Well hello! It’s been a while since I have posted anything. Apologies! It’s been a busy couple of years planning, delivering and supporting my tutees with the new MFL GCSE specs.

Although there seems to be lots of national negative feedback re results last week my students did themselves proud 👏 all achieving higher grades than predicted 🎉

However the grade boundaries for languages are still much higher than for most other subjects which is very unfair. We need students to go on to study at A level but these high grade boundaries will not make this easier for students.

To be honest I like the new specs, the introduction of dictation is a fun activity (although much harder for the French students than the Spanish).

So onwards and upwards for a new academic year 💪💪

Please get in touch if you think your child would benefit from 1-1 tuition in person or online.

I will be continuing to see all my KS3 and 4 students online which also means I am not restricted to local families 🥳

If you know of friends around the country (or the world 🤪) who need my help then please get in touch.

Proud, Excited, Emotional, Sad, Lucky

My husband asked me to describe my feelings on results day and these came to mind. 👏 🥳 🥰 😢🍀

Proud - ALL my students did themselves proud after a tough and demanding 18 months

Excited - excited to receive the texts with news but also feeling anxious at the same time!

Emotional - the relief felt when a student succeeds is immense. Exam pressure is real and even the strongest students can have off days.

Sad - knowing that all those hours spent in a 1-1 setting are over. I have the privilege of getting to know lots of wonderful young people and when this time comes to an end it can be sad ( for me anyway 😂)

Lucky - this is the overiding feeling. I started my business by chance many years ago and each year it has grown. I feel so lucky to do something I truly love. I still have that scary feeling at the start of each new academic year that the phone won’t ring but thankfully it does!

James, Jay, Dani, Amelie, Charlotte, Poppy, Maddie, Julia and Eme you are all fantastic linguists and deserve your results. Stay in touch 😘

Enjoy the feedback sent to me last week on results day 🤩

As another Chatterboxes year comes to an end 🎉 I am reflecting back on how amazing all my students have been. What a crazy year particularly for my wonderful year 11s.

You stayed patient, calm and determined and I am so proud to have been there with you offering virtual cups of tea and positive vibes 🤣

Jay, Amelie, Dani, Charlotte, Maddie, Poppy, Eme and Julia I wish you so many good wishes for your future and I’ll miss our weekly chats (and lots of language learning too!!) ❤️

If you are interested in language tutoring for your child please do get in touch. French and Spanish options available covering all exam boards.

Have a great summer everyone ☀️

A problem shared is a problem halved. Loving being able to share screens via Zoom. 🖥🖥🙋‍♀️

Another busy week for Chatterboxes 😀 I’ve spent time with lots of Secondary school students helping them get through their mountain of work!

This morning I saw my fantastic KS1 Spanish groups, we all made an arco iris 🌈 to put in our windows. I also made an arc en ciel 🌈 with my French buddies.

The best thing by far has been being able to share screens using Zoom. I’ve been able to view my students completing their work on their desktop and also shared YouTube language songs with my youngsters.

If you know someone who would like to join in with our fun please get in touch 🇪🇸🇫🇷
