Information about Alison
I am a former secondary school languages teacher offering online tuition (via Skype or Zoom) in Italian and Spanish, (all levels including GCSE and A-Level), French for holidays and English as a Foreign Language. I have experience tutoring other subjects – particularly Maths, English, Science and Humanities - up to Key Stage 3.
I teach students of all ages, from primary school children to pensioners.
Any student who engages me as a tutor can expect their lessons to be tailored to their needs and objectives. Therefore, I am currently working with a business owner who wishes to focus on business-related French, a 14-year old boy who will be taking his Spanish GCSE next year, a Spanish lady who needs to improve her English for work purposes, and with another lady, who very much enjoys poetry, I am reading an anthology of Italian poetry.
My students appreciate the fact that I have a very strong academic background and also UK qualified teacher status.
They also appreciate that masks are not needed in our lessons since we are working online.
I charge £30 per hour unless the lesson is for exam preparation (GCSEs and A Levels) in which case I charge £35 per hour.
The first lesson with a student is always free of charge.
My students usually buy two or three books to use during our lessons. The books I suggest depend very much on their previous knowledge of the language.
If you were to consider taking online lessons, using Zoom or Skype, then I would be very pleased to be your tutor.
Availability: Reasonably flexible

Experience: I used to teach Spanish in secondary schools up to A-Level and French to Key Stage 3. I have a first class degree in Spanish and Italian from Leeds University and an MA in Latin American studies. I am also a CELTA-certified TEFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher.

Feedback For Alison (8)

At the time of writing this I have only had three lessons with Alison but have already found them to be informative and stimulating. Alison was very prompt in responding to my emails during the setting up process and did her best to accommodate exactly what I was looking for. She has suggested a wide range of books and online information to supplement her lessons and has many further resources for reference during the lessons themselves. Alison is prepared to tailor her lessons to suit individual demands and has a very pleasant personality and teaching style as well as obviously being an expert speaker in Italian. I am looking forward to making good progress with her. Michael

Alison has been fantastic with our 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son. They have made great progress and really enjoy the lessons.

Alison has consistently motivated, challenged and taught my son with interest and care. His Spanish, both written and spoken, is excellent and this is, in no small part, to the efforts of Alison to keep the lessons engaging and relevant. Additionally Alison is well prepared with lessons, is always punctual and is very good value for money.
