Meet May

Bonjour! I’m May, the founder of Time4Languages.
I’m a native French speaker, born and educated in France. My parents are from Ghana, so I grew up in a warm, multicultural home where languages were part of everyday life — and that’s where my love for sharing them truly began.

I trained in the UK as a qualified Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) teacher, and I’ve taught in secondary schools across the UK. Today, I focus on online lessons, creating a friendly and supportive space where young learners can thrive. My sessions are fun, interactive, and designed to help students feel confident, capable, and excited about speaking French.

Alongside teaching, I also write French learning books to support children and teens on their language journey

Rated 5 out of 5

My daughter absolutely loves her French lessons with Time4Languages. She used to be so shy about speaking, but now she’s confident and even practices around the house! The lessons are engaging, fun, and really well structured.

The Mini French sessions have been amazing for my little one. The songs and games keep her excited and she’s already using French words at home. Highly recommend!
