Daniel

I read French and Spanish at Cambridge and I graduated in 2018. I spent my year abroad in Paris and studied at the prestigious École Normale Supérieure. I completed an MSt in Modern Languages at Oxford in 2022. I really enjoy learning languages and I have recently been learning Italian.

Tutoring Experience

I have been working as a private tutor for about two years. I have taught over 100 hours and I have received excellent reviews. I have taught people of various ages and levels. I have helped a student improve from a 4 in GCSE Spanish to a 9 in about 9 months. I have helped prepare a successful applicant for an MML interview at Christ Church, Oxford and I helped a student get onto the MML course at Cambridge. I have taught students preparing for entrance exams at Eton, Winchester College and Harrow. I have taught a couple of Cambridge graduates, who required French for their jobs. I have mainly taught 1:1 lessons but because of my strong record in teaching 1:1 lessons, I was invited by a tutoring organisation to teach group courses. I therefore have experience teaching groups also.

Tutoring Approach

I adopt a meticulous approach to language study. I am very thorough and my teaching style is largely based on the excellent language tuition I received at Cambridge. I am also gentle, kind and patient. I understand that students need to feel comfortable in my lessons and for me, that is as important as the lesson content. I tailor my lessons to the individual and can vary my approach depending on what a particular student requires. I welcome constructive feedback and I am very happy to work with students to co-design a programme of study. I have excellent resources.
