Ryan

I have a passion for languages and work hard for my students to achieve the best possible results. I enjoy learning and communicating in foreign languages as well as understanding other cultures. I have lived and taught in a variety of countries making me adaptable, resilient, creative and resourceful. This enables me to pass on important life skills to my students in addition to coaching them through the demands of a GCSE in their chosen subject.

Tutoring Experience

I am a fully-qualified teacher who has spent the last 20 years in education; including time as a full-time teacher, head of department, tutor and moderator. I taught English as a foreign language for 3 years in Quebec, Spain and the Czech Republic. I have tutored students in French, Spanish, English and KS2 literacy for the last 10-15 years. I earned my Secondary PGCE in 2009 and taught in two outstanding schools (Ofsted rated) until leaving to teach on a supply basis.

Tutoring Approach

I offer tuition to GCSE in English Language, English Literature, French and Spanish. I tutor online through Skype, Zoom or Google Meets. My first aim is to ensure my students enjoy their learning as this is one of the most important factors in achieving academic success alongside effort. My students describe me as a diligent, creative, motivational and enthusiastic tutor.
