About Aaron
Formerly Head of the Faculty of Modern Foreign Languages at Dauntsey`s School and Head of Spanish at Canford School, Aaron has had twenty-three years` experience tutoring French, German and Spanish to GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, Pre-U and IB students, as well as undergraduates from top UK universities, Common Entrance (CE) candidates, primary school children, and adults wishing to `taste` a new language, or develop their language skills. His passion for languages is infectious and his LinguaAccelerate methodology is highly effective, inspiring confidence, motivation and interest, consistently achieving results which exceed expectations.
Aaron is a Specialist Examiner for CIE (Spanish and French), AQA (Spanish), Edexcel (French) and OCR (French), equipping him with unique insight into `what examiners want`. His emphasis on language learning through meaningful communication is characteristic of `next generation` language tutors, infusing the language learning experience with stimulating, targeted activities, tailored to each learner`s needs.
Aaron has a Master`s Level Diploma in Language Teaching and a BA Double Honours in Spanish and German. He has also completed the final year of a BA Honours in French and a BSc in Psychology, specialising in language learning, perception, memory and problem solving. More recently he achieved a Distinction in his Master of Business Administration (MBA).
His understanding of the language learning process is what differentiates him from other language tutors, and this is reflected in the outstanding results his tutees consistently achieve. He is fully conversant with the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 in Modern Foreign Languages and Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 in French, German and Spanish. He has tutored the specifications of all the main examination boards for GCSE, IGCSE and A Level, and has prepared tutees for CIE Pre-U and International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations.
Aaron`s love of French, German and Spanish culture is equalled only by his love of teaching and tutoring. He is an expert in French, German and Spanish literature, an experienced teacher trainer and an avid lecturer in the language learning process.

Experience:
Having taught in two of the top UK Independent Schools, Dauntsey`s School and Canford School, Aaron has gained a wealth of experience advising students on their GCSE, A Level and university choices, revision planning and the UCAS application process. He has also had nine years` experience preparing tutees for 11 Plus English and verbal reasoning papers, fifteen years` experience teaching ESOL and EAL, and has consulted on long-term career planning for students of Modern Foreign Languages. At Canford School and Dauntsey`s School, he assumed responsibility for Oxbridge preparation for students of Modern Foreign Languages and for the past seven years he has developed bespoke French, German and Spanish courses for university undergraduates at Russell Group universities, supporting them throughout their four-year degree programme.
Tutoring Approach:
Aaron’s philosophy is predicated upon the belief that all learners are unique:
• they have unique learning needs;
• they have unique learning styles;
• they embody unique leaning experiences;
• they are motivated by unique learning outcomes.
If the learning process is unique to each individual, then the tutoring process must be unique also. In this way, he advocates that tutoring should be tailored to meet each learner’s unique learner profile. To this end, he is flexible and adaptable and plans strategically to offer each tutee multiple avenues through which they can access, understand, and apply what they learn. To achieve this, he adopts his highly-effective, tutee-centred methodology, LinguaAccelerate™.

I would thoroughtly recommend Aaron to any parent of a child or a student looking for tutoring in French and/or Spanish.
He is highly profssional and really cares about his students. He also motivates and inspires them with his own passion and enthusiasm towards languages.My lessons with Aaron have developed my communication and grammar skills very quickly in a very short amount of time. I am more confident both in my speaking and written skills, Aaron tailed a programme specifically for me working on things that I personally struggled with or found challenging and therefore it was easier to address what I needed to work on. I can already see the improvements in my work at school but also in my revision. Aaron is extremely friendly and very helpful not only in French but with other useful skills to adopt to my revision technique!
After having had Aaron as a French tutor for a month now and I would safely say that I have made considerable progress as a consequence. Immediately Aaron was able to recognise weaker areas in my ability and thus provide productive and focused sessions to combat these problems. I have gathered not only more confidence in French, but excellent advice on such things as grammar, pronunciation, common mistakes and many more various skills. After looking back over a month’s worth of sessions, I have surprised myself how quickly I have progressed in French and would without a doubt recommend Aaron as a tutor to anyone seeking tuition in languages.
Aaron is a highly knowledgeable and experienced linguist and an outstanding languages tutor, teacher and manager. He has always been a great motivator and mentor.
