Stephen

I am married with three children (all graduate linguists) and now bilingual grandchildren. I am past Chairman of the Bury St Edmunds/Compiègne town twinning association and in 2016 was awarded the Lidice Memorial Medal for work in the Czech Republic.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught languages in nursery school, at primary level, in secondary schools and to adults in industry. Formerly Head of Modern Languages and latterly Head of Sixth Form at Thetford Grammar School, I am available for daytime and evening lessons, Monday to Friday. My pupils enjoy their lessons as much as I enjoy their success .
With 30+ years' experience, I am adept in preparing candidates for their examinations and have an excellent record of success with my 1:1 tutees.
If you are reading this profile, then I do still have availability,

Tutoring Approach

I'm a very experienced tutor and will quickly identify the best approach with individual learners. I then design lessons and adapt my teaching style to match needs and particular areas of interest. Exam candidates all improve and go on to achieve excellent results.

I am also interested in corporate challenges, for example preparing personnel and their children linguistically for relocation.

There is a generous discount for members of UK Armed Forces.
