With over a decade working in education and private tuition, I have extensive experience in preparing students for National exams. Academically, I focus on English Language and Literature, French and Spanish. I also have a wealth of experience in successfully preparing students for the Foundation Tier Maths exam.
At GCSE and IGCSE level I have experience teaching all of the major exam boards including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, WJEC, CIE and OCR. There isn't a great deal of variation between the different boards in terms of content as GCSE level is largely standardised. Nevertheless it does help to be familiar with the variation in the emphasis of a particular syllabus and the format of the exam paper.
I hold a BA and MA in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford. I found the tutorial experience offered at Oxord University to be a revelatory way of learning and so when beginning my career in education, from an early stage, this became the route I decided to pursue.
In my teaching and tuition career I have work with many of the most reputable tuition agencies in the UK and overseas, specifically the Profs (UK), Modelex (Monaco) and Living Learning English (UK). All three are industry-leading, award-winning agencies with rigorous selection criteria for their academic tutors and the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. In addition to working with these agencies, as an individual tutor I'm a full-member of the National Tutors' Association, the national body upholding standards of professionalism and ethics within the UK Tuition industry.

Targeted for GCSE French students. My lessons tailor to individual learning needs of my students within the 4 language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Attention will also be given to pronunciation, an aspect that school children need much chance to work on. Objectives are to strengthen their base while filling in gaps in their knowledge. Lessons will be injected with extra material on language knowledge and interest facts on French cultural to liven the study.
I worked in schools for more than 20 years. Apart from being a subject teacher I also run an in-school language centre. Finding out students' ability and catering to their learning needs is my strength. I love to see them overcoming obstacles and excel in their study. It is part of the things that sustains my passion in teaching.

I am a French and English tutor based in the UK offering language and literature tutorials for learners of all levels.*
Since studying French with English Literature at The University of Surrey, I have been helping my students learn both French and English via Zoom. I am proud to say that they have been scoring highly in both written and oral tests.
After working for language schools in Rennes such as Institut-Mondia-Langues and Les Petits Bilingues, I have begun teaching group classes of both primary and secondary-aged students in addition to one-to-one tutorials. Please note that the maximum number of students per class is 8 only, ensuring that the children benefit from teacher-student interactions.
Throughout the pandemic, I have helped my students to grow in confidence as their levels of French and English improve, engaging with both languages and developing comprehensive written and communication skills.
What I offer:
• First class free of charge to discuss students' learning needs
• Group classes (up to 8 people) and one-to-one sessions
• French and/or English language lessons for primary and secondary school students
• Reading confidence workshops for students in need of additional support
• Spelling, phonics & grammar tutorials
• Confidence-boosting speaking sessions to encourage students to enjoy language learning
• Help with any French/English school homework that is proving indecipherable
• Literature tutorials for students studying British, American and/or French literature
• I also provide proofreading and translating services (French-English)
My tutorials are well prepared, structured, and adapted to your child/ren’s learning style/s. The first Zoom call is an opportunity to discuss their learning objectives; these might be goals such as developing their spoken language skills in French/English, or something more specific such as providing additional support for students with dyslexia.
Whatever your child’s learning needs may be, they will be given a structured learning plan targeting the aspects that they would like to work on (speaking, listening, writing, vocabulary, grammar etc).
In my classes, students benefit from language acquisition as well as learning, which is essentially the process of identifying sounds > associating those sounds with meaning > imitating the sounds to convey meaning.
This process takes practice, so I focus on overcoming obstacles that might inhibit fluency in speech or coherency in writing. For example, many of my students struggle with spoken expression at first due to a lack of confidence. To help with this, I create an interactive learning space where students feel comfortable making mistakes, empowering them to make progress.
Homework and in-class activities are used to target the areas where your child/ren may face difficulties, which we then work through together in class.

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.
NB Have had problems uploading DBS Certificate here, but it's valid and the Update System too. (Can show in person or on-screen.) Numerous testimonials via my website at www.weybridge-home-tutor.co.uk

I have been tutoring French for over twenty years. I tutor to all levels: primary, secondary, GCSE, 'A'-level, as well as individual adults and families. I like to get to know my students and their families personally. I recognise that all students are different in terms of character and ability, and I like to think that I tailor my teaching to the needs of each individual. For GCSE and 'A'-level students, I am familiar with all current examination board syllabuses. For adults, I can help improve your speaking and understanding of the language, and am happy to supply recent references. My hobbies include playing table-tennis in a local league, gardening and general reading, For the majority of my early working life ,I worked as a representative for the Publishing Department of a Trade Organisation, which involved technical translation work and liaising with our offices in Brussels, Paris and Geneva. .I have always loved the French language, and I am currently working towards the diploma in translation.

