I'm Emily, a native Californian living in Valencia, Spain. I have lived here for 3 years tutoring students of various levels in primary schools. I received a bilingual education for the entirety of my educational career and now I am happy to help students understand the use and benefits of learning new languages! I studied my undergraduate degree in California, United States, where I am from. I majored in Spanish Language studies, with an emphasis in Spanish-English translation. I am currently a Master student in Valencia, Spain, while working as a Spanish tutor for students.

**SSH** Experienced tutor with advanced French degree and 20 years teaching. I teach French and Russian as a foreign language to groups and individuals from beginner to advanced level. In my teaching I use traditional and online materials. Together we can achieve more!

I am a graduate scientist with my most recent work experience in neuroscience. I am passionate about teaching as that is one of the ways in which I can impart something knowledgeable as well as learn something new from the students too. I am someone who finds learning fun and engaging, as I learn something new every single day!

I am passionate about helping young people get the most out of their education. I will work with you and your child to find common ground, relate their studies to things that interest and engage them, and hopefully be that one to one person who makes things "click" for them. Working within a class suits a lot of children, but isn't always the best approach for everyone. Asking questions is a lot easier when you are in a safe one to one environment. Whether you need someone to sit with your child while they do their homework, work on extra examples to deepen their understanding so they enjoy class time more, or work towards an entrance or 11 plus exam I can help. I have worked in and out of schools since I gained my degree. I am married with a teenage daughter. Outside of work I love being outdoors, walking, gardening and on my paddleboard. I have a first class BaHons in Fashion and Textiles as this was my passion as a teenager and worked for many years as a clothing buyer. I loved school and gained 4 a levels (AABB) and 11 GCSES (a*/a). Unlike many parents I loved homeschooling my daughter during covid and it made me realise that tutoring was going to be in my future
