Mary

I have recently graduated from the University of Nottingham, with a first class degree in Spanish and Portuguese (and I also did French to IB Higher level). I know how tough it can be to learn a language in a classroom, so I would love to help in a way that is engaging and clear.

I would also be available to help with other subjects such as English and Maths, having done both as part of the International Baccalaureate at school.

Other interests include dance, musical theatre, and music in general!

Availability: I currently have good availability throughout the week, and some availability at weekends.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: During my academic year abroad, I worked as an English Teaching Assistant in Peru for 4 months, where I worked with students between ages 4-18. This involved correcting written work, providing conversation and reading practice, and getting involved with extra-curricular activities. I also practised English with my host families on the side, helping them gain confidence in speaking and a better grasp of the grammar.

I have also tutored in GCSE French and Spanish before and during my time at university, helping my tutees increase their grades considerably.

I love the subject and am constantly thinking of how to make it more interesting. At times, learning a language can feel tedious at school, but nothing compares to the feeling of successfully communicating in a different language abroad.
