Emilce Sandra Rees

I have been tutoring mainly private school pupils since 2005 in London, and my main subjects for Preparatory and Secondary schools have been French, Spanish, Italian and Latin (with a high degree of success). Students on the whole continue to study with me up to and including University. I also offer support for my tutees` academic English development, as many of my clients are from overseas (either boarding or studying in London during the summer). I have offered academic support in Linguistics (including English Literature) and the Humanities and Social Sciences, French, Spanish and Italian (language and literature) at University level (no student has ever failed, but I don’t write essays or promise a score/grade).
My experience for the secondary school sector ranges from the UK syllabus, to practice and training for SAT II (US university entrance) and IB (all levels). I have also tutored for IELTS and Cambridge Proficiency (London and abroad). In London I have offered support to students at the main universities and particularly where Linguistics and Modern languages are taught. My teaching experience (to select a few): Queen Mary College, University of London (French A level revision within the Widening Participation programme), English for Academic Purposes, at ENSSIB, Lyon, and at the University of Bielsko-Biala (via the Anglo Polish Universities Association). EFL: Oxford Language Centre and the Elizabeth Johnson Foundation (Oxford, Reading and Royal Holloway, UK), Instituto Superior de Idiomas and Instituto Ideas (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

I try my utmost to accommodate all my students (including weekends) with no extra charge. Please bear in mind that as I tutor at family`s homes, I need time to travel around London (and further afield if needed).

I don`t take many tutees per year, around ten, but those I do accept are with me for the long term. I expect commitment and give it back.

All cancellations on the day of the tutorial incur a charge. This is not “to punish” the student, but to avoid turning students away in busy periods.

Approaches for Linguistics. Hourly rate is negotiable but in accordance with qualifications and experience. I am here in the holidays if you need revision tutorials for take-away papers and final exams.

In busy periods (summer exam time/Xmas/Easter) if you cancel, your slot will automatically be assigned to another student.

For those applying to University, I can offer you informal advice on the university sector, and help you with your application forms, and interview practice.
