Personal Description:

I offer language tuition to adults wishing to improve their skills in Spanish, French, Italian or German. With my help you could see a real improvement in your skills and confidence.

You can probably tell from the number of languages I offer, foreign languages are a passion of mine. Helping others to learn is my dream job. I believe that anyone can learn a language and would love to help you.

Tutoring people like you is how I earn my living, so you can be assured my focus is on helping people to progress in their language learning.

Teaching Experience:

I have been offering language tuition services since 2010. Since then I have helped many people to progress in their language skills.

Most often people learn on a one-to-one basis. However, I have also helped people on a two-to-one basis, so if you wish to learn with a friend or family member, this is a possibility.

**Please note a small number of my reviews on this site relate to law tuition, which is something I used to offer (but no longer do).**

Teaching Approach:

To progress in a language, you need to understand how to use the language in an intuitive way.

Before starting tuition many people often are nervous about speaking the language, but may be able to read some or understand a limited amount of spoken language. Alternatively they may have lots of knowledge but lack confidence putting everything together. This is where tuition can help you. During our tuition sessions you will learn how the language works as well as improve your confidence.

Naturally there will be an emphasis on pronunciation.

Tuition would be orientated around your needs. In essence, tuition would be aimed at helping you as an individual to increase your knowledge and confidence using the language.

Learning a language is a process. Every tuition session you will look at some theory or vocabulary and there would be regular practice to help you to progress.

Booking language tuition with me would give you the opportunity not only to increase your knowledge of the language, but also your confidence using the language. I always aim to exceed your expectations and to support you in your learning process.

**All tuition is offered online only. For info: Since approximately mid-March 2020 or thereabouts all language tuition has been online. Prior to then language tuition was in person. I may possibly review what is offered in the future, but tuition remains exclusively online for the foreseeable future.**

*Important information regarding pricing*
- The pricing listed is based on regular weekly one-to-one tuition.

From Sue (5/5): I have had 3 beginner German on-line lessons with Adam and would highly recommend him. His communication to organise sessions is clear and very punctual. He has put effort into tailoring the lessons to my level of ability and requests, and has provided clear handouts of everything covered. Thank you Adam.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Sue,

Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it.

Thanks once again,
Adam

From Katherine (5/5): I have really enjoyed french lessons with Adam. The lessons are friendly, engaging and precise, and I have gained a lot more confidence with my language skills over the last few months. Would definitely recommend!

Reply from: Adam: Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it and enjoyed helping you. Thanks once again! Adam

From Dan (5/5): I have had quite a few lessons with Adam now and he has been an excellent tutor. Having done a bit of German a little while ago at GCSE, Adam has been great at bringing me back up to speed. Adam explains things in a clear and understandable way, and it is great to be able to finally understand concepts which I didn't understand before. Adam's lessons are well structured and his worksheets explain new concepts very well, with good examples to help understanding. He is always punctual and reliable, and excellent at communication.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Dan,

Thanks for your feedback. I´m really glad that you´re finding the sessions useful and look forward to seeing you at your next session.

Thanks once again.

Best wishes,
Adam

From Meg (5/5): I've now had a few online sessions with Adam, which have been excellent. I'm very much a beginner, adult learner so really needed to start with the absolute basics, which Adam has been particularly good at, compared to other tutors I have used in the past. I really feel like I'm getting to grips with the building blocks of the French language for the first time. I also particularly like Adam's worksheets, which are very well thought out and structured, so you always know what subject you're learning and how this fits with previous lessons.

He is very punctual and organised around holidays and needing to move the odd session to accommodate my work commitments. I would definitely recommend Adam for any adult leaners.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Meg,

Thanks for your feedback. It has been a pleasure to help you and I look forward to seeing you again soon for your next session!

Thanks once again.

Best regards,
Adam

From Angela (5/5): So far I’ve had just one lesson and I am very happy with the tutor. Seems a bit early to be giving a review on First Tutors!

Reply from: Adam: Hi Angela,

Thanks for your review (albeit at a very early stage of doing tuition) and I look forward to doing future sessions with you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Best regards,
Adam

From Nikki (5/5): We have found the sessions with Adam to be excellent, very informative with clear and concise examples given when further explanation is required on our part. Adam sends us all the required documentation well in advance and the sessions have been very well structured from the start. Adam communicates with us very well and the sessions are always on time. We always look forward to every session.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Nikki,

Thanks for your review. I´m really pleased that you´re finding the sessions useful and enjoyable.

It´s also a pleasure to help you both. You and your husband are both progressing well.

Take care and I look forward to seeing you both next week.

