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."

Success in any subject area stems from confidence, and a thorough understanding of its core principles. I focus on building up a conceptual understanding from first principles, in a way that makes sense to the individual. I use different styles of teaching to keep students engaged, and provide them with skills and techniques which they can develop further in their own time before learning new skills in the next session.
In the lessons we build on new concepts together, and I prepare materials to allow you to consolidate in your own time before we review it in the next lesson. My expertise is French at all levels. I use a wide range of resources online, and prepare word document materials for lessons and for you to use at home in your own time.
I have been tutoring for three years and have had great reviews throughout.
I can teach French at all levels, and provide GCSE biology and chemistry lessons.
I have finished my 3rd year of Medical Degree (I am currently doing a masters in research), so I can provide very useful UKCAT/BMAT/UCAS advice in order to give you the best chance of getting into university for any chosen course.

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:)

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.

Hi, I'm Elena! I have recently graduated from the University of Oxford with a First Class Degree in Modern Languages and Literature (French and Italian). I have over three years experience tutoring Modern Languages, English Language and English Literature online and take a tailored approach to teaching. Whether you want to improve your vocabulary, translation skills, speaking fluency, or a bit of everything, I strive to instil my students with the skills to feel confident communicating in a foreign language.
I take a conscientious approach to teaching - making sure that I consolidate previous content as well as furthering my student's knowledge in order to ensure long term comprehension. I include mini tests and homework into my lesson structure and take into account my student's exam boards when planning lessons.
I also have experience tutoring English Literature up to GCSE level - teaching both essay writing technique and textual content. In particular I focus on helping my students develop their analytical skills and gain confidence in writing in detail and successfully about texts.
I achieved three A* grades at A Level, in History, French and English Literature and completed an EPQ. I also have extensive experience with the English curriculum of these subjects and have experience preparing students for entrance exams in prestigious schools.

I would like to help as many students as possible to overcome their fear of a subject and to build their confidence in their capabilities.
My qualifications:
- Masters Degree in Computer Science (which helped me to deepen my knowledge of Mathematical logistics and also improved my way of explaining different problems.)
-Maths GCSE grade 9
-Currently: Three months of experience in a PGCE course for teachers in the UK and it deepened my skills and knowledge of how to provide outstanding lessons to my students.
-Lots of experience on both face-to-face sessions as well as online tutoring on various other websites (with many 4 and 5-star reviews)
-Duolingo English qualification (IELTS level 7 equivalent).
I have started doing private tutoring here in the UK a number of years ago in order to share my knowledge with students as well as helping them to become confident with themselves and their capabilities. In my opinion, showing a student that they are able to solve a problem or understand something that they first thought out of reach can really improve their confidence and this is often the key to them achieving a good grade at school. Additionally, the lack of understanding from the previous years can prevent a student from learning during a lesson and make him or her feel demotivated by the subject. I believe I can manage to fix this by providing them with the right support and most importantly, going back to gaps in their knowledge that occurred in previous years. It is necessary for them to have a good foundation in their subject to help them move forward and be able to grasp more complex ideas.
Furthermore, I already taught many university and mature students as well and I am always happy to modify my teaching methods to fit the age of my student.
During my lessons, I aim to work at the pace of the students as it can help them not to be under pressure. I can give them all the support they need with an ear to listen to their worries and I provide lots of original exercises.
Finally, the best way to learn is with practice. I, therefore, engage my students during the lesson to think about the concept they are about to learn as it will help them to feel like they are achieving something by themselves rather than being given the solution too easily.
If you have any questions regarding my past or my teaching methods, please send me a message and it will be my pleasure to answer you.
I wish you all the best during your learning journey!

From 2018-2022 I studied French and Spanish at Queen's University Belfast and I have recently graduated with first class honours. My degree consisted mainly of grammar, translation and literature and in 2020 I moved to Madrid to teach English in a primary school.
I want to help students who are studying modern languages because I understand how difficult they can be, particularly the exams. I am passionate about foreign language learning, travel and culture and I love sharing my passion with others. I have one year of experience teaching English as a foreign language and I am currently working in a private school in Colombia, working with children who are just three years old, as well as students who are seventeen years old. I am also working with the English teachers to help them improve their level. In my spare time I work in a language centre giving classes to adult students who are hoping to improve their level of English.
In terms of individual lessons, I like to tailor my classes to a student's individuals needs. For example, if a student is struggling with a particular grammar topic I prepare a lesson to address this particularly difficult topic, to include PowerPoints and follow up activities to reinforce learning.
I am currently enjoying my time in Colombia and travelling has allowed me to learn more about the differences between particular Spanish dialects as well as the different cultures in the Spanish speaking world.
