Amy

I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2023 with a BA in French & Linguistics (2:1). I am currently working for a youth environmental charity.

Tutoring Experience

I spent my year abroad working as a teacher of English as a Second Language to French primary school students, during which time I was also an MFL Mentor with MFL Mentoring (a Welsh Government initiative). I have experience tutoring GCSE students in French, 11+ students, and English speakers learning French as adults. I have also worked as a volunteer tutor for children learning English as a Second Language with the charity Jacari, as well as at a children's camp in Belarus.

Tutoring Approach

I was sitting GCSEs and A Levels not too long ago, so I remember how it feels to want to do well and be frustrated by not seeing marks added after hard work has been put in. For these exams, it is important to learn the content, but it is also crucially important to understand how the mark scheme is applied by the examiners. This is how to make sure you're getting the best results possible. I loved studying French, English Language and English Literature from GCSE to A Level and believe that there is real interest to be found in these subjects when they are approached the right way, even if they are not current favourites.
