Personal Description:

I am an Oxford graduate with an MA in Modern Languages. I love to travel and have spent time in Belgium as an au pair, Germany looking after handicapped adults, living in France for a year as part of my degree and three years living and working in Spain.

After university I stayed on in Oxford tutoring for entrance exams, e.g. Harrow, and for French GCSE and 'A' level.

I then moved to London where I worked in the Market Research industry for 12 years.

I recently lived in Barcelona where I set up my own business as an Business English trainer working mainly for blue chip companies and government bodies. I have also taught exam preparation classes to teenagers and young adults preparing for university entry.

Teaching Experience:

English - in France at a lycee and also to adults at the Chamber of Commerce; in Barcelona to business directors and government officials; in London to high level directors in the city and premier league footballers and their families. All levels from complete beginners to proficiency. Both small groups and one-to-ones.

French - GCSE and 'A' level French. All exam students have to date received an A or A*. I also teach French to rugby professionals.

Spanish - I teach Spanish up to GCSE level and my exam students to date have received A*. I also teach Spanish to football professionals.

Teaching Approach:

I have a real passion for languages - having studied French, German, Latin and Spanish.

I really believe that languages should be fun to learn and that is the teacher's responsibility to engage the students and show them the benefits of learning a new language and show them that it can be a fun experience. One student who was part of a group I was tutoring at a pre GSCE Easter course told me that, 'before the classes with you, I used to hate French - now I love it!'

Specialist online lessons using video conferencing and document sharing. Am happy to run small online group lessons - maximum four students per group.

From Mhairi (5/5): Julie has recently started tutoring my daughter for GCSE French. Julie has a very positive, encouraging teaching style which suits my daughter perfectly and she is feeling more confident in her French already. I would definitely recommend Julie as a French tutor.

From Florence (5/5): I can’t recommend Julie enough. She has such a likeable persona and clearly enjoys teaching language.
My daughter has really taken to Julie & looks forward to her weekly Spanish lesson.

Reply from: Julie: Thank you for your lovely comments. It's a pleasure working with your daughter!

From Amandine (5/5): Julie is friendly and I Like how she shapes and adapts her teaching style around my own learning style and needs. I want to learn to speak Spanish but I have no knowledge of the language whatsoever. However, having had 3 lessons so far, I already feel I've made huge progress.

Reply from: Julie: Thanks for the comments - it's a pleasure working with you!

From Kate (5/5): We are delighted with Julie. E. loves her French lessons with Julie, and has become much more confident. There is plenty of laughter, and her school grades went from poor to very good very quickly.

Reply from: Julie: Thanks for the lovely feedback - it's been an absolute pleasure working with E! Good luck for tomorrow!

From Fiona (5/5): Julie comes across as very professional and experienced. She had no issues teaching at the level of my 16 year old nor of my 9 year old neighbour. The children were pleased with their first lesson and I am looking forward to seeing their weekly progress.

From Maxine (5/5): We are very pleased with the coaching so far and feel much more confident about the exams.

From Rafael (5/5): Julie has been an amazing help so far, and has taken time to understand what I lacked in and what I needed. She has prepared very useful and helpful material, and has understood what I specifically need for my exams. She always finds a way to deal with a certain issue, and is very easy to work with and contact for lesson arrangements.

From Gabriela (5/5):

From Roshan (5/5): Julie is realistic and flexible. My son likes having her as his french tutor.
