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.

For the time being my schedule is a little limited but from July I will be able to offer many more slots.
I can teach remotely/online (preferably). I am very well used to it by now.
It is always possible to negotiate rates according to circumstances.

Hola a tod@s, I`m Lizzie, an enthusiastic and succcessful secondary school Spanish and French teacher. Having achieved wonderful results with my students already, I am looking to move into tutoring to help more people access these wonderful languages!
WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER ME?!
I am an enthusiastic secondary school Spanish and French teacher with high aspirations for my students, supporting them to challenge themselves and achieve. I am currently studying for my Masters in Education, for which I am researching the use of mobile phones and technology to teach grammar in MFL.
In my first year as an A Level teacher I received 100% A-A* grades in my class. Last year, 88% of my Higher Spanish GCSE students received a grade 6 or above.
My teaching involves creating and delivering engaging and exciting lessons which motivate students. I enjoy incorporating technology into my classes and find the use of culture, such as music, is key to teaching languages. Recent examples of exciting lessons I have taught include a writing task on students’ phones using emojis and challenging Sixth Form students to act as a ‘government’ and come up with their own racism laws and policies, considering logistics and money, totally in target language, for one lesson.
I have a year of experience of teaching online as a secondary school teacher working during corona virus lockdown in 2020/2021. I am also completing my Masters in Education in online/mobile learning currently.

I've taught all levels from Primary to University level, prepared students for GCSE and A level exams and to a wide range of nationalities and students from different cultural backgrounds.
In my teaching style, I use the communicative approach and include visual aids, games, authentic materials, and language functions to meet the objectives of the students. So, I can teach you with proficiency and ease both languages in French and Arabic. In my teaching I include speaking, listening, reading and writing. I can also tailor courses to suit your need, so please contact me and let me know your objectives.

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.
