Tuition with Talia 🇪🇦🇫🇷 Spanish & French Tutor
🎓 KS3 | GCSE | A-level | Adults
📍 Online & In-person

I am originally from rural south Wales but have since relocated to Shropshire. My passion for languages started when I was in Year 9 as my Spanish teacher opened my eyes to the wider world and gave me the opportunity to learn about other cultures. Since qualifying, I have worked in secondary schools in Wales, Shropshire and South West London. I have extensive experience teaching French and Spanish at KS3, KS4 and KS5 with all major exam boards such as AQA, WJEC and Edexcel. During the pandemic, I tutored GCSE students 1:1 and small groups online who were aiming to take French A-Level. This is where I first gained experience tutoring online on various platforms such as Teams and Zoom. I am currently tutoring adults with no prior knowledge of French or Spanish, GCSE students and primary children therefore I am confident working with all age groups and abilities.
