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."

My name is Jonah and I am a graduate in Spanish and Linguistics from University of Oxford. In addition to Spanish and linguistics, I am interested in, and tutor, a variety of other subjects, namely French, Portuguese, English language, English literature and Maths. My attitude towards tutoring revolves primarily around the confidence of a student, and I have observed first-hand the major role that self-belief plays in learning. In my experience, what can often hold a student back is a lack of self-belief rather than a lack of ability for a given subject. Therefore, my tutoring style places an emphasis on nurturing confidence in a student. For example, I encourage all of my students to ask questions (I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as a stupid question!) in order that they are completely clear on, and therefore, confident of, the subject matter. I have found that a student with a high level of self-belief has a much greater propensity to take the lead in sessions and, as a result, to learn more efficiently and to enjoy the given subject!
My extensive knowledge of language (I speak Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian) and understanding of linguistics put me in a perfect position to tutor and teach these subjects as there are few language-related difficulties that I have not before encountered myself as a student. My number one priority in teaching languages is the student's understanding of grammar as knowledge of the structure of language is both what is rewarded at the higher end of mark schemes and what gives the student confidence when they come to use their language skills. That said, I am fully aware of the importance of practicing the spoken element of a given language and in this way, learning more intuitively. In my opinion, a happy balance between the two is most conducive to language learning.
In many ways the formulaic, structured and rule-based nature of language is reminiscent of mathematics and perhaps it is for this reason that I chose to study it at A level. Although I did not go on to study maths at university, it was my favourite subject by the end of my school career and I often wish I had taken it further. As with languages, I believe confidence is key to the apprehension of mathematics and, therefore, I encourage my students to see maths as a series of puzzles to be solved rather than a set of daunting exam questions.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch for any further questions!

I am a native French speaker so I am able to help people master the accent, expressions and the subtilties of French. I worked in a language school in Nicaragua for a year. I taught group and individual lessons of French and English.
Throughout that same year I received extensive Spanish lessons and got daily exposure to the language and I’m now able to converse fluently.
I am approchable and patient.

I am currently studying for a DPhil in Pharmacology at the University of Oxford, having completed an undergraduate and masters in Biochemistry also at University of Oxford. I finished schooling at North London Collegiate School where I gained 45/45 in the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. I have had previous experience tutoring IB biology, chemistry, English, maths and economics as well as GCSE French, English, maths, biology and chemistry.
I believe in altering my teaching style according to the student and have had experience in tutoring a variety of different academic abilities and ages. I am extremely organised and am happy to go above and beyond in regards to preparation and gathering resources to help the student. My experience in tutoring for IB and GCSE means that I am good at ensuring that all parts of the syllabus are covered and that the student is well informed of what’s expected in the exam. 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.

Hi, I'm Elena! I graduated from the University of Oxford with a First Class Degree in Modern Languages and Literature (French and Italian). I have over four 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 have experience tutoring English Literature and Language 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 have extensive experience with Oxbridge admissions support - I have supported students with application to Oxford and Cambridge, guiding them through the entire process. I offer personal statement sessions, draft reviews, and mock interviews.

Hello, this is Sem!
I am an LLB Graduate from Queen Mary University of London and I have finished my LLM in Energy and Natural Resources Law at Queen Mary University of London. I am working in a law firm which specialises in Energy & Technology Law and doing online tutoring at the same time. I have taught more than 50 students in the past three years, prepared them for exams, helped them with courseworks and enhanced their knowledge. I also taught children, assisted them for learning a new language (both French and Turkish).
Thus, I am native in Turkish, fluent in French and English, intermediate in Spanish.
I am a very organised, disciplined and patient person.
Moreover, I went to a French School from the age of 3 until 8, which is called Lycée Français Pierre Loti d'Istanbul, and I got my French Baccalaureate with Mention Tres Bien (16.2/20).
All in all, my main goal is to help, motivate and support students to achieve their best. The most effective way to do this is by making sure that students understand each topic and do not hesitate to ask any questions. Thus, at the end of each session I am summarising what has been covered during the lesson. During the lessons, I am including real-life examples and stories that I have encountered in order to help the student remember and better understand.

Hi, my name is Beth! I'm 23 years old and have completed a degree in Biomedical Science at the University of Birmingham, graduating with a first class honours degree and am now in my third year of MBChB Graduate Medicine! I am really passionate about science and it was my decision to pursue this at university after studying both Biology and Chemistry at A Level. I also studied French and History A Level, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed! I am very passionate about my education and believe that teaching others is an essential skill for everybody to develop throughout their academic career. Now that I have completed my undergraduate degree and complete the first two years of Graduate Medicine, I am looking forwards to pursuing my dream of becoming a doctor.
I have some tutoring experience with GCSE Chemistry, Physics and French whilst at sixth form. I have also given revision lecture to audiences of up to 100 people at university to support the revision of other years on the Biomedical Science programme. I would really like to continue tutoring and share the knowledge that I have gained. I love to teach others and support in their learning and look forward to future sessions.
With regards to my teaching style, I am very organised, keen on good time management and preparation prior to sessions. I like to get to know the student's learning style and tailor my lessons to suit their current ability and what they would like to achieve. I believe in stating with an overview of the topic, before going into the detail, having a more general discussion before going into the key points to remember. I try to suggest ways of remembering tricky concepts and then spend the final portion of the session going over exam questions and looking closely at the mark scheme to ensure the student is hitting all the necessary points.
A little bit more about me - I have various hobbies from playing the flute, ballet and having multiple leadership roles at university. I also work with a charity called Global Brigades which works to empower partner communities around the world, particularly through healthcare support. In August 2022 I will be travelling with a group of fellow students to Honduras to support the set up of Medical clinics within a community!
I look forward to hearing from you!
Beth

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.
