I offer adaptive and inclusive French tutoring for all ages and abilities. I love making French fun and interesting for students by incorporating as much French culture as possible to put the language in context.

I tutor French for all students' needs, be they upcoming exams, conversational confidence or to refresh your existing knowledge.

I'm available for French one-on-one tutoring either in person or via Skype. Since tutoring via Skype for a year with university students in Canada and having run an after-school French club at a secondary school in Salford, I am able to adapt every lesson to the needs of the student.

I specialize in tutoring French and English for school and for adults wanting to learn French as a Second Language. My goal is to keep students engaged and enthusiastic about learning a new language and to see them progress in their competencies. I like to get a sense of your learning style first, and what helps you best, and tailor my lesson plans to your learning strategies. If you haven't got a learning strategy in place, we can definitely work on one that fits you best.

I am an experienced Tutor who has been working in the Education industry for 8 years and have been tutoring for nearly 3 years. I am dedicated to ensuring that the children I work with continue to make accelerated progress in their learning. I begin with an initial assessment to identify areas of strength, weakness and optimum learning style. So that they can achieve expected levels and targets at the end of the year. I believe all children are different and therefore my approach varies depending on the child, their interests and what they need to be successful in their learning outcomes. Nonetheless, my approach is to create fun, stimulating lessons that engage children in all areas and support them to achieve their very best.

These classes will provide a balance of practice in reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills and will also cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

A coursebook will also be used during lessons. I additionally assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

Spanish is the 4th most spoken language in the world, and being able to speak another language is becoming more and more desirable. As an A* Spanish student myself, I understand how difficult it can be to grasp a language in a classroom of 30 students. During my hour of tuition I will go through conjugating tenses in depth, speaking and writing skills.

Furthermore English literature is also my strong suite as an A* English student. I specialise specifically in GCSE English literature (Edexcel exam board) but will happily tutor for any other exam board. In English tutoring sessions I will go through key themes of plays/novels in depth and set essays once the student feels more confident. Before then, I will go through sample essays to discuss what went well and what could be improved.

As a tutor I can support your child to make more sense of their learning at school, and help them to become more confident.
I have had a lot of experience working with children with SEN, in particular Autism and ADHD.

English is not only the official language in 67 various countries, but in contemporary society English is vital to achieving jobs, broaden your mindset and improving opportunities in all aspects of life.
English is a core subject which requires 'thinking outside of the box' for every book that you read, every text you analyse and every communication that you listen to.
By teaching you the necessary skills for your specification and exam, you will develop a utilitarian skillset of knowledge to help you ace every english exam.

I am also Cambridge CELTA qualified to teach English as a second language to all levels focusing on speaking, listening, writing and reading. My goal is to focus on the students needs and weakness while encouraging their strengths. They will be challenged to perform to their best ability while also keeping it fun so it does not get too overwhelming. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

These are personalised lessons, in either maths or English, created to do the following:

- Fill gaps in your child’s knowledge, that are preventing them from being assessed as meeting the age-related standard.

- Reinforce and cement knowledge learned in school by addressing misconceptions your child has about any topics.

- Build on existing learning and challenge your child with content that pushes them towards working at greater depth.

I have nine years experience working in schools, seven years of which have been as a qualified teacher - working across KS1 and KS2. Therefore, you can be confident that what your child is being taught is in line with the current curriculum.

NOTE: before the first lesson, it is important we arrange a brief call to discuss your child’s areas for development. As with any outstanding curriculum, we always begin by identifying specific gaps so subsequent lessons can be produced to close them.

I can travel a 5 mile radius from my location, anything outside would need to be held online.
