Personal Description:

I am a qualified English language teacher with a passion for languages, and over 10 years' experience of teaching. I have a languages/humanities degree from the University of Oxford. This included the study of languages, literature, linguistics and history.

Because I have learnt French, Italian and Spanish to fluency, as well as Latin and Ancient Greek to degree level, I know the difficulties, frustrations and joys of learning a language! I have an excellent knowledge of grammar and nuance of language.

I have taught and am available to teach English, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin and Ancient Greek, both in person and online. I am also available to give lessons and help in Classical Civilisation and Ancient History, as well as English Language and English Literature. My account on First Tutors Academic gives more information about these subjects.

I am happy to take on students for regular sessions over a period of time. I am also available for sessions for a shorter period, to prepare in the run-up to exams.

Teaching Experience:

I have taught both adults and children, in summer schools, in companies and at home, individually, in small groups and in larger classes. My pupils have been all levels, from beginners to advanced. I have also prepared pupils for Cambridge and Trinity exams.

I have experience in helping pupils prepare for GCSE and A-Levels in English Literature, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin. I have also taught Classical Civilisation to children and adults and helped them prepare for exams.

Teaching Approach:

It is my aim to help you, as the student, achieve your goals and more than you thought possible. I appreciate that choosing the right tutor is a difficult process and decision, so you might want to have a look at testimonials from my students below.

My lessons are tailored to suit the learner; generally, we concentrate on speaking and functional language, allowing the learner to communicate in day-to-day situations.

I try to make the lessons fun and interesting! I also believe that seeing the links between different languages can help make learning a new one easier, so I point out the similarities in any grammar or vocabulary which are useful and relevant to the student.

A follow-up report is provided after the lesson, detailing what has been covered and any vocabulary and grammar that came up in the lesson that the student might want to review.
