About Me
Experienced online teacher and tutor of French and Spanish, with more than five years’ of teaching experience, both online and in-person. First-class honours in Modern Languages (French and Spanish) from the University of Bristol and PGCE with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) from the University of Manchester. Prior to teaching worked in the House of Commons and HM Treasury through the prestigious Graduate Fast Stream programme for UK civil servants.
Exam preparation for all exam boards and levels: GCSE, A-Level, IB, and general language classes from beginner to advanced level for adults. As a Brit who has mastered two European languages to near-native level, I understand the unique challenges faced by native English speakers when it comes to learning languages. I will keep you motivated and get you results! I am very friendly, approachable and patient. Maximising student confidence and enjoyment is as important to me as improving grades (though normally these things all go hand in hand).
Currently live in Huelva, Spain with my partner, baby boy and cat!
