I'm setting up a little mini-business to run alongside my charity consultancy work 😍

It's teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages :)

The website isn't finished yet (need to get someone to take photos of my ESOL sessions in action!) but it's a start! My project for August is to get this little baby finished:

Hi I now have some (limited) capacity for language work again as I've sold my fundraising business and am now a freelancer. I've obviously missed the boat massively for GCSE and A-level tuition for this year 😂But have some availability for holiday French or German (1:1 or group sessions), primary and secondary languages (French and German) and beginner Spanish. Get in touch via my work email [email protected] or by phone if you are interested. Thanks

I'm too busy with charity consultancy work to be doing any language work for the forseeable but am hoping to take it up again at some point. So I'll leave this FB page open for the time being! Merci, danke, Gracias etc! x

GCSE / A-level tuition: I am fully booked this academic year but hope to have some capacity in 2019/20. No capacity for any additional primary work this year either :(

GCSE French, German or Spanish coming up? My top four tips for GCSE students:

1. Little and often. Learning a few words or phrases a day is FAR better than a night before cram.

2. You Tube (yes you heard me right). Watch a clip in the target language. You could watch someone baking a dessert in French, watch a German kid playing a crazy prank on his little sister, or listen to a Spanish song. Pick out keywords, play it over and over again and get your ear used to hearing the language. Trying to listen without looking at the screen is also a great way of honing your active listening skills.

3. Read, read, read. Print something off the internet and read it. Like with the listening, get used to reading in the target language. Find something relating to a GCSE topic if you can e.g. an article about the Tour de France to tie in with sport and leisure. Even reading a couple of paragraphs a week will make ALL the difference.

4. Go back and revisit your vocab list a few days later to ensure that it's gone into your long term memory.

GCSE entries to modern foreign languages continued to fall this year, in a dropoff that could even see some subjects becoming "extinct" in schools, according to one expert.
