I have finished at the University of Warwick with a 2.1 BA (Hons) in French Studies with Italian, I have lived in Paris and spent several summers in Italy teaching and learning both French and Italian, as well as teaching English to foreign speakers of all ages.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught at primary schools, worked with young adults and secondary school students and am adaptable to any teaching style or approach - I can work in small groups, whole classes or individual learning environments, having been both a tutor and teaching assistant in recent years.

Tutoring Approach

I understand how language can be taught extremely tediously at school and thus in later life learning a language seems like a mammoth task; out of reach when school knowledge doesn't always cover day-to-day situations and can seem very irrelevant. I hope to turn this expectation of language learning completely upside down and instill the excitement and thrill I get from speaking and using foreign languages, to all ages, at any level - I believe everyone can learn and speak different languages and I work hard to make my teaching interesting, topical and fun.
