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."

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.

Bonjour!
I am a 28-year-old native French speaker from the South of France. I have been living in London for over 4 years and have several years of experience teaching French to a variety of people, from young children to adults.
After obtaining my high school diploma I became an au pair in the US and taught French to the children in my care (8, 12, and 15 years old). Seeing them enjoy the acquisition of new skills gave me great satisfaction!
When I returned to France I studied Tourism and Marketing at University. After completing my Bachelor's degree, I decided to move to London (2017) and put my knowledge into practice as a tour guide, alongside tutoring.
In February 2020 I volunteered to help to build a school in Uganda (Abode School Project). One of the missions was to share our teaching technique with primary school teachers as well as teaching them French and English. It was such a privilege to share my language and culture, whilst learning about Ugandan customs and traditions. This experience was very inspiring and has prompted me to teach French regularly, back in London!
Today, I'm teaching French at all levels and I'm passionate about it.
At the moment, I teach online, with the possibility of doing lessons in person in the future when the circumstances allow it again.
I adapt my lessons to each person's individual needs and goals and I make sure all aspects of the language are covered - written and oral comprehension as well as written and oral expression.
My approach is also to make the lessons as fun and enjoyable as possible as well as helping students to gain confidence. I encourage them to try and find answers themselves, even if they are not fully sure. It is important not to be too self-conscious about making mistakes... everyone does!
Outside of tutoring, I love to spend time traveling, meeting new people, exploring new cultures. I am also a ballet dancer and I do a lot of yoga!
I’m very flexible with my hours, I can work weekdays/on the weekend/in the evening.
Au plaisir de te rencontrer,
A bientôt!

Hi! I'm a French native speaker with a master's degree in English Studies, fully TEFL and TOEFL qualified. I've had more than 10 years of experience teaching French and English to all ages, including several years working at Chinese Universities. I am a patient, understanding, and dedicated teacher who loves to share his passion and find the best ways to help students achieve their goals.
If you are in a hurry, here are some reasons why I could be the right teacher for you:
1. What if English is not enough?
Many English native speakers can only speak English. And they cannot always communicate exactly what they are trying to teach.
I speak English, French, Spanish and I have basic notions of Chinese.
I will surely find a way to express my meaning more clearly if English is not enough.
And I can also teach you French and Spanish. I have experience teaching oral French (high school and university) and my Spanish level is Intermediate.
2. What if you can’t understand me?
People think that the most important quality for a teacher is knowledge. But I believe that it is ‘sharing knowledge’.
Good teachers know how to communicate differently according to their students’ personalities and language levels.
I have worked with children, teenagers, university students, and adults. I am quite flexible in my methods.
3. What if I you are afraid of making a mistake?
I have helped hundreds of students over the years. I gained their trust by being friendly, patient and approachable.
I will encourage you and provide the right feedback to make sure you are pushed forward and rewarded by your efforts.
4. What if you are bored?
As memory is connected to our emotions, we progress much faster when we take pleasure in learning something!
So, we will work together to find the topic that is right for you.
The same way, teachers should only teach what they are passionate about. I could teach you Maths, but we would both hate the experience :)
So, I will teach you English. Besides, with living half my life outside my own country, how can I not be passionate about foreign languages?
5. What if you want to give up?
Learning a foreign language takes a lot of time and practice. The most important is to find the right support and not give up.
English is not my native tongue, so I can better understand the problems you might face and help you accordingly.
Hope to teach you soon :)
Please note that I am currently ONLY giving online lessons.
Now, here's a little more about myself
I am a French native speaker, with an MA in English studies, and fully qualified with TOEFL and TEFL (Level 5, 168hrs) certifications.
I have provided excellent customer service for renowned international companies, such as Apple and The Eiffel Tower.
More importantly, I’ve spent the last nine years teaching English and French in Chinese universities and private schools.
My students really enjoyed my class and I was often asked to take part in extra-curricular activities: I judged debates in English,
hosted movie nights, and I even had to stand - in front of a thousand people! - to read a speech.
I specialize in oral communication for teenagers and adults who understand basic English, but who are not satisfied with their speaking ability (lack of confidence, people can’t understand you properly…). I also have experience in working with children (primary schools and private tutoring) and I will adapt my content according to your needs as best as I can.
Following your requirements, I will prepare a class on a topic we choose together – I love talking about anything, in particular movies, foreign cultures, and Art. We will focus on what you want to learn (speaking, reading, listening, grammar, vocabulary, exams…).
My method is to create a relaxed and trusting atmosphere, where you should enjoy yourself and not be afraid of failure.
I will prepare presentations, share videos and audio, focus on real-life situations, and whenever possible I will stimulate you with some brainstorming to boost your conversation skills.
My goal is to accompany you in your study of English to make you more confident and independent.
And for me, it's always a pleasure to see my students improve so much after only a few lessons!
Thank you for reading all the way:)

