My name is Emma, I have a First-Class MA in Interpreting and Translating from Heriot-Watt University, and I bring a passion for languages and extensive academic and practical expertise to my tutoring services. Fluent in Spanish, French, and English, I specialise in creating tailored lessons for learners of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to polish advanced skills, my engaging, personalised sessions are designed to build both proficiency and confidence. I take pride in encouraging and inspiring students, helping them feel self-assured and capable in their language-learning journey. With a keen eye for grammar and an approachable, judgment-free teaching style, I ensure that every student thrives in a supportive and motivating environment. In my spare time, I love to read and enjoy creative hobbies like crocheting.
I bring a strong foundation of skills and knowledge that enable me to be a dedicated language tutor. Throughout my studies, including a year abroad living in France and Spain, I have developed a deep understanding of language learning and communication. My academic success and experience in roles requiring strong interpersonal skills have equipped me to connect effectively with learners of all ages and abilities. As someone patient, approachable, and enthusiastic, I am committed to helping students thrive and reach their full potential in their language studies.
My approach to tutoring is centred on creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable learning and growing, and are not afraid to make mistakes! Learning is not a "one size fits all" process; each student has their own unique strengths, needs, and learning style. I believe in adapting my teaching methods to suit the individual, ensuring that every lesson is tailored to help them succeed in a way that works best for them. I focus not only on building language skills but also on boosting confidence, helping students feel capable and motivated in their learning journey. By breaking down complex, perhaps daunting topics into manageable steps and using creative, interactive methods, I aim to make language learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience for learners of all ages and abilities.
