Florence

Hi there,

My name is Florrie and it is a pleasure to meet you. I have been working as Removed tutor since graduating in 2016 from the University of Cambridge and I love my job. Currently, I live between the UK and Mexico, so I am also always learning about new languages and cultures.

I look forward to meeting you soon :)

Tutoring Experience

• Language tutor in Spanish and French (GCSE/ A Levels) 2014-2021
• English as a foreign language tutor (2016-2021) - I have worked with many many different students, from 5 year olds up until the age of 70. One of the great joys of my job is to work with people from all walks of life.
• English teacher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico under the British Council (2016-2018)
• Manager of Oxford Spires Academy summer school at Cambridge (2018)
• Director of BEE Collective, a small online collective based in Mexico, dedicated to transforming language learning little by little.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is above all motivational. When I was studying languages, I had the great fortune of having teachers that actually made me enjoy the subject, which transformed the drudgery to a lifetime of fascination and travel. If I could give a little of this back to my own students, it would be a job well done.

I like to have fun with my subjects, including games and the interests of the student wherever possible. This is, of course, not to the detriment of structure within my classes. I believe in following a course, making sure that you understand said course, be it grammar or literature, and thus ensuring fantastic results. I have helped numerous students enter to top universities, such as Harvard in the US, LSE, Oxford, Cambridge and so on. I have also helped many students to ace their 11+ exams, allowing them entrance to many of the top private schools in the UK.

I have spent my entire life learning languages and analysing literature, therefore I know all too well what makes a subject worth learning, which in many cases is a good teacher. I have honed my own teaching style by listening to others who have taught me, from my teachers at Cambridge to what I have learned in Mexico. What works is above all dependant on the needs of the student, so in conclusion, this will always be reflected at the centre of my classes.
