Advert description
I have 25 years experience teaching French up to A-Level and Key Stage 3 Italian and Spanish at James Allen's Girls' School (Voted London's Top Independent School of the Year in 2023) and Worth School.
I have a First Class Honours Degree in French and Italian, A* A-Level Spanish and a PGCE in secondary education. I also taught online for 2 years to large and small groups as well as one to one private lessons in person and online.
I have consistently achieved excellent grades for my students throughout my career. I prepare lessons tailored to the individual with a variety of fast paced, enjoyable activities to keep pupils engaged and ensure they progress quickly. I use the latest authentic audio visual resources to accelerate learning and encourage spontaneous language use throughout the lesson. I ensure my students have all the vocabulary, grammatical structures, speaking, writing, listening and reading skills necessary for success. At GCSE and A-Level I do lots of practice examination style questions with my pupils to build their confidence and ensure they master the technique under the pressure of examinations.
I also love to incorporate culture into my lessons at all levels, including Art, Music, History, Cinema, Gastronomy and more. I have lived in both France and Italy. I enjoy travelling, keeping fit, volunteer work and sketching.
