Lynn

I am an organised, friendly and enthusiastic mum as well as a passionate linguist and modern languages graduate. I have always had a natural affinity with teaching and a knack for connecting with students of all ages. I have been a teaching assistant and I have also recently supported my own children through GCSEs and A levels which has given me first hand experience of what is required, how to keep students on track and get the best out of them especially if they are unsure about how to approach revision. As a mum, I am also well placed to lend an ear to parents and answer any queries they have.

Tutoring Experience

I have supported a range of learners in a variety of subjects, from primary, to secondary level, to adult learners wanting to brush up their beginners Spanish or understand grammar better. My experience as a TA in schools has also taught me patience and an understanding of what makes children tick. I have a good understanding of the AQA languages board.

Tutoring Approach

I believe the most effective lessons start with a good connection with the student and tapping into how they best learn. I use a range of methods: visual, auditory, games, grammar - so that it makes sense for them and they make progress. Most importantly, I offer good quality resources with clear explanations and patient practice.

Fortunately modern technology now allows language learners access to so many additional tools, such as podcasts, TV and apps. I can advise you how to use these alongside more traditional methods, to get the right balance and maximise your enjoyment and learning without becoming overwhelmed.

I am also highly flexible and happy to schedule short or longer sessions, whether it's once a week, once a month, or an intensive revision burst. I am available during the day, after school or evenings.
