Salut! My name is Raymond Butler and I look forward to being your tutor and helping you learn more about a language that has held my attention and been a passion of mine for many years.

My father was Associate Professor of French at Auckland University and my mother taught French at secondary school.

I graduated MA(Hons) in French from Auckland University and went to teach English in France, working at a school in the greater Paris region.

Upon returning to New Zealand, I began teaching English as a Second Language.

Learning a language is fun, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately rewarding when you can finally understand and communicate with others!