Aaron helped me improve my French grammar immeasurably, and I feel much more confident to take my A2 French now. We covered a lot more than I do in school, and I could focus on my weak areas. At first my grammar was incredibly weak, but now I feel confident using PDOs, the subjunctive mode and all the tenses I need. I was able to learn vocabulary at the same time because of the translation work we did and I believe my pronunciation improved too, because it is now the best in my class!
I have been attending Spanish tutoring with Aaron for about six weeks now, and I already feel that I have made great progress in my Spanish. Due to an incontinuity of Spanish teachers at school, I felt I wasn’t reaching my full potential in Spanish, however thanks to Aaron’s enthusiasm for languages, and obvious teaching experience, my tutoring sessions are always enjoyable, productive and informative. I would recommend Aaron to anyone who is looking to really improve their confidence, understanding and fluency in languages.
I cannot speak highly enough of Aaron. He has helped me enormously to build up my confidence with grammar, translations, essay writing and analysis of texts, and I always look forward to his lessons. I found Aaron only 3 weeks before my Cambridge interviews but his dedication and motivation were amazing and we managed to cover so much, including works by Lorca, Márquez and Camus. He is the best teacher I have ever had, and I highly recommend him.
Aaron always has a structured lesson plan and knows how to taylor his teaching methods to a way that I will respond well to. He has an excellent knowledge of the exam system for many different boards. I couldn't have asked for a more conscientious and thorough tutor.
If you're looking for high quality effective language tuition, Aaron's your answer! Not only is Aaron clearly a very intelligent individual and able linguist, he also has invaluable people skills enabling him to connect with his pupils and as a result quickly establish and address their weaknesses. These skills along with his friendly nature reassure his pupils that he's working with them not against them which in turn allows him to bring out the best in their ability, and significantly improve their confidence. He always tailors his lessons to suit his pupils' needs and always tries to stretch and test their ability. Aaron has taught me French for a few months now and I haven't looked back. As a result of his tutoring I'm far more confident in my French ability; I don't doubt myself as much and I now believe in myself. But most importantly I've learnt an incredible amount in a short space of time and I'm far more aware of where my weaknesses lie. The final thing I'll mention is that Aaron never assumes ones' basic grammar is up to scratch, he aways covers the fundamentals to ensure they're at the required standard; not all tutors do this. I couldn't recommend Aaron enough and anyone tutored by him is a very fortunate individual with high prospects.
I was looking for someone to provide French A2 A level tuition for my son and Aaron has been brilliant. He has done weekly sessions via Skype since September. My son says his sessions have helped with confidence in class. He has developed a better understanding of how to form phrases and tenses. Aaron is really engaging and enthusiastic and gives clear direction. Initially sceptical about using Skype, it actually works very well in conjunction with Google docs for written work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron to other students looking for additional support in their studies.
Aaron has been a God-send. His website is incredibly useful and I find his tuition over Skype highly effective. The potential fear of the lack of traditional personal interaction is nothing to worry about. My Spanish has dramatically improved, both orally and aurally, in the few months I have had tutoring. Aaron and I have perfectly accustomed and tailored the lessons according to my specific needs and particular topics I desire to study. I could not recommend a more attentive, useful and outstanding Skype/online tutoring service.
My son and daughter took Spanish and French lessons with Aaron throughout their GCSE's and A-Levels and we feel indebted to him for his professionalism, courtesy, the quality of his tutoring, our children's superb results, and for always being there whenever we sought advice regarding anything to do with our children's schooling. The level of service was always outstanding and he was talented and fun, with a knack for generating interest and curiosity in subject matter which is, by its very nature, sometimes quite 'dry'! The children loved their classes and often requested additional lessons, as they enjoyed the experience so much. I cannot recommend Aaron any more highly - he is a very experienced and highly qualified professional. Great tutoring!
Our son really enjoyed his tutor lessons with Aaron. Aaron always made them fun and interesting to keep our son engaged. Whilst we were primarily employing Aaron to enhance our son's English skills, we also then engaged him to practice verbal reasoning for the 11 Plus. The use of modern technology, iPad, kept our son's mind on the task in hand. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron as an English and 11 Plus Tutor teacher. And I suspect we will be using him for foreign languages one day too!
I started tuition in Spanish with Aaron six weeks ago in preparation for my A level next year. My lessons with my tutor are always well structured, fun and tailored to my needs. My confidence and knowledge have grown immensely and the enthusiasm Aaron has for the language is catching! I am certain, having found Aaron, I will achieve my goal next year.