Over the past six years, I have worked as both a private tutor and a schoolteacher, teaching predominantly English and Spanish to students of all ages and abilities both in person and online. My passion for languages began at the age of three, when I emigrated from my native Bulgaria to England, where I promptly learnt English despite having no previous knowledge of the language. Later, I briefly dabbled in French, which I would go on to study in secondary school. It was there that I began studying Spanish, taking to it immediately. Subsequently, I studied Spanish, along with English Literature, at GCSE, achieving A* and A respectively, and later at A-Level, achieving B and A* respectively. Shortly thereafter, I advanced my studies to a higher level at the University of Reading, graduating with a BA (Hons) degree in both subjects in 2019. Knowing from personal experience how challenging learning a language can be (especially given that English grammar is seldom taught in English schools), I aim to facilitate the process for my students by tailoring my tuition to their individual needs; sending notes consistently throughout the lesson; ensuring they are confident in their new-found knowledge before progressing; and offering a wide variety of resources to aid their learning. While many are initially reluctant to try online tuition, preferring the traditional face-to-face method, after just one session, the vast majority come to find that it is the more convenient option, as it is faster and more time- and cost-effective. Personable, passionate and productive, my mission is to make learning both easy and enjoyable.

Hi! I'm David, a student at the University of Edinburgh. I love reading, cooking, swimming, and playing the piano. I have two years of experience in tutoring, as I spearheaded a volunteering program during my last two years of high school to tutor kids in a wide array of subjects. Therefore, I am trained to tutor in most high school subjects, although I am best at tutoring science subjects (biology, chemistry, and mathematics.) I am always open to new ideas and different methods of teaching in order to provide the best experience for my tutees. I look forward to helping as much as possible, so contact me in order to set up a free trial session, so that we can establish learning goals and design a strategy to achieve them.

My name is Will, and I am an environmental practitioner with a distinction in MSc Environmental Impact Assessment and Management from the University of Manchester. Having achieved an A* at GCSE, an A* at A-level and a first-class degree with honours in geography, I firmly believe I am meant to teach the next generation about environmental, geographical and scientific phenomena. I am fuelled by a passion for the natural world and a need to teach the human world about meeting the natural world's basic needs. I studied this set of subjects because there will be a considerable need for environmental knowledge and new practitioners in this field in the future!
I have been a part-time online tutor for years now, and I have tutored a range of subjects from geography to English literature. I have also taken part in peer education, where I tutored mathematics. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing my students gain confidence in areas they thought they never would. My personal aim for tutoring is to inspire the next generation to become passionate about the world around us! It all starts with good quality education.
I like to teach lecture style for the first few lessons with interactive sections. As lessons move on, I like to work on questions and focus on activities that will enhance students' ability to succeed. I firmly believe tutoring is less about transferring knowledge and more about improving skills that enable success. The skills I teach my students are skills they will likely use throughout the rest of their lives! These skills are sometimes transferable throughout subjects and occasionally specific to topics. Crucially, I will adapt to how each individual student works!
As you may tell, I am a tutor who loves the natural world! In my spare time, I enjoy surfing, rock climbing and running! Pretty much anything that connects me with the phenomena I seek to learn about in my education!
Here is a little taster for you:
Have you ever considered the first rule of Geography? Or even heard of it? Many people actually haven't! But this relatively unknown rule is possibly one of the most comprehensive and inspiring rules I have ever encountered. Here it is:
"Everything is related to everything else. But near things are more related than distant things"
Now take some time to think about it and we can discuss this in our first session! I look forward to meeting you!

One of my IB students was recently admitted to Tufts University in Massachusetts while other students that I am currently tutoring for SAT are currently applying for numerous highly ranked American Universities.
