Hi! My name is Paula, and I am British-Chilean. I have a PGCE from which I graduated with a 1st, over 9 years of experience teaching languages, and have been an official examiner for A Levels and GCSEs.
When teaching students that are preparing for their exams, I adopt an exam-focused approach, dedicating time to each language skill—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—individually. I incorporate past papers into lessons to build confidence and develop effective exam strategies.
I also teach students in primary, as well as adults wishing to start or continue learning a language. For younger learners, my approach is interactive, utilising videos, songs, and games to make learning engaging. For adult learners, depending on your targets, our focus can be anywhere from conversation to career-oriented language, and we would use a variety of media too. I tailor my lessons to each student’s goals and unique learning style, and I believe in making studying fun and motivating. This way, a student can build confidence, improve learning effectiveness, and maximise their potential.
My students consistently achieve excellent progress and have fun during our lessons. In our first session, I will assess your current level, determine key targets, and create a tailored program designed to help you achieve your goals.

I am a multilinguist with considerable experience in teaching French and Spanish to a diverse range of students. I have a 100% success rate in terms of my students improving their academic grades.
I am extremely passionate about my subject and committed to understanding and engaging with each new student's learning needs. I tailor my individual teaching programmes to ensure each student is able to develop and move confidently towards their goal, whether it be academic or personal.
I choose to work with students who are committed to working towards their goal - they don't have to love the subject to begin with, they just have to want to improve, the love comes later, often when they discover how simple it can be and they start to see improvements in their ability and understanding!
Among my previous students are Yas, a Spanish GCSE student who went from a predicted D to receiving an A* overall in 14 months, Roderick, who with no prior teaching since his French GCSE 16 months before we began, received an A* at French A Level after 7 months of home-schooling with me and Kendall, a French IB student who went from grade 3/4 to achieving a final grade 6/7 in 20 months - she called me up in Guatemala on results day so I knew it must be good news!
Testimonials:
"James tutored both my daughters for GCSE Spanish and they both received A*. This was particularly impressive with my eldest daughter who was on a Grade D at the end of Year 10. James accelerated Yasmin's learning rapidly over 6 months in Year 11, and changed her attitude towards Spanish from a boring difficult subject to her favourite! Aside from his in-depth understanding of the curriculum and effective teaching techniques, James is a lovely person with a great sense of humour, and the girls really enjoyed his company. We'd highly recommend James to anyone wanting to improve their grades and language skills."
Zaya F - Spanish GCSE
"James was simply brilliant in giving my son confidence in his ability to learn languages, which ultimately led to GCSE success. He possesses a magical ability to build self-esteem. Invaluable. Fabulous. Very highly recommended."
Donna G – French & Spanish IGCSE
"James tutored me in French for just over a year for the international baccalaureate. Marked out of 7, I originally achieved 3-4s in all my examinations. James helped with reading, writing and oral presentations. He helped me to increase my confidence in speaking and also taught me invaluable techniques for verb conjugations. In the end I was able to achieve a 6/7 in my final IB results. Thank you James !"
Kendall U - French International Baccalaureate
"James was instrumental in getting my son to an A* for his Spanish A Level this year. Over a period of 8 months James worked to improve Omar’s original predicted grade of B, focussing on some core grammar which had been missed by the school and developing his reading, writing and oral skills. James often made himself available at short notice to review and offer feedback on Omar’s practice essays for the literature part of the course. We are delighted with the result and with the high level of professional service that James provides. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend."
Mehta F - Spanish A Level
“My daughter Chloe was struggling with Spanish during year 11, she failed her mock and was really worried. We found James and he worked steadily with her for the three months leading up to her GCSE. I’m delighted to say she achieved a 6(B)!! Incredible...a fail to a B in only 25 hours tutoring! Thank you James, she couldn’t have done it without you!”
Beth W – Spanish GCSE
James tutored my daughter for just over a year at French Pre-U. Our aim was to secure a comfortable distinction. James knew the syllabus inside out and ensured no stone had been left unturned in her knowledge and exam technique. We were delighted but not too surprised when the final result came back a D1. We’re thrilled with James, his approach and the care he brings to each session. Such a star.
Mikael J – Cambridge Pre U French
"James is an amazing teacher. He got my daughter to a B in French GCSE from a predicted D, and my son to a B in Spanish GCSE from a predicted E. This helped my daughter to get to UCL and put the Russell Group within my son's reach. His teaching style is unique. Within minutes of arrival, he had won the respect of both my teenagers. He made himself available at weekends and in the evenings both in person and over Skype. I am so grateful for his help. I highly recommend him."
Rachel G - French & Spanish GCSE
"James is an outstanding teacher - he taught my son to find his own motivation & the confidence he needed to excel in Spanish. He brings the language to life and creates a self sufficiency in study habits that was wonderful to observe - the GCSE process was made palatable and non daunting ! I would wholly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor that cares about the child in the most holistic sense and leaves them with the skills to tackle languages independently post their time with him - he was an absolute star !"
Shaleen Y - Spanish IGCSE
"James is one of the best tutors I have ever met. He is clearly passionate about teaching and has such an engaging and enthusiastic manner. Anyone who is lucky enough to come across James has found a true gem. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
Helen S - Spanish GCSE

