James (Tutor)

 French (primary, ks3, gcse, a-level)

 Spanish (ks3, gcse, a-level)

I am 22 years of age currently studying International Relations at the University of Sussex. I was born in Brussels and speak fluent French. I have also lived in Madrid for a year and speak fluent Spanish. I have received my A-levels in French and Spanish.

I have a TESOL qualification and have many years of teaching experience. I also have a swimming ASA qualification and teach swimming on a part-time basis to children and adults.

My hobbies include swimming, cycling, walking in nature and meditation.

Teaching Experience:
I have worked as an independent private tutor in Brussels and Madrid (can provide references) for up to 2 years and have been tutoring to many people, ranging from the ages of 5 to 40.

Tutoring Approach:
My experience as both a teacher and a learner have shown me that people learn in a variety of ways.
I therefore endeavour to find ways of working together with my students that will most suit their individual needs and help them to gain confidence and understanding in the subject area in which they need support.

My approach is friendly and interactive. I feel that establishing a positive two-way relationship between teacher and pupil is the most important starting point. From there we can find the most effective way of moving forward with the student's learning.

Availability: Weekends and weekdays after 4pm.
