Experienced EFL, French & Spanish private tutor!

As a TEFL/TESOL-certified English tutor and graduate of English Literature and French from the University of Liverpool, I have always had a passion for languages and literature. After teaching in France for a year as an English Language Teaching Assistant, I graduated with an Upper Second and a Distinction in spoken French. After university, I have pursued a career in publishing in London, working across a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles for Hachette (the second largest publisher in Europe, publishing the likes of J. K. Rowling, David Mitchell and Donna Tartt) in order to follow my love of all things book related. I am currently working as a Production Editor for Springer Nature, the world's largest publisher of academic journals. I was also a recipient of the Print Futures Award in 2018 and received funding to study advanced proofreading and copy-editing courses with the Society for Editors and Proofreaders, where I completed my qualifications in 2019. I can proofread your academic assignments and help you finesse them to achieve top marks. A second pair of eyes can be so beneficial when you have been looking at your own written work for a long time, and I can comment on where you may need some help pulling the strands of your argument together.

I have a robust knowledge of grammar, spelling, a wide array of writing styles, English and American literature and French/Spanish language and culture. Through teaching in France, I gained great pedagogical experience in everything from one-on-one support sessions to large classes. I possess the know-how of what one needs to succeed in becoming a competent linguist, a fluent Francophile, Spanish fanatic and an avid lover of literature. I received an array of A*s and As in my own GCSEs and A Levels and would love to help students do the very best they can.
