I have been teaching French and German for the past 30 years. I have taught all levels from young children to adults.
I am aware of the requirements of the main exam boards and have full access to all relevant materials and resources required for the successful delivery of French and German GCSE/Scottish Highers and A level/Higher IB.
Please note that I charge a slightly higher rate for Sunday tuition - £45 for GCSE and £50 for A level.

Tutoring Experience

30 years French and German to A level.
I've also taught higher IB French and German.
I have taught English as a foreign language to children aged 10-18 and to adults.
I have been giving private tuition in French and German for many years now and have had consistently positive reviews from the families. I can provide verifiable reviews/references on request. I have recently been teaching Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE French and German.
More recently, I have been delivering Cambridge IGCSE ESL. I have also been preparing overseas students for the IELTS test. My current clients include mature adults as well as primary children. However, my main expertise lies in MFL GCSE and A level.
I have been conducting French and German speaking exams for a private exam centre in London. This includes AQA, Edexcel, IGCSE (Edexcel and Cambridge).
For the last two years, I have been marking French and German GCSEs (speaking and writing) for both AQA and Edexcel.
