I have a double nationality (French and Portuguese) and I was born in France, were I lived until my third year degree. My family is all Portuguese so I have spoken Portuguese since I was born too. I live in Hackbridge, Wallington, South London. I have been in the UK for 14 years now.

Tutoring Experience

I have worked as an MFL (French and Spanish) teacher since 2012. I worked in different types of schools but mainly in girls school and Catholic schools. I have prepared students for the AQA exam board as well as the Edexcel exam board. I have taught from Y7 up to Y13 both in French and in Spanish. I'm currently the Head of Department for languages at Tolworth Girls School in Surbiton.

Tutoring Approach

I have been trained following the Cumbria's approach to teaching languages and the Conti's methodology which are interactive approaches to learning languages. These are communicative approaches. In the classroom, I am committed to widening pupils’ perspective but mostly, I commit myself to raising the attainment of pupils and ensuring they achieve their full potential. To raise the attainment of pupils, I make sure that the pupils are able to use the language spontaneously in meaningful interactions by giving them support and by scaffolding the interaction language vocabulary. As a private tutor, I will ensure that I focus on the needs of the individual student I am working with. More often than not, tutees want to be prepared for their exams and therefore I focus on the gaps and areas of improvement which are not being covered in class anymore. I make sure the tutee knows what they need to know for their exam. I adapt my resources to the individual needs of the tutee.
