Barbara Marchetti

In a few words: dynamic, efficient, bespoke and fun!

A confident learner is a successful learner and that confidence is crucial. I will encourage, not humiliate, you can be confident and not afraid to make mistakes.

I teach lessons that are truly tailor made to my student. The way I teach will be informed by them and their ability, the way I might even ask the questions, are all driven by that ability, and where they are in their development of the language.

You won’t get bored, I promise! I help my students create interest in the subject by making it relate to practical situations or relevant examples. I use lots of interactive tools such as, whiteboard for power point presentation, showing images, pdf file, word file, youtube video & animation video.

Teaching is a two way process so expect questions. Lots and lot of questions. If any stumbling blocks have been encountered I will use a range of questioning techniques to get to the bottom of the problem. Once identified bridges will be built, and firm foundations laid, on which to build even more knowledge.

I aim to do much more than just increase grades however. I aim to inspire, increase confidence and show that learning a new language is something fun.
