Information about Isa
I am a qualified native teacher of French and Spanish. My PGCE has enabled me to work in various secondary schools and colleges in England.
I have a life long interest in linguistics and studied this in depth for my Licence d`anglais and the Diploma in Translation.
During my lessons, I focus on speaking in order to quickly improve Listening and Oral skills. Taking into account the students style of learning is also a very effective way to make progress.
I am often told that am kind and patient- I do believe these are necessary qualities as a tutor to create a trusting relationship with a young person.
I consistently achieve As and A stars for my students by building up their confidence and interest in the subject .
I have so many tips to pass on to be certain to impress examiners!

Isa tutored my daughter in Spanish at GCSE level. Not only is Isa very easy and pleasant to work with, but is very effective at instilling confidence in my daughter and explaining the material clearly, with the result that my daughter achieved an A* in the subject. I have no hesitation in recommending Isa, and should my daughter need tutoring for A-level, I will be contacting Isa.

Isa has been tutoring my son ahead of his French GCSE next year. She was very enthusiastic and encouraging which is what he needed. She explained things clearly and was patient with him. She is reliable, punctual and flexible with timings etc.. We will be continuing with her this year as he feels his confidence has already improved.
