University of Oxford certified Head of Modern Foreign Languages department specialising in speaking and grammar.

I have been teaching in secondary education for over 10 years and have a deep understanding of GCSE and A-Level exam boards for Modern Languages, as well as being able to build a rapport with young people. Having completed my PGCE at the University of Oxford, I worked as Head of Department at a secondary school. I worked with A-level and GCSE students on a daily basis and understand the requirements to achieve top grades in these exams. I have a thorough knowledge of Modern Languages and have a degree in French and Hispanic Studies from the University of Nottingham. I love travelling, I enjoy honing my Spanish skills in Mexico, Central America, and South America. I am always up for sharing travel stories! I am also passionate about football, Chelsea are my team (controversial, I know!), and music, I love to discover new artists from around the world.

I am a dynamic and enthusiastic teacher and aim to deliver tutor sessions that allow for rapid academic progression. All sessions will have clear and challenging goals in order for students to reach their maximum potential. I have taught extensively online using Microsoft Teams, Zoom and on tutoring platforms. I have excellent IT skills and am confident in my ability to impart knowledge in an online classroom. I aim to make the learning process enjoyable and rewarding. My strengths lie in my ability to build a good relationship with learners, tailoring classes to suit their individual learning style, while fostering a deep understanding of the Spanish language. I have a wide range of resources that I use to engage a wide variety of linguistic and cultural interests in my students. Having taught thousands of students over my teaching career, I am usually able to find something to spark the interest of any person!
