Emma

Hi!

I`m Emma, a qualified teacher of French and Spanish, holding QTS and a PGCE, alongside a degree in Linguistics and Spanish. Languages have always been a passion of mine, not just the grammar and vocabulary, but the cultures, history, and ways of thinking that come with them, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with my students.

I know that speaking can be the most daunting part of learning a language, having been a student myself not so long ago, I remember exactly how intimidating it can feel. I focus on building confidence step by step, creating a relaxed environment where making mistakes is part of the process, not something to fear.

Every lesson is tailored to the individual, drawing on up-to-date teaching theories to support your goals, learning style, and pace. Whether you`re working towards exams, building confidence for travel, or simply developing a love of the language, my aim is always to make lessons engaging and enjoyable, so you stay motivated and see real progress.

I`d love to help you on your language learning journey.

Experience: Most recently I achieved my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and completed a PGCE, teaching French and Spanish at KS3 as well as GCSE Spanish. I taught in a single-sex school and a mixed-sex school, giving me experience teaching a wide range of abilities and backgrounds. I am familiar with up-to-date teaching theories, which support my lesson planning and help ensure students progress to their full potential.

I also have two years experience tutoring online, covering Spanish, English, and Geography and volunteered in a primary school for a year teaching Spanish to KS2 pupils. This gave me insight into the transition period between primary and secondary school, and how to motivate younger pupils to persevere through the challenges of language learning.
