Information About Samantha - Galway tutor -

(1 review)

Personal Description:

My name is Samantha, and I am 25 years old, and living in Navan, Co. Meath. I began tutoring a little over three years ago, after completing my undergraduate studies in French and Spanish at the University of Galway. I tutor in both French and Spanish, and teach mainly Junior and Leaving Certificate students online.

I am a passionate linguist, and my dream is to be able to speak multiple languages. I am really passionate about language learning, and I love tutoring, as it gives me the opportunity to support others in their language learning journey.

I am very aware that language learning can be sometimes uncomfortable, or even anxiety-inducing. My style of teaching aims to make the classroom a safe space, and is first and foremost student-focused; it's all about meeting each individual student where they are at, and helping them achieve their own personal goals!

Tutoring Experience:

I have three years experience tutoring Junior and Leaving Certificate French and Spanish students. I have a First Class Honours Degree in French and Spanish for the University of Galway, and I have lived in both France and Spain. My lessons are geared mainly towards students taking the Junior and Leaving Certificate exams, but I am also open to taking adults who would like to learn French and Spanish.

Approach to Grinds:

Each student has different aims and needs when it comes to language learning , and I build my lesson plans around you.

My lessons are normally 1 hour, and I like to incorporate a bit of everything - listening, speaking, writing and reading. As a long time language learner, I find variety keeps our brains engaged in the material. It keeps things fresh, while at the same time giving us the opportunity to practice all of our skills. I provide all the notes and materials for you, and I am also available to email during the school week if you are stuck on some homework, or would like me to look over something for you. I also like to incorporate in exam skills, and will work directly with exam papers and student textbooks, so that you can be as prepared as possible on the day of your exams.
