INTRODUCTION

Hi,

My name’s Will and I don’t just love languages … I live them. I’m an active language learner as well as an experienced languages tutor. I believe everyone can learn a foreign language and the best way to do this is to be an active language learner.

Or, to put it another way, the best way of learning languages is living languages. This is the basis of my approach to language teaching.

Do you want…

  • FREE language learning resources?
  • Expert advice to help you prepare for your exams?
  • More information on my range of tutoring services?
  • Or just a little inspiration to turbo-charge your language learning?

Then you’re in the right place.

So what are you waiting for? Start Living Languages.

WHO AM I ?
  • Qualified secondary school teacher
  • First-class degree in French and Latin from Oxford University.
  • Teaching languages since 2005.
  • Specialist in GCSE Latin and A-Level French.
  • Provide private tuition to all ages and levels.
  • Teach French, Spanish, Latin and English as a foreign language.
SERVICES

In addition to the resources and information I offer on my site, I also offer a number of private tuition services. If you are interested in finding out more information or booking one of the services below, please use the relevant links below or send me a message through my contact page and I will get back to you within 24 hours.

Ongoing languages tuition (all languages)

This is a traditional tuition service where lessons are provided on an ongoing basis. Following an initial session where I understand your aims and reasons for learning a language and your current level (whether it’s complete beginner or advanced), I will then deliver lessons tailored to your needs according to an agreed schedule. For those who live within an easily commutable distance of me, I can offer face-to-face tuition. I also offer online tuition (via Skype) for those who do not live close to me or those who prefer this medium. Online tuition is fast becoming a competitive alternative to face-to-face and for many is in fact preferable. This is because it allows you to make use of your computer’s or device’s built-in information sharing applications, use a range of multimedia and record lessons for reference later.

Diagnosis and advisory sessions (all languages – online only)

You may not wish to have tuition on an ongoing basis, but instead need a session or two to receive targeted advice and help on your language learning or exam technique. I provide one-hour sessions where we will discuss your issue and approaches and next steps to address it. Following the diagnosis session I will also provide a short report summarising my advice and the next steps identified. These sessions are perfect for you (or your child) if you:

 

  • are about to take an exam and need some help with preparation
  • are already learning a language elsewhere, but need some targeted advice to help you improve

One-off conversation classes (French, Spanish and English only – online only)

Maybe you are learning a language on your own or in school, but just wish to have a chance once in a while to practise speaking the language and to receive a little feedback and guidance. These sessions are perfect for you as they focus purely on the spoken language in an area of your choice. Prior to the lesson, I will contact you by email to get your aims for the session and what you specifically want to focus on. I will then prepare a conversation session targeted to those aims and focus areas.
