I do online classes for English as a Second Language for adult learners and Spanish, German and French for GCSE and Adult learners.
if you are local to me, depending on the time, I would come to your home or office.
GCSE STUDENTS
In 2021 al my students this year gained A or A* equivalent grades (9-7) and most went up at least one grade.
* Your classes with me will be friendly and relaxed, but focused on learning and progress.
*I adapt my classes to your interests, but make sure you stay on track with course content for GCSE. *You will gain confidence and develop speaking, listening , reading and writing skills and improve your exam technique.
*I work year round so classes are not confined to term time so you can do extra classes during holidays, which is especially important in the pre-exam period at Easter.

ADULT LEARNERS
*I understand the needs of adult learners, whether learning for business or leisure and whether you are a complete beginner, or, you want to brush up on your skills.
*With an independent tutor, you avoid tedious form filling often found with local authority classes and by agreeing a timetable in advance.
* I can fit classes around your holidays and lifestyle and I work year round so classes are not confined to term time
