Information about Vanessa

Qualified teacher with experience teaching languages in school and preparing students for exams in KS3, KS4 and KS5. I am bilingual in French and Spanish ( both my native languages).

I have over 6 years of experience tutoring all ages, face to face and online using Skype. Both options, home and online, can be easily combined together when purchasing a package.

I am professional, friendly and flexible. I will adapt my teaching style to the different learning needs of the student whether some booster sessions are required before an exam or long term learning. I can travel to your home or agree a meeting point.

I also enjoy teaching about the culture and use different resources to make lessons enjoyable and fun and stimulate the 4 skills - listening, reading, writing and speaking (videos, texts, role plays, photo cards, etc).

For long term learning, please enquiry about packages as discounts are offered

Price can slightly vary depending on where you live (additional cost for > 3 miles).

Remember that learning a language is like practising a sport: the more you do, the better you get!

Since Vanessa started tutoring GCSE French to my son, who is in year 10, his performance has very positively improved. It was a slow start for him at first but with Vanessa`s consistent patience and tutoring he has started to make good progress and a greater understanding of what is required of him. This was confirmed to me by his school teacher on parent`s evening a couple of nights ago. I very happily recommend her for French tuition.

Vanessa is friendly, inspiring and efficient. I`ve had approximately a term of lessons so far, working mainly on speaking and grammar, and already feel my language has become much more sophisticated, and am definitely gaining confidence- I`ve often felt quite apprehensive about speaking Spanish, but Vanessa put me immediately at ease!
As I live quite far from Vanessa, I have all my lessons via Skype, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well this works- she often sends documents to work with, and types up corrections during the lesson, making it really easy to look back and revise.
Vanessa has been very flexible with dates and times and, from the clarity with which she explains grammar, clearly has so much experience teaching languages I would recommend her wholeheartedly.

Vanessa is very thorough and meticulous with her tutoring approach and she is absolutely brilliant at assessing what the student needs during the sessions. Unfortunately my son`s ex-tutor had to relocate and Vanessa stood in at a very stressful time and this really boosted my sons confidence for his imminent Oral AS level exam for the AQA board. My son needed extra tutoring which Vanessa accommodated and helped my son even though she was on holiday. She uses a combination of methods both face to face at our home and on-line (on Skype). She is very good at teaching the exam technique required by the examination board. We would thoroughly recommend her and have already booked her for next years A level.

We have been using Vanessa since sept 2014 for A Level French. Vanessa has always been reliable and flexible when arranging times to meet. She has been open to any suggestions made and has endless patients. Her teaching style is one of encouragement and has boosted my daughters confidence considerably.

Vanessa is a brilliant tutor and is very thorough in the way she teaches. She works well with the capability of a student and helps them reach their full potential. She is extremely helpful in terms of helping out with language speaking and writing assessments, she makes sure the work produced is of the best quality required for the exam board.
