Since completing my degree, earning a First in Linguistics and Spanish from St. Catherine`s College, Oxford, tutoring has become the mainstay of my work.

My speciality is Spanish at all levels, though I always hope for aspiring Linguistics students!

I also regularly attend Oxbridge admissions-focussed events for both schools and the general public, as an experienced mock interviewer, seminar leader, and test coach.

I am a regular at a holiday revision school here in Oxfordshire, covering Spanish for all exam specifications including GCSE, iGCSE, A-Level, IB, and Pre-U.

When tutoring, I do not use the word "lesson"; that`s a poor descri ption of the dynamic. Students have a goal, and it is the task of both me and a student to work towards that goal. I have a very informal style in the session, but I hope to back this up with good communication and organisation behind the scenes. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy hiking, cooking, and snooker (even though I`m hopeless at it).
