About Sophie

Hi! My name is Sophie. I am a highly qualified, dedicated, friendly and engaging teacher with a passion for everything English and language-related. I am a patient and understanding person who will work with you or your child to help you achieve your goals in a way that makes learning feel like a pleasure.

As well as 10 years of teaching experience to monolingual, bilingual and multilingual groups, I have a BA in English Language and Literature, an MA (Distinction) in Screenwriting, a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism and the CELTA certificate in English language teaching (as well as various British Council qualifications including the Primary Teacher Training Course and the Certificate in Secondary English Language Teaching). I have taught in Paris, Seville and London, with students from all over the world, and have personally tutored ages 7 to adult, from absolute beginner to proficiency. At the British Council in Paris, where I taught for six years, I was one of the only teachers to teach across all departments - early years, primary, secondary, adult, business, exams and bilingual. I am equally comfortable teaching children and adults, and I love the way that one-to-one tutoring allows the teacher to adapt fully to the needs of the student, helping them to get results in areas they may have previously struggled with. I create a positive learning environment and I find it extremely rewarding to watch my students grow in confidence.

I have taught all the Cambridge Exams (from Starters, Movers and Flyers right up to CPE) and am a highly experienced IELTS teacher, having taught intensive classes and one- to-one preparation for ten years with proven results. I also taught English GCSE for several years to bilingual French/English students, and have taught in schools, private academies, in-company and in students' homes. I speak French and Spanish and currently work as a film journalist, subtitle translator, proof-reader and transcriber as well as a personal tutor.

I also have a particular interest in creative writing and literature, and can help you with everything from essay planning to story structure. I am very experienced with university applications and personal statement writing, having tutored and taught students who were accepted to MIT, Brown and Cambridge University, amongst others.

It is extremely important to me that students are happy with their lessons and feel that they are making progress. I will work closely with students and/or parents to define your individual goals and needs, and will provide organised and structured lessons around these particular aims.

Whether you have recently moved to the country and you or your child needs help with English communication, you have an IELTS exam to pass or you want to learn how to structure a screenplay, please get in touch with me to discuss how I can help!
