Maria

I am a foreign language tutor with seven years of teaching experience. After graduating in 2014, I have been living and working in London as a full-time tutor.

I have been teaching Italian and German to KS3, GCSE, IGCSE, Cambridge IGCSE, IB, AS, A-Level, primary students and adult learners, providing in-company and tailor-made courses as well. I am currently teaching evening courses for adults at Eurocentres Language School, St Giles London Central English language school and Islington Centre for English. I always tailor each lesson to my student`s individual needs and personal interests and I use my experience to develop engaging lesson plans, aiming at awaking students` interest and motivation. My communicative approach enables students to develop confidence quickly and to use the language effectively in a variety of situations. To keep sessions engaging and stimulating I use games songs, videos and authentic materials such as films or newspaper articles, which enable students to come into contact with relevant cultural aspects related to each language.

My students have attended Eton College, Queen`s Gate School, Francis Holland School, South Hampstead High School, Sherborne School, St Paul`s Girls` School, Wycombe Abbey, King Edward VI Grammar School, Latymer Upper School, Haberdashers` Aske`s Boys` School, Fine Arts College, Wimbledon College, Forest Independent School, Henrietta Barnett School, Bancrofts School, Caterham School, Hockerill Anglo-European College, Woodbridge High School, Trinity Catholic High School and Sacred Heart of Mary Girls’ School.

I have taught in-company lessons at UniCredit Bank, Thomson Reuters, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and NBCUniversal among others.
I am committed to raising children’s achievements and helping them improve their grades: all my GCSE and IGCSE students achieved a 9 in their final exams in June 2021.
