Tutoring Approach:

As an experienced teacher I am lucky to have taught over the years a wide range of students at different levels. This allows me to quickly assess students `weaknesses and strengths and establish key strategies to cater for their learning. I have access to all the resources needed to learn a language or pass an exam and I am fully aware of MFL curriculum developments.
Grammar is an essential part of language learning and over the years I have put in place a number of strategies which make grammar understanding more accessible and fun.
