She is passionate about her work and always gives her best. My son really enjoyed her teaching!Perfect! Lynne-Davina has been an excellent help in my French learning journey. She has a clear passion for languages and this shows in her enthusiasm and preparedness for each and every lesson. I have found our lessons to be extremely entertaining and enjoyable, but at the same time I always leave having learnt something new. I highly recommend her to anybody wanting a capable guide to the French language!
- Laurence is a bright and very capable student with a great study plan. He is motivated and I have no doubt he will master French in no time.Davina's response :

Perfect! Lynne-Davina has such great energy. I feel encouraged and supported. I know that she's invested in my improvement in French. She's fantastic to talk to and I've learned so much and grown in confidence in my speaking. She's ready to meet you at your level and is never short of resources and recommendations for where you're at. 11/10 recommend!
- Celine has a very good level of French. Her understanding of the language is excellent, her pronunciation and her ability to communicate in French are good. I'm looking forward to more chats in French so she can practice her communication skills.Davina's response :

Davina is a thoughtful and dedicated French teacher. She makes lessons fun and relevant to everyday life. She adapts her content to the needs of her students and is a positive, caring person. I highly recommend her as a French teacher.
Have schooled with Davina for more than a year; she is more than comfortable with remote teaching and has a unique ability to build confident fluency, subtly correcting where appropriate. Your French conversation and understanding will improve in leaps no matter where on the continuum of learning you start - I have no doubt. If Davina has space for you - jump at it!
Davina is a great teacher and lovely person. She has a great knowledge of languages, especially French and English. Every lesson is fun, with an upbeat and positive energy. I would definitely reccomend Davina to anyone looking to improve their language skills. 5 Stars!
Thanks to Lynne-Davina, I'm making much faster progress in learning French than I would have ever thought possible. I would gladly recommend her for anyone seeking to learn French at any level from basic to advanced.
Lynne-Davina is a great teacher, with three boys herself she understands how to interact with children and make it interesting. She’s trustworthy and reliable. French is her first language, you will have a better approach to the language and also the culture. I highly recommend her!
I was at High School with Davina and then she studied in Zurich to become a translator and interpreter from and to French and German. You need to have great skills to do this. At the same time, she was already bilingual in English since her childhood.
I would 100% recommend her as a French teacher as I remember she was among the best students of our High School in Switzerland.She's fabulous, I've known her family for about 20 years now and we always talk to each other in French. She's definitely a native French speaker and just an all-around lovely person, you'll enjoy getting to know her!
