I love languages not only for academic reasons but also for personal enjoyment. Before training as a teacher I worked as a midwife in Switzerland and Germany. This experience gave me good inter-cultural understanding and a strong belief that languages really can take you further. I love learning other languages and am currently studying Irish which is challenging and reminds me what it is like to be a student!
I am a qualified teacher of Modern Foreign Languages and have experience of preparing pupils for GCSE and A level examinations. I have taught French, German and Spanish in secondary schools, and French in adult education. I am currently teaching in Primary and Secondary schools and teaching adults individually and in group lessons.
When taking on students I establish what their needs are in terms of current ability and desired outcome of tuition. I believe that language learning should be fun and use a variety of activities to help students achieve their goals. I tailor lessons to students' needs, whether academic, personal or professional. I use a variety of teaching methods and resources, according to needs, learning style and time available. I am a patient teacher, and enjoy helping students make progress in their language-learning.