Hi there,
My name is Christian. I’ve recently finished my MA in Comparative Literary Studies, specialising in American literature, Theory and Culture at Goldsmiths University, and am looking to pursue a career in education. I’m passionate about making the humanities engaging and enjoyable, which I feel is something easily achievable through patience, creativity and strong relationships between a student and teacher. Where I thrive is when i'm helping to make literature, philosophy, critical theory, as well as the many tenants of writing effective essays understandable and accessible to a range of students from varying backgrounds and educational requirements.
Before my MA program, I completed my BA in English and American Literature at Goldsmiths University London in 2018. While my studies have mainly centred on American literature so far, the flexible nature of my program has enabled me to study a wide breadth of literature as well texts of a different medium from a multitude of cultures and periods. While providing me with a firm grasp of the major cultural, artistic and literary movements, my studies have greatly developed my analytic abilities across a range of different systems of thought. Teaching me to effectively; distil complex information into an accessible format, develop lines of critical reasoning, and construct compelling arguments from independent research. These abilities, when paired with open and clear channels of communication, prove invaluable as a teacher, allowing me to lead students through studies which might initially seem challenging and complicated, to a comprehensive understanding of the subject at hand. In regards to my particular areas of specialism, I have an in-depth understanding of contemporary American fiction and continental philosophy, having written both my undergraduate and graduate thesis’ on the intersections of the two. And concerning my past academic performance, I was awarded an upper second class honours for my undergraduate degree and have recently received a high level merit for my MA program.
I've tutored many students one to one over the past year in subjects ranging from English literature and Language to general essay writing, and I'd love to build upon my experience to teach those at a variety of different levels. Counterpart to this, I'm a versatile and effective proof reader, having successfully helped my students draft and edit countless essays.
To paint a bit more of a picture about myself; in my free time I organise a series of philosophy reading groups, write creatively, do lots of reading for both research and pleasure, and cycle more than I maybe should.

I am a highly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience teaching and tutoring in private and public schools, as well as privately and online, in the UK, France and Spain. I am familiar with all major exam boards, and have been frequently noted for the passion and rigor with which I introduce and teach my subjects.
I am a firm believer in the idea that education should be available to all, and that there is is student without potential. I thus make a point to help the student see the attraction of the subject.
My methodology is focused on ensuring immersion in both the more theoretical and abstract principles of the subect and their application through practice and concrete examples. I aim to get the student applying themselves consistently as soon as possible, keeping a constant eye out for areas for improvement.
I studied at the University of Warwick, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne.
I have worked as a teacher, tutor, translator, researcher, as well as business research and charity.
I am fluent in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
I am also a teacher of Latin and Greek.

