Information about Robert

FRENCH/SPANISH/ENGLISH.

Bonjour/Hola/Hello! My name is Robert and I`m an enthusiastic and friendly, well qualified and experienced teacher of French, Spanish and English based in Rickmansworth, Herts.

I provide individual one to one lessons here at home where I have a classroom or I’m very happy to travel to your home if you’re within reasonable proximity.

I also provide ONLINE lessons via Skype or Zoom which of course eliminates any distance issues and allows me to reach out nationally to the whole country as well as internationally.

Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. My aim as a languages teacher is to foster my pupils curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Through my teaching I enable my pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. My teaching also provides opportunities for my students to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language.

Teaching languages is something I enjoy passionately and I believe with the right support and increased confidence, students can achieve their goals in their given language.My style and approach is relaxed and informal and my aim is to focus on the students needs and to make language learning an enjoyable experience whether the student is with me for help with their school exams or whether it`s a more mature student wishing to learn French or Spanish for pleasure or business reasons.

Witnessing my students become passionate about a country as they delve into its language and culture and revel in their newfound ability to communicate is uniquely rewarding.

At all stages of education it is important to understand the English language- never more so than for 10 year olds facing the 11-plus exam.
My focus is all about improving a child’s grammar and reading comprehension as well as creative writing. A good command of the English language has a significant role to play towards success in Verbal Reasoning (VR) tests and in Comprehension tests where these apply. A thorough competency in the following skills is essential for success:
*Spelling
*Punctuation
*Grammar
*Vocabulary
*Literacy
*Comprehension
*Creative Writing
I look forward to helping your child achieve these goals and enabling them to reach their full potential with the ultimate goal of passing their 11+ with flying colours!

Yusuf has broken up for the half term and we have just returned from the mosque prayers.I AM SO PLEASED TO LET U KNOW THAT NOT ONLY HAS HE GOT AN OFFER FROM MTS ,but he has got a minor scholarship of 10 percent-about which we are over the moon,about ,because only 4 boys were selected from the 21 who sat Mts for a potential offer ! John Lyon has also offered a placed with a 5percent scholarship ,and he got to the interview stage with HABS BOYS ‘,but there isn’t an offer -which I expected because I was very clearly asked which school we were going for and although I tried to be as diplomatic as I could ,I am sure they understood that Mts was our first choice .So THANK YOU SO MUCH ROBERT ,he was at the bottom of the pile when we met you,and you polished and shined him and turned him not only just the average “pass “material but worthy of a scholarship ,however minute .We would like to come to meet you briefly at the door please ,if you are free some time this week -half term,just to say hello and to Thank you personally -please let me know when is a good time for you .THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING-English was his biggest weakness and is now an asset .I am also pleased to let you know that he was chosen in his class by the English teacher to type up his poem on the school and told to take it to the headmaster ,whom I coincidentally met ,and who could not believe that it was the same yusuf that had got a C grade just a year ago.
Please let me know when we could meet you briefly,I understand and hope that you still have the steady stream of students lined up and are always very busy back to back.THIS JUST WAS NEVER POSSIBLE WITHOUT U -thank you from all of us .look forward to meeting you this week if you can squeeze us in.Kind Regards,and best wishes always ,Shazia (and Yusuf and family.)

We are thrilled with these results. He has exceeded our expectations to have been offered a place at every school we applied for and this is a testament both to his hard work and to you for the guidance, effort and dedication you put into him. We are so grateful to you for everything. I am sure we will continue to need your support on the next stage of his journey and happy to recommend you to others.

Experience: Tutoring Experience
I have almost 20 years of teaching experience as an employed school teacher. I have taught both in the state and independent sectors,including at two leading public schools namely Wellington College and Merchant Taylor`s. I teach all levels, from complete beginners through to Common Entrance, 13+, GCSE, A level and university level as well as mature students wishing to learn a new language for the fun of it or for business purposes. In addition I`m also a GCSE examiner. I enclose first rate testimonials from past and current students:

FROM MANDEEP
Robert is an extremely conscientious and dedicated tutor and we as parents are delighted at how well both our children are progressing under Robert’s tutorship in English and French. Without hesitation we would highly recommend Robert. We are so delighted to have found Robert.

Many thanks Mandeep.
Mandeep thank you so very much for your kind comments. I’m delighted the children are enjoying their lessons with me and making incredibly good progress! As always it makes my work very rewarding indeed to witness my students make such rapid and impressive improvements in their studies! Robert

FROM DAVID
Robert is excellent and we would highly recommend. He is patient and calm with a really pleasant teaching manner. Myself and my wife are learning to speak Spanish for the first time (in our 30`s) and after 10 sessions (approx.), we are feeling very positive about our Spanish life ahead of us and look forward to Robert`s tutoring lessons. Robert also started teaching our 6 year old son (separately to us) and that was going well, until COV-19 arrived in the UK. We will certainly aim to pick this back up post COV-19.

Muchísimas gracias David y Natalie.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying your online lessons with me and your progress within a few months is sensational!
