Martina

Hello parents and carers!! I'm an enthusiastic, reliable and dedicated teacher with a passion for languages. I am a Certified Tutor as recognised by Training Qualifications UK, who are OFQUAL regulated. I am also a qualified teacher with QTS and a TESOL. I have been tutoring for years!

I am a bilingual foreigner: born in Italy, lived in South Africa and moved to England in 2012. I am thus a native speaker of Italian and English, with a British/South African accent. I studied French from the age of 10 onwards, so I am a fluent French speaker.

I have many years of experience teaching primary and secondary students as well as adults!

Tutoring Experience

Teaching in state schools and tutoring since 2012.
Running my own tutoring business for years!
I have taught MFL (French, Italian and Spanish) from Year 7 to Year 13.
I have tutored children as young as 2, working with gifted learners and SEN such as dyslexia and autism.
In tutoring I have focused on Literacy and Numeracy, French and Italian for beginners and intermediate students.
I have also taught English at 3 summer schools and several private schools for English as a Foreign Language.

My qualifications: Level 3 in Tutor Training, PGCE in English and Modern Foreign Languages, Trinity CertTESOL for teaching English as a foreign language.

Tutoring Approach

Tailored to the individual's needs. The first step is always for me to ask about the student's experience, goals, fears and requirements. From there I will tailor a program that suits that specific person, bearing in mind also their age.

Online and face-to-face. 1:1 and small groups.