Dynamic Language Educator: German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew
Welcome to my profile! I am an enthusiastic and experienced language teacher specialised in German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew. With a rich background in academia, I served as a university lecturer for seven years. Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to teaching German, Italian, Latin and Hebrew at all proficiency levels.
**GCSE, A-Level & IB**
I am particularly skilled in preparing students for key examinations, including GCSE (National 5), A-Level (Higher) and IB across various boards such as AQA, EDEXCEL, SQA, and more. Over the past six years, I have successfully guided numerous pupils through these critical assessments.
**Professional Development and Personal Enrichment**
In addition to academic tutoring, I have collaborated with professionals seeking to enhance their language skills for career advancement or personal enrichment. My flexible scheduling approach accommodates the diverse needs of busy professionals, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
**Customised Learning Approach**
Recognising that each learner is unique, I craft personalized lesson plans to align with individual goals and learning styles. I believe in a student-centred approach, allowing learners to progress at their own pace without the constraints of a rigid methodology.
**Assessment and Goal Setting**
Our journey begins with an initial assessment to gauge your current proficiency. Through conversation and a brief reading exercise, I quickly ascertain your starting level. This evaluation is crucial in developing a structured learning plan with clear milestones, which are particularly beneficial for GCSE/A-Level pupils. Regular goal setting fosters motivation and ensures efficient, cost-effective learning.
**Comprehensive Feedback and Support**
I am committed to providing continuous feedback and support throughout your language learning journey. Homework assignments are an integral part of the process, and I review and provide insights on the work submitted.
**Balanced Lesson Structure**
Each lesson is thoughtfully divided into three complementary segments:
1. Speaking and Listening - Enhancing conversational skills and auditory comprehension.
2. Grammar - Building a strong foundation in language structure.
3. Reading - Developing reading proficiency and comprehension.
Thank you for considering me as your language tutor. I am excited about the opportunity to embark on this linguistic journey with you.

I am a current teacher and I have been teaching for eleven years. I first started tutoring at the age of sixteen, when I was recruited by the company that supported me with tutoring. Therefore I have nineteen years of tutoring experience!
No student I have ever taught has been the same, therefore I place priority on individually tailored lessons. Most students come to me with a weakness or lack of confidence in the subject they need support with and I throughly enjoy seeing them sail through exams because they have been shown the appropriate technique and exactly how to hit those top marks. It's been so enjoyable having students and parents message me straight after exams in regards to how confident they felt. As a tutor I regularly check in with parents/guardians with monthly reports and examples of work so you can see the progress for yourselves.
However, the support doesn't stop once students have sat their exams. I offer free UCAS and personal statement support to previous tutees to support them in their ongoing learning journey.

At present in my early 50s. I began teaching, in a London tutorial college, straight after coming down from Oxford. A few years after that, I interrupted my teaching career to return to university to pursue doctoral research, but I continued to see a small number of private students throughout my time as a post-graduate student. Accordingly, I have somewhere in the region of thirty years’ experience of helping students to realise their potential and, quite often, to exceed their expectations of themselves.
My original specialisms were English Language and Literature, and these remain subjects I enjoy teaching immensely, but I have equal experience by now in History of Art, Philosophy, Film Studies, and Religious Studies, each of which I have taught to A level students and undergraduates. I also specialise in Pre-U English.
The following is a quotation from the reference supplied by the school from which I resigned last year, after twenty years as Head of English and de facto Head of Humanities, in order to focus on private tuition:
‘Bill’s main virtues as a teacher […] are his infectious enthusiasm for his subjects, his immense knowledge and erudition, his intimate familiarity with past papers and assessment criteria, his commitment to his pupils, his willingness to make supererogatory efforts on their behalf, his provision of extensive and meticulous course notes, and his generosity with his time.’

What can an A Level tutor do for me?
An A Level English Language tutor will improve your confidence and knowledge in preparation for your A Level English exams and coursework. With a private tutor, you can work to get an A in your English Language A Level and secure the grades you need for further study.
How does tutoring work?
For English, a private tutor will help you hone your comparative writing skills, your readings of fiction and non-fiction texts and show you how to write an A grade essay. Working 1-1 with an English Language tutor means you get to ask the questions you don't get to in a busy classroom and cover topics which you didn't fully understand in school.
Which tutor do I choose?
Our English tutors are all experienced, friendly and highly qualified. You might like to look through several tutor profiles before you choose one; take a look at tutor's reviews, teaching style and experience before deciding.
Finding an A-Level English tutor near me
