One of the things that first attracted me to studying and really enjoying learning foreign languages was getting to know the respective cultures, therefore I always implement that aspect in my tutoring. We'll learn about a country's history together in the target language, as well as using film, radio and literature to get better listening skills and a wider vocabulary. In this way, you'll not only get a brilliant grasp of the language, but a passion for the culture and people too!
Any individual interests a student has can also be used as a great starting point to lessons and helping you learn the language using a topic you're already interested in.
Students studying for GCSE and A Level exams are also welcome to bring along any homework/ practice papers they wish to have more guidance on, so that we gear lessons to helping you get prepared to do brilliantly on the exam.
Good grammar is also foundational to good language skills, so these are also at the core of my lessons.
Finally, I have utilised my language skills in a business career that spanned many years and taken me across the world, so anyone looking to improve their language skills for business reasons, please also reach out.
Looking forward to answering any questions you may have and embarking on an exciting new language adventure together!
