Experience
I've been tutoring for over a year, teaching French, English & German to students of all ages from primary to adult. I aim not only to improve students' grades, but also their confidence and enjoyment of a subject.
Recent highlights include: bringing a student's grade up from C - A (Common Entrance French), and helping another student achieve an A* in her French GCSE.
I spent three months in Padua teaching English to children of 6, 8 and 10 years old. I've also run drama workshops for children aged 2 and up, worked with pupils from Streatham and Clapham High on their Theatre Studies devised exam, and been a youth leader/mentor for young people aged 13-18.
I speak German to a high level and am fluent in French.

Biography
I grew up in Oxford and attended the Dragon and then King's School Canterbury, where I studied A-Levels in French, German and English. After a gap year, during which I taught English in Italy, I read French and German at Girton College, Cambridge. As part of my degree I spent a year in Paris, delivering the post in a law firm by day and going to drama school by night. I graduated in 2006 and spent the next two years training to be an actress at LAMDA.
Personal Approach
Having greatly benefited from personal tutoring when I was at school, I understand the difference a one-to-one session can make. I tailor my approach depending on the needs of the student, and we will work together to find the style of learning that best fits. Sessions are always relaxed but focused.
What I do when I am not tutoring
I write and perform cabaret/comedy and also work as an actress. Most recently I've been taking part in the Musical Comedy Awards and organising variety shows.