I have been tutoring for over 10 years and concentrate mainly on GCSE. I teach many adults from scratch or picking up where they left at school. I teach as I learned, not as a native speaker, but as a language lover who enjoyed languages at school and at university and aim to support my students by helping them with grammar and vocabulary so that they can make good progress.
When my own children were doing their GCSE's, helping them lead me to discover how much I loved teaching. All my lessons are very much tailor-made to suit the needs of each person and if teaching on-line I email notes after each lesson. I always go the extra mile for my students particularly in the run up to important exams and assessments.
I am foreign language conversation assistant at Dame Alice Owens School in Hertfordshire.
Trial 30 minute lesson on Zoom, Skype or face to face free of charge.
Review via Nextdoor Oct 2023: A friend and I are enjoying Skype based lessons with Paula. She is always very well prepared. She is flexible and ensures that our conversation and grammar lessons are integrated into the other work we are doing. She provides full and helpful notes of our sessions, together with relevant homework. We laugh a lot too as she also has a good sense of humour
Fiona: Paula has such a gift for languages and is able to teach in a way that gives her students a real understanding and love of the language. You can see how much confidence she gives to her students and their exam results clearly reflect this.
I highly recommend Paula!

I am a French native lady, i was born in France, in Reims, a city close Paris. I followed my studies until the "baccalauréat" ( A level) and then i started accounting studies. After that, at 25 years old, i started Naturopathy studies, therapeutic massages and aesthetic and cosmetic studies. I worked for several years and lived abroad too for a while. Now i have been living in England for over 12 years. My life changed completely after a baby and a new country, new environment, new language, a big step for me, i had to adapt and it wasn't easy at the very beginning. So i understand all the difficulties you can have when you start a new language and how frustrating it is not being able to get through and not being able to express yourself. Also about the children, with my son, i know as well the complexity to learn a foreign language as first and second language too. Now with my life experience and i have been teatching now for 8 years, i can help you in so many ways and levels. No pressure, no stress, step by step, you develop your confidence in a pleasant atmosphere at my home or online by meet google. Feel free to contact me for any questions and the FIRST 30 min are Free so don't hesitate to try!

I am friendly, approachable and enjoy making learning meaningful for pupils. My lessons begin with starting activities to recap the previous learning, identify any misconceptions. Moving onto the main part of the lesson I plan activities promoting fluency in the skill then application to a real-life situation or worded exam-style question. Games and quizzes can be fun and useful in testing rapid recall.
I have been teaching for fifteen years and have taught learners of all abilities, backgrounds and socio-economic circumstances, planning for progression and offering timely feedback. I endeavour to make learning as enjoyable as possible and do my utmost to "make learning stick". I am compassionate and go the extra mile for learners.

NHS Doctor with over 10 years of experience studying and completing exams and over 7 years teaching Maths, Biology and Chemistry for KS3, GCSE and A Level. My tuition approach is listed below.
Each lesson begins with a run-through of the topic and explanation of key concepts with opportunities for pupils to ask questions. Students are then provided with high yield exam questions and worksheets to complete. Questions are then marked together to highlight areas of strength and areas of improvement. An emphasis is always maintained on exam technique during each lesson. Assessments to determine student improvement are provided every 4-6 weeks.
All students are taught how to study effectively using two evidence-based study techniques:
1) Active Recall - Here students create useful revision questions to test their memory of certain topics
2) Spaced Repetition - Here students are taught how to strategically review topics regularly and boost their chances of remembering important exam content throughout the year and leading up to exams.
My classes are always tailored with a personalised programme for each and every student and remain friendly and engaging. All resources including specialised notes for each exam board, revision questions and exam question related to the tutees exam board are provided free of charge. Tuition goes beyond the `hour slot` as students are able to contact me via phone, email and tutor hunt messaging. I also remain engaged with the lesson and do not `clock-watch`.
For 2023, I now have a team of dedicated tutors offering tailored approaches to tuition. Please get in touch if you have any questions or preference for female tutors as this can be organised too.
Thank you for all enquiries currently, we are organising classes as soon as possible.
Spring an Summer Booster Courses will be available upon request.
