Counselling Tutors : 1-1 Counselling Preparation

Hello! I’m Hortense, a native French speaker with over 10 years of experience teaching French and German in schools across the UK and Ireland. I hold a PGCE in MFL and a TEFL qualification, and I’m currently awaiting the results of my MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I teach online with Lingoda, working with adult learners from around the world at various levels, and I love creating engaging, interactive lessons that build confidence and real-world communication skills. I’ve also taught French creatively through cooking, drama, and PE classes, encouraging children to explore the language in fun, hands-on ways. My approach is student-centred and discovery-based—I guide learners to find patterns, form rules, and take ownership of their learning. During my MSc placement, I also offered counselling online, which deepened my ability to listen, adapt, and support people holistically. I speak several languages including Romanian, German, and Japanese, and I use this experience to empathise with and support language learners on their journey. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced speaker, my goal is to help you feel empowered, independent, and excited about learning.

Hello!
My name is Lana, and I am a qualified mental health practitioner and educator. I work with mental health challenges and offer my experience in tutoring alongside my therapeutic approach. I have experience working with students of all ages, from early years to GCSE support. I am experienced in tutoring children with SEND and mental health concerns.

Sessions are done at your pace, with mental well-being at the forefront. I am not a traditional ‘teacher’ and I aim to make you feel comfortable in our sessions so that you are able to get the most out of our time together. I am flexible and accommodating so if you require certain specifications to make the session enjoyable for you, feel free to let me know! Breaks are an option and encouraged, even if it’s 2 minutes to breathe after a tricky maths question!

I offer Life coaching, Counselling, Maths, English, Science and more. Reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to hearing from you soon

I’m Jayne, an integrative counsellor with a BSocSc in Media, Culture & Society, an MSc in Transpersonal Psychology & Consciousness Studies, a counselling diploma (with accreditation), and a Level 3 Award in Education & Training. I’ve developed practical mindfulness, emotional resilience, and critical thinking skills through both study and lived experience—and now I help others do the same. My sessions are gentle, creative, and trauma-informed, offering students tools to manage stress, build focus, and grow in confidence. I aim to identify and celebrate each student’s strengths while gently stretching their growing edges, supporting both academic progress and personal wellbeing. I also offer reflective tools, calming rituals, and tailored strategies to help learners feel safe, seen, and empowered in their studies.
