Biography

I am 34 years old and I live in London. I am fluent in French and Spanish having lived overseas for many years. I was educated at Harrow School and then went to Trinity College to do a BA in Modern Languages. I have been tutoring for 4 years in London after many years overseas. I am also a documentary film maker and have recently had my documentaries commissioned by Sky as part of a series on volunteering and charity work.

Personal Approach

I am relaxed and prefer to get to know my students prior to putting a game plan into action. I find out their weaknesses and work through them. I can work through mock papers, on basic grammar or improve oral, I am happy to work with the parents as well as my students.

What I do when I am not tutoring

I am documentary film maker. I volunteer in Africa. I kite surf.

'Hugo has been working with our daughter Olivia in preparation for her GCSE's and has produced some fantastic results'

‘I have employed Hugo Chittenden for the past several months to tutor my son in French. He is an excellent teacher, patient and kind and understands how Alex's dyslexia makes learning another language vastly more difficult. He is also reliable and flexible with timing of lessons.’

‘Hugo is a very patient, well presented and conscientious teacher with both children and adults, and it is a pleasure to be taught him.’

‘Since you have been coaching Max for his Common Entrance French we, and in particular his French teacher, have noticed a huge improvement in his vocab and conversational French and his written work is much more solid after your concerted efforts with past papers. He feels more confident and that is the most important aspect of your tuition.’

‘Hugo has been my daughter’s Spanish tutor since September 2009. He is committed to education, very enthusiastic, creative and patient. Hugo has managed to build a strong understanding of the language over just a few months. He also provides further effort in providing extra reading and learning materials for extra home study.’

‘Hugo teaches my son for Common Entrance exams and has raised him from a 31% grade student to a 59% grade student in 3 months.’

‘As Maddy’s French tutor, we found Hugo Chittenden conscientious, reliable, charming, and interesting; and particularly helpful with conversational French.’
