Qualified, dedicated and experienced modern languages teacher. I teach EYFS, primary, secondary, GCSE and A’Level

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal?

I am an experienced, dedicated and fully qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher (QTS & PGCE) with a passion for helping students build confidence and achieve their full potential in languages.
I offer Spanish tuition from beginner level through to A Level, and French tuition up to Key Stage 3.

I have been teaching for over 20 years but started tutoring over ten years ago, after having my third child. Tutoring allows me the flexibility for my own family and in turn the opportunity to dedicate my energy to a select number of students. I really love taking my students on their own individual journey to explore and learn the language.

I have taught pupils at primary, GCSE, AS and A'Level from all backgrounds. From grammar schools such as Beaconsfield Grammar, Watford Grammar, St Bernard's Grammar and also those at top UK independent schools: St Augustine’s Priory, St Helen’s, Haberdasher’s Girls’ School, North London Collegiate, John Lyon and The Royal Masonic, are just some examples.
I have also worked in secondary and primary schools in and around London. My last post was in Nower Hill High School in Harrow.

I have experience teaching the following examination boards: AQA, Edexcel, Edexcel iGCSE and Cambridge iGCSE.

In every lesson we use the four key language skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing and follow the national curriculum MFL programme of study, very closely. Lessons are varied, fun and focus on areas that the student might need extra work on.

I also focus on exam preparation, I have accumulated a wide variety of resources and past exam papers over the years to prepare my students for their exams. In my lessons we also focus on grammar: covering the present, preterite, imperfect, perfect, future, conditional and the subjunctive. When to use por/para, ser/estar, etc. For vocabulary learning, I use Quizlet to help with this, and regularly set vocabulary learning as homework.
