Honor Starling

I integrate reading, writing, listening, and speaking practice in my teaching, as I believe all four are essential for achieving a comprehensive understanding of a language. Having studied French and Spanish at one of the top universities in the country for modern languages, the University of Bristol, I found this approach to be the most effective for advancing while mastering key grammar, spelling, and pronunciation skills.

In Spain, I taught English and Spanish to children aged 9 to 13, ensuring they had a strong grasp of the basics before progressing to more advanced topics. Building a solid foundation is the key for further language learning, I believe.

Additionally, I taught Latin to primary school children which consisted of lesson planning, fun vocabulary tests, and grammar exercises, while keeping the classes interactive. I strive to make my lessons enjoyable and engaging by incorporating a variety of activities, fostering a positive learning experience as students develop their language skills.

I am open to teaching all levels of French or Spanish (or both!) to anyone who is keen to learn more!
