My name is Virginie and I have been a French and Spanish teacher in secondary schools for 7 years. I am head of my department in my current school and one of my main tasks is to design curriculums and schemes of learning. This has helped me reflect on how students learn best and how to adapt the lessons to their needs and strengths.
I was born and raised in France and I lived there until I was 21, when I moved to the UK to be a languages teacher. I learnt Spanish at home, as my dad is Spanish, and in school when I was studying.
I wanted to be a teacher to pass on my passion and love for languages to others, which allow us to appreciate and discover new cultures! Languages are very important to me and have allowed me to become more myself along the way, and I want to help young people to achieve their full potential as well.
Thanks to my teaching background, my lessons will be structured in a similar way as lessons in school, with the opportunity to be adapted to your needs and strengths. I also like to leave a tutoring session by giving an self-improvement task in order to consolidate the learning that took place. Within my job, I was able to develop various teaching techniques and strategies to help students from all backgrounds.
Finally, I have the most experience with AQA but also some with Pearson. However, I am happy to get accustomed to other various exam boards!
