I'm currently in my third year studying French and German at the University of Oxford. I have 3 years of experience tutoring French, German, English and Spanish across different levels. I have helped students secure top grades in examinations and places at Oxbridge. My approach to tutoring is to tailor lessons to an individual's strengths and weaknesses. I believe in bringing out the best in students by encouraging a positive mindset. I love reading and languages in general. My studies at Oxford have deepened my knowledge of not only modern languages but also textual analysis. In my degree, I am particularly interested in Medieval French literature. I love tutoring because it is so rewarding to see students make progress.

About my sessions

My sessions are tailored to the student's specific learning goals. During the lesson I draw on a wide range of engaging resources including authentic examples in the target language. Past papers are vital in preparation for examinations. Through working on these questions together, the students can gain confidence for the real exam and begin to spot patterns across the papers. I also find consolidation really important so at the start of the lesson I like to revise the vocab from the week...

My sessions are tailored to the student's specific learning goals. During the lesson I draw on a wide range of engaging resources including authentic examples in the target language. Past papers are vital in preparation for examinations. Through working on these questions together, the students can gain confidence for the real exam and begin to spot patterns across the papers. I also find consolidation really important so at the start of the lesson I like to revise the vocab from the week before and refresh the student's memory. I'm a patient, encouraging tutor and remember how challenging juggling exams can be. I find it really satisfying to help a student progress in their subject and to share my passion.

Phoebe has been absolutely instrumental in turning round our daughter's chances in this Summer's GCSE exams. My daughter enjoys the weekly lessons and Phoebe keeps us advised with the progress and what she will be working on the following week. I would recommend Phoebe for French lessons. I appreciate that tutors and students need to click, but it I would suggest that Phoebe would be an amazing tutor to any potential student.

Phoebe has been working with my 16 year old daughter helping with her German oral exam. My daughter loves her lessons and has really grown in confidence. She says Phoebe is a great tutor and I really appreciate the lesson reports as well.
