I specialise in tutoring French and Italian for GCSE and A Level students. I got A*s in both for GCSE and A Level and have good methods to teach students to achieve the same. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed, and i believe that anyone is capable of an A* with languages. I assign homework every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

I build a rapport quickly with students and help them every step of the way, from basic skills to advanced exam preparation. Last year, I took on an english literature student who got 2 Bs for english in his mock examinations, and with my help he got 2 A*s in the real thing. I have a reference from this person's parent if needed. I assign homework every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

HI......I'm Laura, I come from South Africa and cannot wait to teach your kids or help them out It is essential to learn and grasp the English language today in this ever changing world, whether it be through technology, face to face, most businesses use English as a neutral language to communicate. It doesn't just happen, I feel that we have to start at the bottom, that being with children. Children are the key part to our future, they need to be taught from foundation to speak English, to understand the future as well as create the future through a universal and common language.

In my class, I will teach the importance of English, how to use grammar properly and new vocabulary. Along with this, especially in this age of technology, kids need to be stimulated at all times, I offer ways and techniques, especially to children with special needs to cope, whether it be for exams or in school or even bring it into every day life, using things like grammar, vocabulary and speech, even listening skills. However in 2016 I decided to study for an English qualification CELTA, I was teaching adults at the time, but flew off to Japan in 2017, it was there I was introduced to children. It was a challenge, as the kids couldn't speak English, they were new to me, however I found my passion. People always told me that I'd be a good teacher, but I wasn't to sure about that path to take. I loved helping children right through 18 with extra lessons, helping them with their homework. When I came back to South Africa, I was given a little Chinese boy to teach English to, wow what an experience, it was just unfortunate that he had to go back to China. From there I put myself out there, created my own business, teaching foreigners. A school asked me to come teach a Chinese girl who was battling. From there, the school sent all the foreign students, but taught local children too, who were battling. I always worked with school teachers at the school on what was needed to be taught. In 2023 the school asked me to teach this little Chinese boy, which today we still have a strong bond and is ahead of his class. In 2020 with covid, all lessons were done online, this was the biggest challenge I had to face with my student. I sat in all his class subjects, learned their syllabus, which was an advantage for the future kids I taught, and teaching him to speak English at the same time. I now am settling in the UK as being an EFL/English teacher in South Africa, there's not much for me there. But before I decided to come here, I taught a little boy with special needs for about a year. He was 9 and far behind his class and was ADHD. Once again, it was a challenge for me, but as time went by I learned how to deal with him too. I had a big garden, if I could see him losing concentration, I'd let him play around for a while with my dogs and cat, then got him back. For me that was so rewarding when the teachers gave his mother feedback on how well he was doing. Sadly finances was becoming an issue, there was more to offer me here in the UK. My first month here I worked for an international language school as my qualification is Cambridge related and taught kids from all over the world. But it wasn't a case of teaching them, we also looked after their well being and took part in all activities. I would finally just like to add that I have an advanced certificate in safe guarding children. Whether it be homework, tutor your child one on one or help even with confidence, I know I'm good at what I do and look forward to teaching your child.
