Tutoring

Whether you're 7 or 107, language learning should feel meaningful and empowering.

I offer tailored, one-to-one and small group tutoring in English, French and Italian, supporting learners of all ages and backgrounds to grow their skills, voice and fluency. Whether you're preparing for an exam, settling in a new country, or learning just for joy, I meet you where you are and help you to move forward with clarity and care.

What I Offer

🗣️ English as a Second or Additional Language (ESOL/EAL)
For children, young people and adults—from early literacy to advanced communication. I support learners in speaking, listening, grammar and writing, always with cultural and practical relevance in mind.

💼 Business English
Build clarity and confidence in professional communication—whether you're writing emails, preparing presentations, or navigating meetings in English.

🇫🇷 French
Specialist tutoring for GCSE and A-level learners (Edexcel and AQA), as well as adult learners preparing for travel or personal interest. I usually focus on spoken fluency, grammar, exam technique and cultural depth but can tailor sessions to your specific needs.

🇮🇹 Italian (up to B2)
Support for beginners to intermediate learners looking to build conversation skills, travel with confidence or deepen their language knowledge in a relaxed, structured way.
