Valerie Hurst
French Tutor
Française originaire de Dijon, je suis professeure qualifiée en français et en anglais et j'enseigne depuis plus de 10 ans.
Je dispose d’une palette pédagogique complète pour créer une atmosphère où votre apprentissage sera éducatif et ludique à la fois, que vous ayez un niveau débutant ou plus avancé.
Titulaire depuis 2012 d’un PGCE en enseignement des langues modernes à l’Université de Saint Mary’s College Twickenham (équivalence du CAPES), j’ai eu l’opportunité de travailler dans des écoles parmi les plus prestigieuses du Royaume-Uni telles que Tiffin Girls, Surbiton High School et Saint Mary’s Ascot où j’ai développé une pédagogie exemplaire et efficace. Je donne également des cours particuliers depuis 2013 à des personnes de tous âges, des jeunes enfants aux adultes.
En seulement quelques leçons, les étudiants ont plus de facilités à utiliser des points de grammaire complexes et un vocabulaire beaucoup plus varié en lien avec les critères d’examen (new GCSE, A Level, KS3, Baccalauréat …). Cela s’applique à la fois pour les tâches orales et écrites. En outre, les adultes ont aussi la possibilité d’étoffer leur lexique avec une aisance plus naturelle qui leur permet de voyager et échanger en toute confiance dans une langue étrangère.
Mes leçons de qualité, mon programme structuré et mes activités ludiques soigneusement et méticuleusement préparés vous permettront de progresser et d’atteindre le niveau de langue souhaité.
Si vous recherchez un professeur d'anglais expérimenté pour des cours, préparer des examens ou tout simplement pour pratiquer votre oral, contactez-moi ou réservez une leçon d'essai en ligne

Dorado Leon
Spanish Tutor
Approach
I am a Spanish native speaker who has lived in London for almost two decades. I have spent the last eight years of my career as a Spanish Assistant /Tutor working with y10s, y11s and sixth formers in preparation for their GCSE’s and A Levels. I have a very good understanding of the exam’s specifications, content and structure for each of the skills assessed (speaking, listening, writing and comprehension). Although not everybody has a flair for languages, I believe that with a bit of determination and guidance, every pupil can achieve their goal.
Hobbies
I am an enthusiastic reader of Historical fiction and I enjoy the numerous art exhibitions and theatre productions on offer. Activities which sometimes, I share with my daughters. As a good Spaniard, I enjoy my food, whether it's cooking or eating out with friends and I am always keen to discover the flavours of new cuisines.
¡Hasta la vista!

Ober
French & Spanish Tutor
I am delighted to introduce myself as a native language teacher with over 15 years of experience in independent and international schools. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching students from diverse backgrounds and cultures. My passion for foreign languages stems from my bilingual and multicultural family background, where French and Spanish seamlessly intersect.
Throughout my career, I have honed my expertise in developing my students; language proficiency by focusing on the four essential skills: writing, speaking, reading, and listening. I firmly believe that a comprehensive language education encompasses all these aspects, along with a solid foundation in grammar.
To make the learning experience engaging and effective, I create personalised lessons tailored to each student's needs and interests. I incorporate a wide range of learning materials, including videos, songs, literary extracts, and newspaper articles. By exposing my students to various forms of media, I aim to enhance their language skills while also fostering an appreciation for different cultures.
Additionally, I understand the importance of supporting my student's academic journey, particularly when it comes to exam preparation. I provide guidance and assistance in revising for exams, ensuring that my students feel confident and well-prepared. My extensive experience, multicultural background, and passion for languages make me a dedicated and effective language teacher. I am excited to continue sharing my knowledge and helping students achieve their language learning goals.

Teaching French, Spanish, and English has been my passion for over two decades. With a background in leading Modern Languages Departments at prestigious schools like St Catherine’s Bramley, St George’s Weybridge, and Burntwood School London, I now work part-time at Holme Grange School in Wokingham and provide online tutoring for both children and adults.
Whether you're looking to learn, improve language skills, or seek support for studies, I offer assistance in various contexts such as conversation, business, socializing, or specific exam preparation. My expertise lies in teaching French and Spanish through Key Stages 3, 4, and 5 to Oxbridge level, covering AQA and Edexcel French and Spanish GCSE and A Level, with a special interest in teaching set texts and films.

My teaching approach focuses on engaging activities with a cultural context, fostering communication in real-life situations. I blend traditional and contemporary methodologies, utilizing various resources such as PowerPoints, worksheets, games, and digital apps to enhance listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills, whilst ensuring a firm grasp of grammatical structures.
Keen on staying updated with educational technology, I draw on my grown-up children's ideas for inspiration. My passion for Francophone and Hispanic countries, cultivated during my twenties living and working in France, Italy, and Spain, continues to drive me and I regularly advise on customized trips for students to Spain and France.

Corinne
Guion
Wellbeing & Resilience Coach
Experienced manager, coach, and mentor with a career spanning over 25 years, I now work with individuals as a Wellbeing and Resilience Coach. I work with adolescents (advanced DBS checked), young adults and individuals facing challenges in their professional, personal, or school life. Together, we explore simple techniques to help them be the best that they can be.
How do I work with a client?
Once we have discussed the challenges that the client is facing, we then explore simple physical and mental techniques such as breathing, gentle movements, guided meditation, and visualisations. My role as a Coach is to select the techniques that are better suited to the client and their presenting challenge, for a more impactful result.
The techniques are easy to learn and once the client has practiced them with me, they can use them in their own time, in any setting; empowering them to deal optimally with whatever challenge they are facing.
For example:
- Coping with stress
- Managing exam nerves
- Managing emotions, whether it is fear, anger or sadness
- Reducing the physical manifestations of stress/nerves (elevated heart rate, mind
going blank, dry mouth, sweating, shaking etc…)
- Getting in the ‘zone’ for optimal performance
- Enhancing concentration
Education
I trained in mindfulness, sophrology, non-violent communication, and coaching and I am an experienced mentor (I have volunteered as a Career Mentor at the University of Southampton for the last 7 years, focusing on helping students build their careers and supporting young women in particular). I am a member of the Complementary Medical Association and an Associate Member of the International Sophrology Federation.
