Information About Charlotte:

Personal Description:

I have always had an interest in languages, studying French, German and English at A-level, followed by a first class BA Dual Hons from Sheffield University in French and German, with a distinction for spoken Swedish. After graduating in 2003 I completed an MA with Distinction in Translation (French and German) and undertook some freelance translation work. After a 'career break' from languages to become a Mum of three girls (aged 12,10 and 7), I am now offering tuition in French and German.
Alongside my language qualifications, I also play piano to post grade 8 standard, and achieved a DipLCM in Performance in 2009. I currently work part-time as a peripatetic piano teacher in two local primary schools and provide lunchtime and after-school French clubs to primary-aged children. I now also offer music theory tuition up to grade 5 level.

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching piano pupils either privately from home or within the school environment since 2003, which has been a great way to refine and develop my one-to-one teaching skills; I love being able to move at the pupil's own pace and respond to their individual needs which is a luxury that private tutors can enjoy. I have also worked with adults and university students who want to refresh their skills rather than work towards specific exams. Recently I have gained experience supporting a student through an Open University programme, which focused on speaking and the fundamentals of German grammar.

Tutoring Approach:

I am happy to respond to the needs of each individual pupil and tailor a programme to suit your needs; if you have particular subject weaknesses that you would like to work on then they can be addressed, or if you have particular topic areas that are of interest to you then we can develop those. I will work with the syllabus requirements that you are working towards, and provide you with work for home in between lessons as required.

Also, due to my background in translation, my specialist area is grammar and writing skills should that be an area that you are keen to work on!

Qualifications:

• First Class BA (Dual Hons) in French and German, with Distinction in spoken Swedish.
• MA with Distinction in Translation (French and German)
• DipLCM in Piano Performance
• Completion of 'How To Be An Effective Teacher' course (ABRSM)
