I help students succeed in any area of French or Spanish. Perhaps you are studying for exams and could use a tutor to boost your confidence and knowledge? Or perhaps you are a little older and want to refresh a rusty skill for holidays or pleasure?
I offer local one to one or online sessions, planned and tailored to your individual needs and wishes.
I take pride in offering reliable and personal service and thorough preparation. Follow up advice and help between lessons is a pleasure.
From beginners to advanced, no one is too young or too old. I will help you increase your confidence and to enjoy talking in another language - it's what I love doing.

Tutoring Experience

Secondary teaching in South and West Yorkshire 1996 to 2005 including Head of MFL 2000 - 2002.
Tutoring students and adults privately since 2016, face to face and online. French Spanish and English from 11 years old to adults.

Tutoring Approach

I bring a calm, encouraging and supportive approach to my teaching. I listen to the student's problems and where there are experiencing difficulty. I prepare and adapt sessions appropriately with regular reviews along the way. Everyone learns slightly differently! I aim to overlap with areas being studied at school to effectively reinforce those areas of knowledge and boost confidence.
