I am a UK-qualified teacher with 15 years of experience teaching Spanish and French, up to advanced level. I have taught in primary and secondary schools in the UK and abroad, as well as providing private tuition. I have lived in both France and Spain and also studied at La Sorbonne University in Paris. In addition to my degree in Modern Languages, I also hold advanced-level qualifications in French DALF and Spanish DELE, having achieved full marks in the speaking components of both exams.

Alongside my teaching experience, I have also worked in French and Spanish business environments, so I understand how languages are used in the real world, not just in the classroom. I also have a criminal records check for your peace of mind.

I have taught students ranging from 3 to 75 years old, both in the UK and Spain. My experience includes teaching in primary and secondary British schools, a private school in Spain and providing private tuition online.

I have extensive experience helping GCSE and A-Level students in French and Spanish, from those aiming for the highest grades to those who are struggling and need support and confidence to achieve a pass. I am very familiar with the main exam boards, particularly AQA.

I also have experience teaching adults working towards French DELF and Spanish DELE exams, as well as those learning for conversational, business or leisure purposes.

I provide all the resources needed, so there is no need to purchase any additional materials.

I offer a wide range of resources for all ages and levels. I like to get to know my students and adapt the content and style of my lessons to suit their needs and interests.

My lessons are friendly, fun and well-structured, with a variety of activities to keep them engaging and relevant. I can also set homework if you wish and provide weekly feedback.

Having learnt several languages myself, I understand the difficulties involved in learning a foreign language. I find that this also helps me explain grammar clearly, make comparisons between languages and help students understand why things work the way they do.

I always chat with new students beforehand to find out what they would like to focus on and plan lessons accordingly. I am positive and encouraging when correcting mistakes, and I want my students to enjoy their lessons, feel a sense of achievement and build confidence.
