Ellen

Hello! I am an experienced and enthusiastic PGCE qualified language teacher. I have taught in schools in the UK, Italy and Asia for over 12 years. I have an in depth knowledge of many examination specifications, including AQA, OCR and EDEXCEL and the international equivalents (including the IB syllabus). Over the years I have prepared hundreds of students for language exams, many of whom were awarded top marks in their GCSEs and A-levels.

I am hugely passionate about encouraging children to start their language journey as soon as possible. I have spent many years teaching languages in Primary schools, both as part of the curriculum and also as fun after-school clubs.

I can help you with:

-German and Italian GCSE and AS/A-level.
-German, French, and Italian GCSE.
-German, French, Italian and Spanish KS3.
-Primary language lessons.
-Adult language lessons.
-EFL at all ages and abilities.

Exam success is fundamental but I also offer fun, interactive lessons that encourages a love of languages beyond exams. I am friendly, patient and give constructive feedback to build your confidence!

Whatever your motivation for learning a language, I look forward to helping you take it to the next level!
