My name is Lucy and I live in West Sussex. I am fascinated by languages and communication and I have gained a wealth of experience in teaching and learning French, Spanish and English.

In 2013 I achieved my Level 5 Trinity College London Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have have 8 years of classroom and private tutoring experience. My expertise is grammar: I am very skilled in this area having spent a lot of time studying. I have also gained plenty of experience in helping students with their speaking and listening skills. I am qualified to teach adults and teenagers, and have also gained experience in providing foreign primary school children with an introduction to the English language.

In 2017 I graduated with a 2:1 in French and Hispanic studies. In my third year at University I studied and worked abroad in Paris and Madrid. In Paris I was the English teacher of a small private school and I was in charge of designing the curriculum, teaching all the lessons, and creating an end of term assessment. In Madrid I was self employed and privately tutored several students with lessons tailored to their requirements. For example, one student wanted to improve conversation skills for her job as she was required to communicate with clients in the UK, so we focused on business conversation skills in English.

In June 2020 I will qualify as a Secondary Teacher of French and Spanish, teaching up to A level (Key Stage 5). I am currently on a SCITT PGCE course (School Centred Initial Teacher Training) which means I have been in the classroom since September gaining plenty of experience teaching the languages. Before beginning my ITT (Initial Teacher Training) year, I completed a 6 month Subject Knowledge Enhancer which involved studying the different modules of the GCSE and A level syllabuses and preparing a presentation on teaching each module to a class. This course has helped me understand exactly what is expected of the students during Key Stages 4 and 5 and I received excellent feedback on my achievements.

If you are studying French, Spanish or English, I can help you to succeed! We will tailor my class and lessons to your individual needs. Whether you want to build confidence in speaking and communicating, or need some extra help with grammar/ written work, I can help.
Please contact me for more information.

I am an experienced German teacher, who taught for the last 5 years online and 1 to 1 lessons for a language centre (Brighton) The lessons are individually tailored, we will work on all 4 skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading. Lessons will be tailored around your individual language needs.
We work usually with a book from A1 - C1 and then with media (news articles and materials/videos from the internet). Lessons will be a mixture of reading texts and then answering questions or discussing the topic, listening exercises and free speaking. You also can read books (easy reader) or bring your own materials to the lessons. I teach grammar in context with texts, not independently. But students will develop in time a concept of the various elements in a sentence (pronoun, verb, preposition, adjective, noun, adverb etc) and get a clear picture of sentence structure (main and subordinate clauses and placement of verbs). Still, the main focus will be on conversation, students will immerse in the fascinating world of German words and expressions, doing role plays and practicing day to day situations. Developing not only their language skills but also their fantasy and improvisation skills.

Hi, I'm native Czech speaker - qualified and experienced to give you the very best professional help. More then 10 years in business. My lessons are tailored carefully for YOU, ensuring that each of you achieves personal goals. Can't wait to see you.

Whatever your needs or your age, from primary school literacy to degree-level Shakespeare and poetic analysis, I'm here to help improve your skill with text and essay-writing. I cover poetic terminology, literary structure and the interpretation of abstract work, as well as how to write convincing essays at GCSE, A-Level or BA level.

This class is for primary students who need a hand with their school work, whether it is help with understanding a subject, homework, reading or handwriting.

I can also help with SATs preparation - the first 'real' exams can be daunting and I can offer assistance with exam technique or subject knowledge!

It is always nice and stimulating to learn a new language and knowing Italian offers great satisfaction! I teach all levels and ages. My goal is to teach the Italian language in an easy and fun way. I want to offer space not only to grammar, but also for the conversation based on everyday life.
I like to use with my class a communicative and student-centred approach.
In my lessons I want to address all cultural aspects that foreigners love more about Italy: fashion, food, climate, spirit, beliefs and holidays. My learning method will never be boring because along the way, we will have the support of videos, music, authentic text and interactive games.
If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry! i will help you to improve and in a few weeks you will see great results!

I like to ask the students what they would like to learn from my lessons. What are their goals. I think it's really important to be on the same page, so we can work in the same direction together and it makes things easier. I can adapt easily to different kind of teachings. People are different and they don't always have the same way to learn. I can start from the basics (learning how to pronounce the letters right, feminine and masculine of words, grammar, verbs, etc.) I can only teach oral lessons if is what the person wants. I like working with a lot of examples and visuals.

What I offer:
- Tuition in GCSE Religious Studies, History and English Literature, as well as A-Level Philosophy and Ethics
- Tuition in Oxbridge applications (Personal Statement, interviews etc.)
- I am happy to familiarise myself with any specification so I can tutor for any exam board
- I also offer tuition in essay writing skills and/or Primary Literacy

Teaching strategy:
- I am passionate about these subjects and will provide friendly and engaging classes (length will vary depending on needs)
- A safe learning environment where students can be challenged to reach their potential
- Encouraging and interactive
- Let me know beforehand any needs or requests in the way you would like to be tutored and I can adapt to this

English Language and Literature can be a tough GCSE to crack. So much information and abstract concepts to put on a page. I can teach you the formulas and key knowledge you need to write a successful paper and achieve your potential. I used these formulas myself and they have carried me from my GCSE’s all the way to my degree level.

Whether a pupil is aiming for top grades, or needs an extra boost to pass, my GCSE English Literature class provides personalised support to help children fulfil their potential. Covering all aspects of the GCSE English Literature curriculum (and all exam boards), my resources and knowledge will enhance students understanding of both content and exam technique. Aiming to engage students in their given texts, I use interactive methods and my effervescent personality to build my students confidence, ensuring they are fully prepared for their exams. With a passion for helping children succeed and English Literature, my enthusiasm is contagious and this is reflected in astronomical progress my students make.

The contrasts between two different things will be discussed in this session, with descriptions of two or more items being the focal point of the session. If you always wanted to use better descriptions when expressing yourself in English, this lesson might just be for you!
