Jane

Private English and French Tutor in Holland Park

I teach French, Spanish English, Drama and Theatre Studies at GCSE and 'A' Level.

I can help with your understanding and performance of Shakespeare for English exams.

I trained at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and studied at Alliance Franҫaise in Marseille, France and University of Salamanca, Spain (duplicate diploma certificate in process). I also hold professional linguistic qualifications with the United Nations in French and Spanish as I was a UN conference interpreter and translator.

I have lived and worked in Spain, France and Switzerland.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching for over 30 years and that has taken in a wide variety of pupils and institutions, from children to adult. I have taught in two London private day schools.

My pupils have been able to achieve consistent high results in their GCSE and 'A' Level exams. I often collaborate with the teachers at a pupil's main school to achieve a smooth transfer of study and results.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are pupil-centered. I am listening out for cues from the pupil, whether child or adult, in order to meet their training and tuition needs. I am always looking for opportunities to improve a pupil's confidence on their learning journey.
