AS-Level French tuition, German tuition, Spanish tuition
‘Phenomenal tutoring! I don’t think I could have been better prepared for my AS level French exams. Special thanks for the essay structure advice and all the extra help with those nasty cloze tests!' (Hannah Martin)
'Georgie's tutor was fantastic! He was passionate about Spanish and was 100% committed to helping her achieve a top grade in her AS. He was patient with her, giving her plenty of encouragement when she needed it, nurturing her confidence and reassuring her. She enjoyed Spanish more than any other subject at AS level.' (Mark Owen)
'My German has shot up since I began tutorials. We've worked really hard on grammar and writing, which I'm much better at, and I feel thoroughly prepared for my AS speaking exam.' (Max Elmore)
'I've had a great tutor helping me with my AS Spanish. She is crazy about her subject, always treats me like an adult and is full of fascinating facts about Spanish culture, which make our tutorials really interesting. She has an amazing knack for explanation too, making grammar far more straightforward to understand than at school.' (Amy James)
We provide comprehensive preparation for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC and CIE AS-Level French, German and Spanish examinations.
Our tutorials focus on the development of the four skills examined - reading, writing, listening and speaking – emphasising tailored presentation, targeted practice and personalised feedback, using a bank of proprietary materials (authentic and semi-authentic), questions and papers, as well as past and specimen papers, to enhance fluency and accuracy, develop vocabulary and grammatical control, build confidence and provide enjoyment and stimulation.
We provide an informal assessment for each tutee at the outset. This provides focus and clarity for the preparation process, allowing us to target accurately where each tutee needs particular support.
Working through the relevant AS-Level specification, our tutorials are also interactive and fun, developing creatively our tutees’ language skills, time management skills, and their ability to respond effectively to the variety of question types found in French, German and Spanish AS-Level examinations.
