About Felicity

As a founder tutor at this site, I have worked as a volunteer French and Spanish Teaching Assistant at Pimlico Academy (as programme manager for the this site Foundation team) and led workshops on preparing for 11+ and Common Entrance tests.

I’ve been a professional tutor for over ten years and I am passionate about the subjects I teach. I teach students in the UK, Japan, America, Australia, China, Italy, Russia, Switzerland and France, so I am very experienced in online tuition via Zoom and Skype.

I believe in unlocking a student's potential, helping them access the subject and adjusting each class to their needs. Every child learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to the individual: creativity is paramount. I have worked with children with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, sensory disorder and regularly speak to Educational Psychologists and school teachers for best practice. I have been fortunate enough to teach all over the world and with children at both State, Academy and Private Schools.

I’m happy to discuss rates, depending on what you need, please get in touch!

FRENCH AND SPANISH:
During my degree in Modern European Languages - specialising in Literature - at Durham University, I went to University in France on an Erasmus Scholarship and have lived and worked as a teacher in Spain. Initially qualifying as a TEFL teacher, I taught Business English and Primary English for children in Spain, before going on to teach at my training college (Oxford TEFL). I have been teaching languages to children as young as 6, through to a wonderful 89 year old woman. Fluent in both French and Spanish, I teach French from beginners through to post-graduate level and Spanish from beginners to A Level.

I believe that confidence is the key to understanding a language, and understanding a language helps the memory for learning. I’ve written articles and books on learning languages, so it is my absolute mission to help students fall in love with learning and to have fun in doing so.

My revision books for French GCSE and IGCSE are available on Amazon, from the RSL Educational Ltd website, and in bookshops.
Volume 1: Listening, Speaking (concealed information)
Volume 2: Reading, Writing, Translation (concealed information)

Here's my online guide on how to revise for French GCSE: (concealed information)

11+ & COMMON ENTRANCE:
I currently teach English from Year 2 through to A Level, and regularly keep up to date with the changes to Entrance Exams. My classes are energetic and good fun; this is key to engaging a student and keeping them interested. I work through the foundations of English, covering grammar and sentence structure to figurative language, poetry, creative writing and comprehension. I look to inspire students in their subjects and try to find the best techniques to help each student learn and absorb; including memory games and learning tricks for those with dyslexia. I focus on expanding the emotional intelligence of a student and confidence building in individuals; helping students understand what is unique to them whilst making sure they don't go into interviews sounding like they've been prepped.

Last year, my students have gained places at: Eton, South Hampstead High School, Haberdashers' Aske's School for Boys, Lambrook, ASL, St Paul’s Girls’ School, Westminster, Godolphin and Latymer, Benenden, Wycombe Abbey and North London Collegiate.

FURTHER INFO:
Previous experience includes working as an English Teacher in my training college in Barcelona, then going on to teach business English at Volkswagen and Danone. I am a senior tutor and confidence coach for other independent tutoring agencies and as a workshop facilitator I have worked for the FCO and for Teach First, delivering workshops on physical presence and vocal skills to teacher trainees. I am a professional Translator and Writer for theatre, books and film, working with the Institut Francais du Royaume Uni.