Best wishes,

From Rachel (5/5): I have been having French lessons with Adam for a couple of months now, and he is both very knowledgeable in the subject and very reliable. He is always available for communication and to answer any questions that I have, and the materials he provides for our sessions are clear and easy to understand. Whenever I do not understand something, he takes the time to go back over and explain it to me. I am looking forward to more lessons.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Rachel,

Thanks for taking the time to do a review and look forward to seeing you next week :-)

Adam

From Lewis (5/5): I've been having weekly French lessons with Adam for several months now and he's been great. He's been really patient and has laid out a really simple plan where we cover everything at a speed that never feels rushed. Adam always picks up on areas that need more attention and works that into the lessons.

Originally our lessons were in person, however due to current events we've moved them online temporarily and I can highly recommend both.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Lewis,

Thanks for your feedback. It is really appreciated and look forward to seeing you next week :-)

Reply from: Adam: Hi Natasha,

Best regards,
Adam

From Tom (5/5): Myself and my partner have been receiving Spanish tuition through Adam for just over a year and have enjoyed our time together. Adam is attentive and organised and thorough is his teaching. All lessons are structured but also going at a reasonable pace which suits us .Adam has also been flexible with our busy schedules which has been greatly appreciated. Highly recommend.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Tom,

Thanks for your feedback. It is always nice to hear that you have enjoyed your sessions.

From Jamie (5/5): I have been lucky in finding Adam as a tutor, he quickly assessed my learning needs and created a bespoke course over the 5 months I had. I am now off to Bremen to take up a Director's post confident I can deal with cope with everyday German. I feel he has accelerated me from complete beginner to close to intermediate level in the time he has been tutoring me. I would highly recommend him for anyone wishing to learn a language.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Jamie,

Thanks for your feedback and look forward to seeing you soon.

Best wishes,
Adam

From Nick (5/5): From the first contact Adam has been most informative explaining and setting out things clearly.
The lessons have been well structured and at a pace I am happy with.
Adam is very approachable and there is no problem for him to go over something again if required.
Overall I would recommend Adam for French tuition.

Reply from: Adam: Hi Nick,

Thanks a million for your feedback. It is much appreciated, so others know what to expect.

Thanks once again and look forward to seeing you this week.

Kind regards,
Adam

From Ashley (5/5): Adam has introduced Natalie and I into Spanish really well. We have been doing it around 6 months now and are already able to recognise plenty of words and phrases and are beginning to structure sentences.

Thanks Adam!

Thanks for your feedback and look forward to seeing you next week.

From Stephen (5/5): Patience is always a good attribute and Adam has that in spades

Reply from: Adam: Thanks for your feedback and look forward to seeing you again later this week

From Jean (5/5): I am not happy with this form of review. I would let you know if I had a problem and it is very early days. Adam has gone out of his way to meet my requirements and so far we are ideally suited.

From Paul (5/5): Excellent tutor committed long terms to my needs very professional and look forward to learning with Adam for a long time. Highly reccomended.

Reply from: Adam: Thanks a million for your feedback. I enjoy tutoring and naturally look forward to continuing to tutor you in the future as well.

From George (5/5): I have been studying Spanish with Adam in preparation for my trip to Spain and would highly recommend him. Having started with practically no understanding of Spanish, Adam has helped me gain both confidence and knowledge in key areas of the language and has done so in a thoroughly helpful and supportive manner. His lesson preparations are structured entirely to cater for my personal ability and he is always flexible concerning the lesson content. Furthermore, Adam’s patience combined with the friendly and relaxed atmosphere he creates in lessons, has ensured that I am making excellent progress!

From Deonne (5/5): Adam has a lovely attitude towards teaching a novice , mature student like myself!!. He has allowed me to work at my own pace, sharing his wealth of experience and knowledge which in effect has helped me to develop a good learning outcome. Adam has a great personality and a good approach to teaching, i would not hesitate to recommend him.

Reply from: Adam: Thanks for your feedback and look forward to seeing you again soon.

From Bahar (5/5):

From Rainer (5/5): Now we have had some lessons. It was very helpful.
Adam was always friendly and well prepared.
We will go forward with this Tutor in June.

From Barbara (4/5): I find the lessons very good. Each lesson has a topic and is not to much at once. Homework is ok but I find it hard for it to sink in, but practice makes perfect. I feel at ease with the lesson and look forward to learning more.

From Richard (5/5): For various reasons, I only had the opportunity for one lesson with Adam. I very much appreciated his informal but focussed teaching method and his teaching area was well set out with a whiteboard for questions and explanations. I would certainly return to Adam for further lessons if the opportunity arose.

From Peter (5/5): Adam has a good manner and is very knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain things and he does this very well. He provides very good course notes and structures the tuition to ensure that learning a new language is not quite so daunting as we had envisaged. His sessions are both relaxed and enjoyable and we are pleased with the progress we are making.

From Malak (5/5): Adam is an Excellent tutor, patient and kind. He helped me a lot with my studies providing me with material in order to create an easy format for my lessons. He is helping me to build my knowledge towards the final assessment.My academic progression is much better now . It’s definitely great experience. I will always be grateful for his help.

Reply from: Adam: Thanks for your feedback. I am glad that I can help you.
