    About Me

    Monica specializes in providing bespoke private tuition of the highest standard and has an impressive track record in preparing students for entry to Britain’s top schools.

    Tailoring one-to-one sessions from 7+ to A Level to suit individual needs and learning styles, Monica adopts a highly personalised approach. Adept at quickly establishing a student’s strengths, weaknesses and aspirations, Monica endows her pupils with the confidence, knowledge and skills they require to achieve outstanding academic success.

    Whether it is to prepare for a specific examination or to progress in general learning, being tutored by Monica is a rewarding, enriching experience, the benefits of which will last for years to come.

    Education

    Monica was educated at Wimbledon High School. between the ages of 8 and 18. She then went on to obtain her first degree, BA Hons 2(i), in English Literature, after which she did a post-graduate in Law.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Monica was privately educated at Wimbledon High School GPDST before gaining a 2 (i) Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature at the University of Hull, followed by a post-graduate degree in Law from the College of Law. This has given her a background in academic rigour and discipline that she is able to pass on to her students.

    After qualifying as a solicitor, Monica practised international shipping law for seven years which involved considerable global travel. She has also worked as a banker and international PA, and in the theatre as an actress and director, which has provided her with a number of different skills and experiences that she can draw on when tutoring children.

    Brought up in Paris and London, Monica is fluent in French and English. Her father was a linguist and her mother a broadcaster, actress and artist. This gives her an interesting, international background which is of invaluable importance in enabling her to develop well-rounded, cultured, impeccably educated children.

    Monica has several years’ experience in providing bespoke private tuition in diverse subjects to pupils of all ages. Most notably, she has successfully prepared children of different nationalities for entrance to Britain’s premier schools, from Winchester, Eton and Harrow, to City of London, Westminster and St. Paul’s.

    Monica has provided tuition in many parts of the globe including Russia, Europe, China, Hong Kong and the United States. She has tutored international students in a variety of residential contexts, as well as children of VIP parents. Monica has travelled with some of these families as a private tutor and although her main focus has usually been the children’s studies, Monica has accompanied her charges on organised activities, taking them on cultural tours, museum, theatrical and musical visits.

    In a home environment, Monica provides lessons in English, History, Maths, Art, History of Art, French, Drama, Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning. She offers advice on homework assignments; prepares children for specific tests and examinations; and assists with interview techniques for Britain’s major schools. Having worked in the theatre, she can help with elocution, enabling students to attain immaculate ‘received pronunciation’.

    Monica has specialist experience of working with children of different backgrounds and cultures and has worked with students suffering from dyslexia, autism and multiple sclerosis.

    With the parents’ cooperation, Monica is practised in establishing firm boundaries for children. Able to appreciate the importance of giving encouragement and praise when deserved, she is patient and approachable, and offers unstinting support. This enables her to develop strong bonds with her students.

    Relaxed Chats in English with Ryan the Australian/South African - Improve Your Confidence in English
    The purpose of our chats/classes is to increase your comfort and confidence with speaking English. Learning any language takes dedication and persistence, but I will help make it easier for you. The more you hear English spoken, and the more you try to speak it, the faster you will recognise the sounds, and the more confidence you will gain. It starts with feeling totally comfortable to try, and to make mistakes. And that's where I can help. ABOUT ME My family tree has its roots in England. I grew up in Mandela's beautiful South Africa. I later spent 9 years "Down Under" in Dronning Mary's magnificent Australia. Then marriage brought me to the lovely Kingdom of Denmark :-) I'm not a trained English teacher, however: - I scored 8.5 (Expert) on the IELTS test - I love to teach and explain - I'm super-patient and caring - My accent is easy to understand Let's have some relaxed and interesting chats to improve your English fluency and pronunciation :-) I'll be happy to share stories from living all around the world, and hearing about your life. LGBT friendly. MY APPROACH I know what it's like to learn a new language and I know just how scary it can be to open your mouth to try and speak it. I will provide a safe space, free of criticism or embarrassment, to help you overcome your fears of learning this VITAL world language. The English language can really be your passport to the world :-) The time it takes to learn English is different for different people, but the statistics show that the more you hear the language and the sooner you start speaking it - even if it's slow and difficult at first - the faster you will learn. My job is not to explain complex rules and grammar to you. You can learn those online or in a school. I'm here to get you speaking and listening, so that you train your ears and your mouth in English. And over time, bit by bit, I will also help you to speak more accurately. Luckily for you, because English is spoken so widely, native English speakers are quite used to hearing English spoken incorrectly. So there's really no need to stress too much about your little errors in grammar or pronunciation. Let's just get you speaking! :-)
