Allison

Having been a private tutor as well as a class teacher and Head of Languages working at a small independent school for a number of years, I have experience of teaching from Key Stage 2 up to A Level. I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by a number of different languages and consequently grew up speaking four. My passion for language was obvious from a very early age and I have been a school teacher and one-to-one private tutor for 30+ years, specialising in languages: French, Spanish, Italian, English Language, English Literature and English as a Second Language.

I am an enthusiastic, empathetic and highly skilled tutor with a real passion for languages who thoroughly enjoys passing on her skills to learners in a supportive and fun learning environment.

Availability: I will always do my best to be as flexible as I can about timings so that we can arrange mutually convenient lesson times. I am available to tutor in the late afternoons and evenings Monday to Saturday.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have been a teacher for 30+ years and a Head of Languages for 12+ years. I have extensive experience at Entry Level, GCSE, AS, A Level and International Baccalaureate. I also have experience of teaching Literacy at Key Stage 2 and have Entry Level, SATs and 11+ teaching experience. I can also help if your child is home-schooled. I have helped many students achieve great results at GCSE, AS/A Level and Baccalaureate as well as helped them gain entry to top private schools and Oxford.

For a number of years, I have also had the good fortune to be an Examiner for leading Examination Boards. I have in-depth knowledge of my subject areas and a keen understanding of what is required in order to meet the assessment criteria both at GCSE and AS/A Level. I have tutored many students over the years, all of whom have achieved their academic goals. I have a current DBS Certificate so you know you can safely entrust your child to my care.

I am an easy-going and friendly teacher with whom students quickly feel at ease, learning rapidly in the safe and calm atmosphere of the welcoming home I share with my family.
