My name is Raphael, but please call me Raff! I am a 23 year old languages graduate, having studied Modern and Medieval languages at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. I graduated with a first class degree, scoring 74.4, and came in the top 20 in my cohort. I also gained first class honours in my first and second year exams at university, including top of the year in Modern Greek. My main languages were German and Spanish but I studied Modern Greek in my second year and Portuguese in my final year. I have always loved languages and literature. I grew up bilingual (my mother is Italian) and, as my father is a pilot, I have had the opportunity to travel lots and experience various different cultures. My interest in literature is extensive - my favourite authors are Graham Greene, George Orwell, Margaret Atwood and Tennessee Williams (who is technically a playwright of course!). However, I am as interested in films as I am in books - I love foreign language movies (especially German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian ones) - but also enjoy a Hollywood classic or two, such as 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and 'Apocalypse Now'. I gained 4 A*s at A level (including top of the country in Pre U German), full marks in my EPQ and all A*s at GCSE. I have nearly 4 years of GCSE, A level and University tutoring experience and will tailor my lessons to suit the specific needs of my students. Outside of academic interests, I am a competitive swimmer, I enjoy going for long walks in the countryside and love going out and having fun with my friends - can't wait to teach you!
