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

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.

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!

I am an experienced and highly motivated languages and humanities tutor, having recently graduated from Oxford University with a first in German and Turkish. I have recently been through the whole exam process from GCSE to Uni applications, so I am well-equipped to help you across a range of subjects.
I have worked as a one-one German tutor up to A-Level and as a classroom assistant in a primary school, meaning I have a range of experience across levels and age groups. I like to teach in as friendly and fun a way as possible, always looking for new ways into a subject; I also tailor my lesson plans to individual students' aims, needs and interests.
I teach a range of subjects from languages (German, French, Turkish and Latin) to humanities such as English Language and Literature, History and Politics, as well as personal statement and Oxbridge application help. In my spare time, I love films, music and anything culture-related.
I look forward to hearing from you!

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 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.
