Jasmine

My name is Jasmine and I am a friendly, approachable and enthusiastic French and German tutor, passionate about sharing my love of languages with pupils aged 11–18.

I tutor French and German at GCSE and A-level. I achieved grade 8s in both subjects at GCSE, Bs in French, German and English Language at A-level, and graduated from Aberystwyth University with a 2:1 in French and German. Whilst at University I was a Modern Languages Ambassador as well as a Modern Languages Peer Mentor. I have also lived and studied in both France and Austria during my degree and frequently plan trips around Germany to visit my German-speaking friends.

I aim to provide a clear lesson structure and plan for all students, focusing on what subjects we intend to cover as well as our learning targets. I strive to encourage student input and engagement in lessons, by offering fun, interactive language-learning activities, based on the curriculum and areas that students are struggling with. I want to create a non-judgemental, friendly and encouraging learning environment for all students, with a focus on building their confidence.

I am particularly inspired to tutor languages as I hope to pursue a German-speaking career in Germany, in which I can continue to utilise my language skills.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy travelling, yoga and making pottery.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have over 100 hours of private tutoring experience, teaching both French and German to KS3, GCSE and A-Level students. I am very familiar with UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel and CCEA. I also have experience tutoring SEND students and I strive to adapt my lessons to each individual and their unique learning style and educational needs.

I always provide a structured and detailed lesson report at the end of each session. This helps to keep students and parents up-to-date with what we have focused on during the lesson as well as individual feedback. Lesson reports will include what we focused on during the lesson, including an explanation of the activities we completed, what the student did particularly well in during the lesson, areas that require more improvement and finally what we aim to cover in the next session. I will also provide the student with resources from the lesson, such as exam papers, online resources or even individual lesson notes. Homework may be set alongside our lessons, if requested by students or parents.
