I have studied Chinese to degree level and spent over 5 years in China. I have a very good command of the language and knowledge of culture. I also lived and worked in Madrid for over 5 years. I self-studied Spanish but also had online lessons and passed DELE B2, equivalent to A level. I am a good teacher who motivates students and helps them achieve their potential, whilst enjoying lessons.
I have taught for over a decade. I have taught Mandarin in secondary schools for over 4 years, with GCSE and A level teaching experience. I have also taught KS3 Spanish for 4 years.
My approach is to help build confidence in my students, essential for languages. Practising speaking is very important and communicative activities are used. For those students preparing for GCSE or A level I will teach them so they understand the format of the exam and help them develop good exam skills.
