Tutoring Experience

40 years teaching languages in local grammar schools, also teacher training and managing staff.

Tutoring Approach

My tuition has been on Zoom since the Covid 19 pandemic. This suits me and my students well although I will consider in-person where internet access is a problem.
I offer a structured grammatical approach, which includes humour, use of real-life situations, multi-sensory methods and an emphasis on giving the tutee the confidence to speak the language with a convincing accent.
