Personal Message
I am a freelance Translator/Linguist who is keen on sharing her knowledge of and passion for language with others.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
A-Level: English Language, English Literature, Spanish, Geography, French
Other qualifications: FCE, ESOL
Tell me about your qualifications.
I currently hold a BA in Hispanic Studies with Linguistics (Upper Second Class Honours) from Kings College London and am planning to embark on an MSc course in September 2012. My non-University qualifications include BSL Level 1 (now completing Level 2) and a TEFL Certification.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have experience in teaching ESOL to children aged 11-15 as well as adults. So far, I have taught students of all levels and various backgrounds.
How much do you charge?
The hourly rate varies according to the subject that you pick from my subject list. I offer free level testing (the first lesson) in order to decide with the student what kind of assistance the student needs. I charge five pounds extra if I'm travelling to the student's house (this does not apply to SW). In case you want a semi-private lesson (2-4 students) each student gets a five pound discount.
Where do you teach?
I can tutor both at home and students homes. I can also meet a student in a public library or even a quite cafe (for spoken practice only) if that's what the student finds comfortable and convenient. I live in south-west London.
When are you available?
I am available every work day from 9-5 daytime, Friday evenings and Saturday mornings.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I can teach anyone up to GCSE and A-level standard aged 11-18. I can also teach over 18s who want to learn a language for a purpose other than an academic qualification. Students with dyslexia, speech/hearing impediments as well as those needing tuition in a different language are more than welcome! (I can tutor in Croatian, French, Lip speak, Serbian or Spanish if necessary).
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
GCSE, A-Level, FCE, ESOL.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes. I am fully CRB checked with an Enhanced Disclosure form.
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
My availability is the same as for offline classes. I can use both Skype and e-mail depending on the kind of assistance the student requires.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?
Yes. I belong to iPSiT, LAGB and the American Linguist Society.
Do you have a personal message for students?
Feel free to contact me for any kind of language adventure you may want to go on!

Revise Wise!

Common reasons I have heard for dropping a language at GCSE level were: "it's not my cup of tea", "I don't get the teacher at all", "I can't remember all the definitions by reading", etc. All those reasons are understandable but when one digs deeper they are not directly related to the language in question. It is often a case of the teacher...
