I'm Chiara, I'm 23 years old and I aspire to become a Primary school teacher in England. I'm currently studying for my PGCE in Primary education at the University of the West of England.
I have a degree in English and French and am proficient in both languages. I have a IELTS certification that proves my excellent level of English.
I'm a big reader, one of my favorite ways to bond with children is reading to them and entertain conversations about books and their fictional worlds.
I consider myself resourceful and organised, kind and engaging. I love to have my days scheduled so that I can make the most of them.
I have been volunteering as a Scout leader for four years now, working with children aged 8 to 11. During this time I, along with the rest of my staff, set educational goals to focus on throughout the year, planned activities and attended training courses to improve our skills. Education is at the heart of the Scout movement. The time and energy that it took, and the skills I developed have prepared me to undertake this job. I now know how to engage students, identify their strongest abilities and those that need more work, design a program and pursue it and make learning fun. Thanks to my degree in English and French I have a complete understanding of both languages, cultures and literatures. My experiences as a nanny and tutor to primary school aged children have also inspired me to choose this career path.
In conclusion, my experiences working with children have inspired me and given me the skills needed to be a well-organized, nurturing teacher.
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.

About the Lesson
I offer one, one and a half, and two-hour lessons, using questioning techniques to encourage deeper thinking and help students achieve top grades in English. My experience includes teaching a wide range of texts such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, The Sign of the Four, A Christmas Carol, An Inspector Calls, and poetry from the Power and Conflict and Love and Relationships anthologies. I have also served as an examiner, marking AQA English Literature Paper 2, and will be marking Language Paper 1 this year.
About Me
I adore engaging with young people about the texts they are studying and aim to help you unlock your potential in English. With a passion for my subject and experience teaching AQA English Literature and Language at GCSE level, I am committed to helping students succeed. Based in Cambridge, UK, I am available for personalised tutoring sessions. Please contact me directly to discuss your needs.
I have a passion to teach young children and adults. I like to help others with my knowledge and skills in the above mentioned subjects. I believe that every student is different from the other and therefore I design lesson plans for students according to their needs and learning levels.
I have worked as a moderator, question setter and examiner for 3 different Boards over the past 20 years. I am up to date with the new specifications for English Language, English Literature, and English Language and Literature. I have taught all these recently at my sixth form college, MPW Cambridge, where I teach one to one. I am based in Cambridge and would prefer to teach face-to-face rather than online, though I can do both.
A committed and accomplished Ph. D. graduate with a track record of achievement in diverse and challenging environments including European affairs, journalism, international education, cultural relations and special educational needs.
