My lessons cater to all levels—from beginner to advanced—for adults, children, students, and professionals alike.

What Does a Typical Lesson Look Like?
A lesson usually begins with a brief review of previously covered topics, followed by a new lesson or practice in a specific area. I also provide concrete tools (e.g., practical guides, exercises, role-play scenarios) to help students practice independently and make steady progress between sessions.
What Makes Me Different as a Teacher?
Passionate and dedicated, I adapt to each student's personal goals and prioritize consistent, motivating progress. My aim is to impart not only technical skills but also confidence, enabling students to use French fluently in both everyday and professional settings.

English Classes for Primary School to GCSE Level StudentsI am a tutor with 7+ years of experience teaching at a variety of levels from primary school to GCSE level. I teach English Language, English Literature, ESOL (English for speakers of other languages), Maths, and Creative Writing. I have taught students both in person and remotely, planning lessons using virtual presentations, activities and resources both in the UK and abroad.
I believe the most successful results come from fostering a friendship with my students, and providing constant encouragement and support in their areas of interest. I pride myself on being an attentive listener and carefully adapt to the specific needs of my students, which is particularly helpful for my SEN and ESOL pupils. I have previously volunteered as a mentor with charities such as Al Muntaha Tutoring and Debate Mate, providing mentorship, relevant advice, and support to young people. At the beginning of every lesson I also do short icebreaker activities and challenges with my students, using a points reward system to keep them engaged. Previous students have gone on to become the top of their class and receive recognition at school for both English and Maths.
Lessons start at 1 hour in length, with longer lessons available if required. Lessons are structured according to the needs of the student; this can be working alongside their class syllabus to support them with progress at school, tackling an area or subject they are specifically struggling with, or helping them prepare for national exams such as GCSEs.
I provide feedback after every lesson and detailed progress reports every six months for each student.
I primarily offer online lessons as I have found this works well for me and my students, but in some cases I do teach face-to-face depending on location and availability within London.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have - I look forward to speaking with you soon!

-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).
