Personal Description:

I am a mature teacher ( early 50's) and live in the Seven Dials area in the heart of Brighton. My particular skill is to motivate students and make them believe in themselves and their ability as then half the battle is won.

Tutoring Experience:

am a qualified teacher of French, German and EFL with many years of experience. Most recently I have been head of MFL, teaching AS and A2 at Central Sussex College in Haywards Heath and I also teach evening language courses at BHASVIC. I have an excellent success record regarding examination results and many of my students have gone on to study languages at prestigious universities. I have particular knowledge and resources for the Edexcel specifications but also have experience teaching the other examination boards to private students. I have a huge range of resources, textbooks, past papers and grammar exercises for every level from key stage 3 onwards.
Every student has their own learning style and I am able to adapt to your individual needs and tailor a course that works best for you.
My fee is £30 per hour.
I live in the Seven Dials area within five minutes walk from BHASVIC.

Tutoring Approach:

Every student has their own learning style and I am able to adapt to your individual needs and tailor a course that works best for you. I am also happy to teach small groups of students of a similar ability at a discounted rate. My tuition will include marking and handouts.

From Julia (5/5): (A-Level French) Alison was a great help to my son when revising for his A level French. She was methodical in her approach and liaised with his college to ensure that her revision sessions with him were tailored to his needs. He acheived a higher grade than predicted.

Reply from Alison: Thank you very much Julia. It was a delight to teach Ollie. i learnt all about French football teams and I am thrilled that he got full marks in his spoken examination.

From Geoff (5/5): (A-Level German) Very friendly and reliable teacher and my daughter very pleased with lessons

Reply from Alison: It was a delight to tutor Stephanie and I would be happy to do so again should she require this.

From Aaron (5/5): (A-Level French) Alison is a very patient and supportive tutor, who has a very strong knowledge of exam boards and exam papers. Prior to starting tuition with her, I was predicted a C/D in my french and in less than 2-3 months, Alison helped me to attain an A at AS level. I feel like Alison really improved my French and helped my confidence levels (especially when speaking french) to greatly increase.
Great tutor!

Reply from Alison: Thank you Aaron. It was a pleasure to teach you and I wish you all the best in your studies. When you are considering university, you should think about doing French as an additional option. Many universities offer language courses as extra modules.

From Helen (5/5): (Primary German) She has built a good rapport with Ted and he has improved steadily at the subject. She tells me how he is doing and any points for concern.

Reply from Alison: Thank you Helen. It is a pleasure to teach Ted who is retaining new vocabulary and grammar well.

From Sarah (5/5): (GCSE French) Alison was an excellent tutor for my daughter, she tutored her in year 11 for GCSE French. My daughter was at grade C/D at the end of year 10 as she had missed some time in school that year. Within a month of starting with Alison her confidence, understanding and accent had improved significantly. Alison tailored her tuition to fit in with my daughters course at school. She was excellent at communicating the subject and my daughter was comfortable with her. She just got an A at GCSE and I highly recommend Alison as a tutor.

Reply from Alison: Thank you Sarah. It was a pleasure to teach your daughter and I wish her all the best for her A level studies.
