Zoe

I feel passionately about languages, and how important they are to our children and young people’s futures – setting them apart from the crowd and offering so many opportunities both at university and in the job market.
I have taught French and Spanish for 12 years, currently Head of Department, as well as an examiner for two of the main exam boards.
I gain great personal satisfaction from helping children and young people, and seeing the ‘light-bulb moment’ happen. Languages are a subject that many pupils find difficult, and I really enjoy working through the barriers with them.
I am at ease with both face-to-face and Zoom teaching.

Tutoring Experience

I've got over 12 years experience teaching Spanish to GCSE and French to A-level; I've also got experience teaching primary French from KS1.

Tutoring Approach

I take great care to make lessons interesting, enjoyable and engaging – but also teaching the building blocks of grammar in a fun way!
Languages are a subject that many pupils find difficult, and I really enjoy working through the barriers with them.
Working through COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of the personal touch, and I feel my students have benefited enormously from more individual attention that is difficult to attain in a classroom situation.
I want every student to reach their full potential whilst having fun at the same time!
