I’m so proud of my language skills which have given me so many wonderful experiences in life. I hope to pass this onto new learners of French and Spanish. I’m a calm and approachable person who can tailor lessons to students’ needs. My youngest tutee has been 7 years old whilst my oldest are the adults I teach at the local college! I teach in school at secondary level with a proven track record for GCSE and A level. Having worked for an airline for many years I also have plenty of personal skills that put my students at ease and enable me to build rapport. I`m always adapting my classes to keep my students interested and learning, whilst hopefully having fun as well.

Availability: Evenings, weekends, Thursday and Friday daytimes.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: After completing my degree in French and Spanish at Cardiff University (which included a year living in France and Spain) I worked for British Airways where I regularly used my language skills. In 2012 I completed my PGCE and qualified to teach at secondary level, although I am very able to teach younger students too. I have been teaching in a highly respected local school for 7 years, from year 7 to A level. My students have achieved excellent results over the years, including successful Oxbridge candidates.
