Hi! Are you looking to become fluent in French or Portuguese? Or maybe you just need some extra help for your exams. Either way, you`ve got the right person.

I am a language graduate from King`s College London. I have a French and Portuguese degree and love sharing my knowledge with others. Languages have always been my biggest passion but I also have an interest for maths and geography, both of which I took at A-level.

I come from a Portuguese background and am therefore fluent in two languages. I am also fluent in French. Having done a year abroad as part of my degree (Erasmus), it helped me to really develop my French oral skills. I lived and studied in Paris for 7 months so I am familiar with French culture, history and literature.

Subjects I specialise in:

Portuguese (all levels - Beginner, GCSE, A- Level and Adult learners)
French (all levels)
Maths (KS1,2,3 and GCSE)
11+ exams
Geography (up to GCSE)
English Language and Literature (up to A-level)

My interests include travelling, writing, reading and doing yoga. In my free time I work as a writer for language e-learning platforms.

Availability: I work weekends and have availability most mornings. If you would like an afternoon/ evening slot contact me and we can arrange something.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: ○;;;;;;;Teaching Assistant at First Class Learning (2 years)
Helping younger children (ages 5-12) with Maths and English on a one-to-one teaching approach. Assisted many students with learning difficulties.

○;;;;;;; French Teaching Assistant at LSU Secondary School
Helping GCSE French students prepare for their oral French exams through practice mock speaking tests. Leading French grammar lessons.

○;;;;;;;I also recently ran some official GCSE Portuguese Oral exams in a school in Islington.


I aim to provide solid knowledge of what I am teaching, whilst also paying attention to the needs of the individual. For younger learners I like to motivate them by testing their comprehension with games and problems. I make sure the individual is understanding what I am teaching by making regular pauses and ensuring they have understood the material either by asking them to summarize what has just been said, or doing a quick mini test. Most importantly, I hope to show great passion for what I am teaching, and this will encourage the student to also be passionate in their learning. I try to make the material as interesting as possible in order to achieve the best results. I am open to either following the student`s needs (help with their weekly homework), or planning the lessons myself using the curriculum.

WHY PICK ME?:
○;;;;;;;Super friendly, patient and I always try to build a good rapport with the learner.
○;;;;;;; I will help to boost your confidence, whether that be in speaking, listening or writing.
○;;;;;;;I`ve helped students go from `below predicted grade` to excelling them.
○;;;;;;;I`ve been there before! I know how daunting learning a new language is.. or how scary exams are!
○;;;;;;;Will offer stress-busting and exam techniques.
