I offer a proven track record for improving attainment (see ‘Home’, ‘Testimonials’), by inspiring enjoyment of languages through well-prepared, individually tailored, engaging lessons.

My approach is warm, supportive, and dynamic. I get to know my students and use insight gained from my psychology qualification to create a ‘safe space’ optimal for achievement and wellbeing. In our lessons you will never be judged for your questions or for getting something wrong. These things are key to learning and are encouraged - so be curious, attempt to make that link, be a risk taker and have a go!

I believe the core to success is being taught in a way you can learn, and so I always strive to adapt my teaching methods and materials to suit individual needs. Through this I am able to motivate and inspire students towards high standards and lifelong learning, including those with anxieties surrounding their languages abilities.

I understand the mental health challenges of young people, and having two daughters educated in multiple countries, I have personal experience of the impact of change, the pressures faced with examinations, and further education choices.
