About Me
I can help you build your confidence in Spanish or French with my clear explanations of structure and grammar issues that often hinder progression to fluency.
Whatever your objectives, improve your comprehension and pronounciation in French or Spanish in lessons that are relaxed and fun and tailored to your individual needs.
I'm an experienced conference interpreter (French, Spanish) with five years' experience of delivering postgraduate interpreter training at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh.
As well as teaching on the postgraduate course, I have also taught Spanish at undergraduate level and helped high-school pupils studying French and Spanish at IB, Scottish Higher and A-level for university entrance.
Many young people embarking on a gap year have come to me before travelling to South America, taking up an au-pair job in Paris, or doing a ski season in the Alps as part of a gap year.
And as a native English speaker who has worked with many Spanish and French students on the postgraduate course, I helped improve their fluency in English.
France, Switzerland, and Spain all feel like home to me, and I’m a keen skier and tennis player.

Experience / Qualifications
I have 5 years' experience of teaching conference interpreting skills (French and Spanish > English) to postgraduates at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. Each semester for the first three years of these classes, I received expert teacher training from professionals who visited campus from SCIC (The Conference Interpreting Service at the EU Commission).
I also benefitted from in-house teacher training provided by Heriot Watt University in the delivery of online classes on teaching platform, Blackboard, and interpreting video teaching platform, GoReact, in the summer of 2020. Prior to the start of my initial contract in 2013, I completed teacher training modules for contractors provided in-house by the university.
Between 2013 and 2015, I taught Spanish > English translation on the same postgraduate MSc course at Heriot Watt University, drawing directly on my experience as a working translator.
I also taught Spanish to year 1 and 2 undergraduates in accordance with the curriculum of the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies at Heriot Watt University.
I have taught both Spanish and French to high school pupils locally at Scottish Higher, IB, and ‘A’ levels. The format of the class is usually one of extra support within the relevant curriculum and tailored to the individual pupil's needs.
On several occasions I have provided informal conversation classes to young people leaving to travel or work as part of a gap year. Content is both tailored to the individual and based on my similar experiences.
