My lessons are dynamic, interactive, and fully tailored to each student's goals, whether you're learning French or Spanish for travel, academic success, professional development, or personal interest. I offer online one-to-one or small group sessions via Zoom or Google Meet, combining conversation practice, grammar, vocabulary building, listening exercises, and cultural immersion.

Each lesson is designed to develop all key language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—while placing a strong focus on communication and real-world usage. I use a variety of resources including custom slides, audio clips, articles, games, and real-life scenarios to keep lessons engaging and practical. You’ll receive clear feedback and regular progress updates, with optional homework and revision tasks to reinforce your learning between sessions.

With a BA in Modern Foreign Languages (specialising in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Catalan) and an MA in International Relations, I bring both academic knowledge and real-world experience to the classroom. I’ve worked as a freelance translator, interpreter, and language tutor since 2019, and have taught university students through conversational classes focused on fluency, pronunciation, and cultural understanding.

My background in cross-cultural communication and European studies adds depth to the lessons, helping you not only speak the language but understand its context. I aim to create a friendly, encouraging environment where mistakes are part of the learning process and confidence builds naturally.

Whether you're a complete beginner or an advanced learner, I’ll help you achieve your language goals with structure, support, and a passion for teaching.
