I have taught Spanish and French in state and international secondary skills all my life as well as tutoring privately. My lessons have a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing skills and I personalise them to the individual student to build on their strengths and support any weaknesses. I am very familiar with the exam syllabuses and conduct the GCSE official speaking test so I can help students with their exam technique to maximise their grade outcome. Having lived in both Spain and France my cultural knowledge is broad and similarly my enthusiasm for communicating in another language. My students comment on the increased confidence that the lessons bring and how I bring the language to life.
