7About Me
Hello! I’m Molly and I am currently studying Modern and Medieval Languages (Spanish and Portuguese) at Selwyn College, Cambridge. I achieved 10 Grade 9s at GCSE and 3 A*s in Spanish, History and Politics.
I achieved a First Class with Distinction in my second year at university and came 2nd out of 134 students. I know the effort and hard work required to achieve academic excellence and I would love to help others reach their potential and improve their grades.
Learning languages is my passion. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and I am currently teaching myself French and Italian from scratch. I also took classes in British Sign Language and Catalan at university. My years of experience in language learning mean I know the most effective and fun ways to master a language. It is an incredibly rewarding process and I look forward to working with you to achieve your language-learning goals.
Having gone through the Cambridge admissions process myself, I know what Oxbridge are looking for with personal statements, admission tests and interviews. I was the first in my family to go to university and studying at Cambridge is an incredibly enriching experience. So I hope to help others achieve their dreams also.
My teaching style
I believe language learning is most effective when it doesn’t feel like learning! I adopt a friendly and fun approach. We will talk in the language about the student’s interests and other engaging topics, while dedicating time to exam practice also. I will speak as much in the foreign language as possible to give students total immersion in the language.
My past experience
I have informally taught English to Latin American students online. It was a very rewarding experience to help them progress from a very basic level of English to being able to conduct interviews in English for jobs.
My Proudest Achievements
Coming 1st in my year for Portuguese and 2nd for Spanish in my first year at Cambridge. And also when the Mexican student I was tutoring secured a job with John Deere and he told me he couldn’t have done it without me.
