I am Tom, a fluent speaker of : English, Spanish, French and Italian. I have been teaching these languages for several years now to many different people of all different ages, levels, and backgrounds. I specialise in all areas so do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to learn! I receive 5* ratings from all of my students and have helped students that are studying for exams gain at least 2 grades higher than their teacher predicted, and I have also helped my students move abroad to the country of the language they are learning! My lessons are all specially tailored around my students and are all made by me. This means you will never receive the same lesson as someone else, I do not recycle them, and they will all be specially fitted around your interests, needs, and ability. I do not believe in negativity, therefore you will always receive positive feedback in order to make sure you feel confident in your learning and always know which way is up!
I have tutored many different people over the years in Spanish, French, and Italian. As a recognition of my success with my clients I was also headhunted for a job working in a primary school and received excellent ratings from teachers and pupils despite it being my first ever primary school job. I have experience teaching: Individuals, couples, students (of all exams), beginners, intermediate speakers, advanced speakers - everyone!
For 2 hour lessons I will charge only half price on top instead of charging for 2 full hours i.e. a £30 lesson per hour for 2 consecutive hours would be £45 instead of £60.
For speaking ONLY lessons (i.e. conversation practice) this is only £15 an hour (ONLINE)

Work Experience
Owner Tuition Company
I opened and manage my own private tuition company that specialises in teaching people of all ages and abilities a foreign language, be that: Spanish, French, or Italian. I teach people in preparation for moving to a foreign country, for recreational purposes, family purposes, and to prepare students for exams. I advertise my services on various tutor websites, along with private advertisement.
This job allows me to improve my communication skills as it is required of me to be able to clearly communicate new concepts and ideas in order that the student I am teaching enjoys their learning, and understands the subject matter. This job also requires me to have organisational skills as it is essential for me to have lessons prepared with activities tailored to each individual student’s needs.
Spanish Primary Teacher
For one afternoon per week, I am employed to teach Spanish to primary school children at a local Church of England primary school. This requires me to have fun, and very interactive lessons prepared so that a large class of children are engaged with the subject matter. Communication skills are essential in this job, as at such a young age it is necessary for the children that they have a leader figure who can keep a class under control, calm, and engaged. This job also requires a lot of positivity, and activity.
Translator at Gengo
In my spare time I am employed by the online American translation company ‘Gengo’. This is freelance translation work that I am offered should a client need translation services. This job requires me to be able to efficiently handle documents and accurately translate them to an excellent standard for the customer. Customer feedback is essential in this job, so making sure that the work is at my best, as with all my work, is a number one priority.
