I am fully up to speed with the requirements of the main exam boards for French and German GCSE and A level. I have a range of relevant and stimulating materials for the successful delivery of MFL tuition at all levels, including interactive teaching materials.
I have vast experience of online and face to face private tutoring and have had a number of tutees in London as well as other parts of the UK (online). I also have some clients in Switzerland, China and in the US.
I have up to date knowledge of the syllabus and requirements of all the main examination boards, including IGCSE.

I have marked GCSE MFL writing and speaking papers for Edexcel and AQA.
All my lessons are very carefully planned to suit the needs of the individual. I tend to send the lesson content in advance, as well as suggestions for pre lesson vocabulary learning. I set and mark homework according the client’s wishes/needs.
