Hi, I'm Eddie. I am offering one-on-one French and Spanish classes to GCSE, A-Level and adult students.

I have a passion for languages, above all French and Spanish, and enjoy helping learners to deepen their understanding and express themselves with confidence. I studied History and French at the University of Liverpool, where I also took Spanish classes, and I have spent time living in France and Mexico to reach an advanced level in both languages. I received training in the teaching of Spanish and other languages from the Instituto Cervantes, an agency of the Spanish government.

I have been teaching classes to adult, A-level and GCSE students (and equivalent level students in Ireland) for well over a year now, and prior to this I tutored in these subjects informally to peers and family for many years. As such, I am very familiar with the particular quirks and challenging aspects of these languages that tend to trip people up.

As a tutor I keep up to date with the GCSE and A-level French and Spanish curricula and requirements for foundation vs higher GCSE learners. For adult learners, depending on your level we can start with the basics or look at particular topics that interest you if you prefer. I offer structured lessons or more tailored conversation classes if you feel this would suit you. I aim to make all lessons as immersive, fun and communicative as possible so learners can practise their conversational Spanish/French. I know the importance of taking a flexible approach to each student; concepts in any language can be hard to understand at first, but with the right explanation there is always a way to make hard concepts more straightforward.

For school students: I offer support with schoolwork (including pronunciation, grammar, vocab and more), as well as exam prep, in a supportive and engaging environment. We can spend as much time as necessary on areas of difficulty until students are feeling confident in their understanding and well-prepared for their exams.

I have a clear basic DBS check.

Please note that my preference is for online classes. However, if this is not possible I am also able to give classes in person depending on distance.
