“Craig has worked freelance for Findlay English Tutorials for around twelve months. He has taught French to the great satisfaction of myself, the students’ parents, and, most importantly, the students. I know he has studied very diligently for his TEFL qualifications and is a very approachable man whom the students trust and enjoy working with. He is capable of working with different age groups and abilities.”

“Mr. Craig teaches with great dedication and passion. His lessons are engaging, well-structured, and adapted to the children’s age and level. He has a wonderful ability to encourage students to speak French with confidence, helping them build both language skills and self-esteem. My child genuinely enjoys the lessons and has made noticeable progress. Craig is patient, kind, and very well organised. He creates a friendly and supportive atmosphere where children feel comfortable and motivated to learn. I confidently recommend Mr. Craig McCombie to any parent looking for a reliable, committed, and inspiring French teacher for their child.”

“I worked alongside Craig for 2 years in the Modern Foreign Languages Department of a secondary school in the Scottish Borders. Craig was responsible for teaching French and German to students from S1 to S6 and prepared them for National Qualifications — National 4, National 5 and both the old and new Higher exams. Craig had the added responsibility of ‘fleshing out’ a course for the new Higher German course which he later delivered. I admired Craig for his hard work and creativity — the latter evidenced in the original digital materials he prepared himself. I counted myself fortunate to work with him as he taught me much and helped me improve my own ICT skills. Craig was always well prepared and well organised. He was popular with both students and colleagues alike.”
