• Language Solutions UK was founded in 2005 by Christine Allan after many years spent working as an interpreter, translator and private tutor in both her native France and Scotland. Christine now lives in Musselburgh, a seaside town about 5 miles East of Edinburgh, with her husband Keith Allan and their two sons.

  • "Teaching French has always fascinated me and I truly enjoy every minute of it as each student is different from the next, each with their own abilities, challenges and more importantly motivation for wanting to learn French"

By providing Translation & Interpreting Services as well as French tuition, Christine aims to make French more accessible to Scottish individuals and businesses and encourage relationships between France and Scotland whether for personal or professional purposes.
