TUTORING & TEACHING EXPERIENCE:
A full-time tutor for five years, born and brought up in North London, I am a speaker of many languages, ten conversationally or better. I have used my unique expertise and knowledge of languages to help many students achieve the top grades, particularly at GCSE and A Level.

In addition, I have guided many students in applying for and achieving entrance to top schools at 11+ and 13+ level, specifically St. Paul’s Boys School, Eton, London Oratory, Cardinal Vaughan, St. Helen’s, South Hampstead, North London Collegiate, Habs’ Girls’; School, Henrietta Barnett, Dame Alice Owen, and The Latymer School.

I attended St. Paul’s School and then studied French and Italian at the University of Cambridge, spending a year abroad in Rome (where I chose to learn Russian through lessons taught entirely in Italian!).

I have an MA in Translation and Interpreting and have previously carried out translations, such as the skilful transcription of live interviews with different footballers from various languages into English during the UEFA Euro 2016.
