Information about Matthew

I am a professional and experienced qualified teacher who is passionate about helping students succeed and achieve their potential. I have experience in tutoring on a one-to-one basis across all age ranges.

I am a big believer in personalised learning therefore I like to tailor a programme of study to meet your needs. Each learner is different and so it is important to adapt and use a range of teaching styles and methods to find the ones that work for you. Where my tuition is supporting you in your study of languages at secondary school, I like to ensure that what we do builds on, and links to, what you have been studying in class. Above all I believe learning should be fun and relevant to you and so I put this at the heart of my teaching.

Availability: Weekdays including evenings - See availability section below (subject to change so don`t hesitate to get in touch - weekday evening slots fill up quickly so don`t hesitate to get in contact well in advance of planned sessions if you are looking for a regular slot).

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have over four years experience teaching languages in state secondary schools working with students aged 11-18 and many years experience providing private language tuition. I have detailed knowledge of French and Spanish GCSE and A-level syllabuses and specifications, having taught and examined these courses. I also have experience of teaching primary languages. I have worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds with a variety of special educational needs. I have studied languages to degree level and lived, worked and taught abroad in both France and Spain.

I contacted Matthew to provide support for my son in the final weeks of his Spanish GCSE preparation. Matthew was very pleasant to deal with and very efficient in all our communications. He is extremely well organised and has a very clear delivery in the sessions. He has excellent subject knowledge and was able to quickly identify the areas where my son needed help and work on them with him accordingly - my son has definitely benefitted from the sessions. I would have no hesitation to contact Matthew again, if needed, and to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a very good Spanish GCSE tutor.

Excellent tutor - thorough, professional and approachable – cannot recommend highly enough! My daughter moved schools midway through year 8 and had to switch from French to Spanish, so she had a year and a half of teaching to catch up on. I love that sessions are 100% productive, every minute is useful, but at the same time my daughter is completely at ease, happy to ask questions and participate fully. In just a few months Matt has got her caught up on virtually everything and she’s feeling confident about her Spanish GCSE course 😊;

Matt`s 1-hour lessons with my 15yo daughter have been brilliant. Through those and the homework he sets her, he has helped her confidence in Spanish immensely as she prepares for her GCSE exams. I recommend him very highly.

Matt is excellent. He has been incredibly helpful in fixing the gaps in my Yr11 son`s Spanish learning caused by lost lessons during the pandemic. My son had virtually written off Spanish due to so little teaching in his school but Matt`s help and support has completely turned it around in just a few weeks - my son has gone from being content to just about pass his Spanish GCSE to now striving for an A. My son has found Matt easy and friendly to work with.

He has been looking after my son (22 yr old in Y7)’s Spanish in the last few months. He is super organized. Also he provides extra support outside the lesson (check the homework in advance and revert with corrections before the next lesson day). I can recommend him.

Matthew is an excellent tutor. My son has really benefited from his patient, friendly and positive teaching. The lessons are very well prepared and planned at an appropriate level, relaxed but with a good pace and challenge. There are good resources provided which are easy to access. Matthew carefully and accurately assesses where there are strengths as well as gaps in learning, and tailors the lessons accordingly. He provides some very useful revision in between sessions which is followed up in subsequent lessons. Matthew`s lessons have given my son a great boost to his confidence in Spanish, and he is really enjoying them.

In the short time Matthew has been helping our son with French we have noticed both a marked improvement in his attitude to learning and his confidence. Although it is early days we feel he will be much better placed to achieve a good GCSE grade and get much more pleasure from learning a language.

So far my daughter has only spent an hour with Matt but she says she understood more in that hour about the Spanish language than she ever did at school. She has some real enthusiasm now which she never had before. I can highly recommend Matt & this site

Matthew taught my 13 year old son French weekly for half a term. Within this period of time he managed to help my son get to grips with French in a way that his class teacher hadn`t in 4 terms. He was always well prepared and diligent as well as friendly and motivating him. Wouldn`t hesitate to recommend.

Matthew has recently starting tutoring our son in French and Spanish at AS level. We have been incredibly impressed so far as he has accurately assessed our son`s needs and is working with him in clear, logical steps. He is very knowledgable about the requirements of each exam board and is providing excellent feedback and action steps between the sessions. We would highly recommend Matthew as a tutor.
