If you’re concerned about your child’s academic progress, then I’m confident that I can help you. Your concerns may be down to your children:
• missing lessons due to the Covid-19 pandemic;
• having difficulty with a particular aspect of a syllabus;
• needing to improve results and grades.
I've established a reputation as a friendly, informal teacher whose cheerful and patient style helps even the most nervous and shy students. This enables them to relax, enjoy the lessons and make steady progress.
I joined the Government's National Tutoring ("Catch-up") Programme in 2020.
In recent years I've also taught a number of students with (mild) Special Education Needs, including autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia and cerebral palsy.
I've previously held memberships of both the Institute of Statisticians and the Society of Editors, so am well versed in both Numeracy and Literacy.

Hi there! I'm Emily and I'm really looking forward to being your tutor. I have been a teacher for more than 5 years and have experience in different schools teaching to all ages (from 7-18!). I have also been an Assistant Head of Year 9-10 which has helped me learn about children's needs, emotions and interests more so than you could ever imagine. I am a creative individual and I am always looking up, discussing and searching for great activity ideas that make learning something "dull" seem like a walk in the park. I really do believe in Einstein's famous quote: "...if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid". I think learning a language is like this. We often assume that everyone learns in the same way, and then become frustrated as teacher or learner when it doesn't work. But learning a language is not the same for everyone. Some might want to and pick up speaking tasks easily, others might prefer the calm of re-reading their work silently. This is why I always tailor my lessons to fit the child, and not the other way around. We will spend time discussing your likes and dislikes and your learning styles so that I can adapt my lesson style around YOU. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident and progress in the best possible way so that you feel proud about your achievements. Everyone can learn a language, they just need to find the right teaching style that suits them. As for me, well, I have first-hand experience of teaching in a classroom to children from aged 7-18. I have taught KS3 and KS4 French and Spanish as well as KS5 (A-Level) French. Therefore I have up-to-date knowledge of the AQA and Edexcel exam boards and have marked and moderated hundreds of exam papers. I am also going to be doing exam marking for Edexcel and AQA this spring / summer which will give even more comparison for exam scenarios. I have always strived to be the best version of myself and have sought the best possible results in myself and my students as possible. I love a challenge and whether it's pushing myself to create an interesting lesson, or learning the next piano piece for an exam, I am sure that my determined nature will work wonders with our tutoring sessions. I gained a Distinction in Modern Foreign Languages for my PGCE at the University of Bristol and have always scored highly in classroom observations. I gained the highest A-Level results in my school and this conscientiousness is a quality that has always pushed me to expect and want better in my life. I am not expecting every student to have this same motivation for language learning, but that's where I will help you get what they want out of your language learning journey. Book now to see how you really CAN learn a language, and you might even ENJOY www.*** !

I'm a native French speaker, hailing from Brittany and qualified as a teacher after receiving my degree from Paris-Sorbonne and my PGCE from Cambridge University.

I did my PGCE in German with French which involved the usual two teaching practices. I completed these in two comprehensive schools. Since gaining QTS in my first teaching job in 2005, I have taught German, French and Spanish in three secondary schools, all at Keystages 3, 4 and 5. I am currently employed teaching all three of these languages in an independent school.
I believe that, in the drive to raise pupil confidence in speaking and general communication, there has been a decline in rigorous grammar teaching. My feeling is that knowing the grammatical foundations of a language well, in the long run, provides a basis upon which to build and therefore facilitates more confident and accurate communication. I try to strike a balance between sound reinforcement of the fundamentals whilst nurturing curiosity in the learner to try things out, manipulating language across contexts. With German in particular I like to offer an insight into the culture of the country and my time living in Germany enables me to bring the language "out of the page". I really enjoy teaching and like to engage my pupils so that they feel comfortable to ask questions. I also inject a little humour into my delivery, which has enhanced my teaching and boosted relationships. Mine is a safe place for learners to develop.

Over 20 years' teaching experience and prior to that 10 years using languages in export and business. Excellent working knowledge and fluency in Spanish and French, both of which I continue to regularly enhance whilst still loving the opportunity to keep learning.
As a Team Leader and Examiner for both the major examination boards (AQA and Edexcel) for over 10 years, across the examined skills, I am well aware of the demands of the exams and how students can achieve their very best.
I have taught all year groups, from prep school to adults and the GCSE results my students have achieved have been consistently strong, with my pupils consistently getting higher than their predicted grade.
My focus is on making lessons fun whilst learning at the same time. I use a variety of teaching methods, personalised according to what the learner needs and how best they learn. The use of a variety of supporting material enables the whole experience to be enjoyable, engaging and productive.

I qualified in teaching primary school subjects and French at Homerton college Cambridge in 1976. I continued to teach in primary schools and went on to teach secondary French and German. After having a family I then qualified in TESOL to all age groups specialising in phonics and listening and speaking. Latterly, I have taught English and subject support to International students at a girl,s boarding school St George' s school, Ascot. I am keen to offer support to the National Tutoring program to help children who have missed out on their education due to lockdown. I am especially interested in becoming a Teaching Assistant and helping in teaching reading, writing and primary and GCSE French.