My daughter was tutored by Aaron in the run up to her Oxbridge interviews in December 2016. The support, encouragement, and help she was given by Aaron was excellent. He is a first rate languages tutor, and her Skype sessions with him really helped build her confidence, and develop her language skills in the run up to her Modern Languages Admissions Test and interview. I'm sure this played a big part in her securing a conditional offer from Oxford university. Many thanks Aaron!
I have been tutored by Aaron via Skype for a number of years, and the sheer enthusiasm and knowledge I have gained, has really pushed me towards Oxbridge. Aaron's knowledge bemuses me every time we meet, his passion to share his love of languages is unquestionably incredible. My confidence has blossomed and I have noticed a vast improvement in my desired languages. I would highly recommend BLT to anyone wanting to gain a place at Oxbridge. Thanks Aaron!
Aaron has been supporting my son for several months now in order to help him progress with his Spanish GCSE. I can only say that we have received nothing less than expert Spanish tuition all the way and am extremely grateful for all the hard work, understanding and patience that Aaron has provided.
I would strongly, wholeheartedly recommend Aaron to anyone that may need to learn or would like help with Spanish and can confirm that my son has progressed extremely well with all the expert tuition he has been given.
My only regret is that I wish I had found Aaron earlier. Highly recommended. An exceptional, efficient, reliable and friendly service. Thank you very much. Excellent!With Aaron, I went from just being able to say 'hello' to basically AS level in one year. He is a great motivator and gets me to push myself much further than I would on my own. He chooses a variety of interesting topics to expand my vocabulary, and is very skilled at explaining grammar in a simple way. While I'm free to take the lessons in any direction I want, they are always well-structured and build on my existing knowledge. He makes sure to cover all bases, from speaking to writing, and points out my strengths and weaknesses. What's special about Aaron is that we also talk about language theory and parallels to other languages- I'm continuously impressed with the scope of his knowledge! More importantly, he uses it to help me understand the logic of Spanish, rather than just 'learn the rules'. With his expertise in exam preparation, I have recently decided to take the DELE exam as Aaron is the best person to prepare me for it. I honestly have nothing to fault and can only recommend him as a tutor.
To whom it may concern,
Aaron Neame is an extremely reliable and postive tutor who encourages people of all abilities to achieve their very best.
I have personally found my lessons to be enriching and highly enjoyable. I always come away from a lesson feeling confident in myself and my language ability and it is all due to the time and care that Aaron Neame puts into preparing such quality lessons.
Aaron is not only an impeccable teacher; he adapts to an individuals needs and teaches every student in a way that best suits them.
I have no doubt that a student of any ability will benefit greatly from his tutoring.I have worked with Aaron for just under a term now. I mainly used him for additional French classes, however he assisted me with some Spanish as well. He has been a very professional tutor throughout my tuition, and he is constantly striving to push me to my full potential. He has also come across as someone who genuinely cares for my progress, and regularly continues teaching me past the agreed time to ensure I finish my work, or fully understand a topic. As a person he is very kind and bubbly, I never feel nervous or uneasy during our lessons. He approaches each lesson with a positive mindset, and he has been a great help to me in an academic respect.
Aaron of Bespoke Languages Tuition has been excellent for my 4 children. My eldest was struggling. Aaron took time to understand her challenges and tailor his tutoring to her needs. As a result she scored 3 grades higher at GCSE. My 15 year old has just scored 3rd place in his year at school. My 13 & 12 year olds are doing well; all guided by Aaron. Aaron delivers tailored, flexible tuition with a smile. An excellent tutor to whom we are very grateful.
Aaron has been incredibly helpful in tutoring me for my Pre-U Spanish, he always makes time for my sessions and focuses the lessons around me as an individual. This term we have been focusing on grammar and as a result I have improved a lot from the varied exercises that we do and the appropriate amount of work set for outside lessons that help me improve further. Muchas gracias Aaron!
Excellent French and Spanish tuition! Both languages have improved immensely since starting with my French and Spanish tutor. Especially easy as it uses Skype and fits in well with my timetable! Would recommend 100%!
Aaron has been a wonderful tutor over the years - his knowledge, kindness, and absolute passion for languages is truly inspiring. As a tutor, he carefully tailors classes and approaches according to individual needs to ensure the best possible results.
