Todo sobre Katherine
"I had the chance to go and live with a Spanish friend Estefania and her family in Malaga, I jumped at it”. Katherine spent four years living and working in southern Spain around the cities of Málaga, Granada and Córdoba where she acquired the language naturally.

Her studies and work across Spain which included months working in the offices of a local Spanish TV production company, fully immersed her into the Spanish culture and way of life.

Having to learn myself and to help my children learn a foreign language I know how important it is to have access to the world and made me choose the best methods to teach."

"Bonjour, Hola My name is Laure and I am from Normandy in France. I studied foreign languages in France, England and Spain and I have an Open University Degree. I am an experienced French native speaker. I have taught French in the UK, in various Adult Education Centres, in a Language school (covering all levels from beginners to advanced/conversation). I have also taught French for companies such as the Automobile Association (AA) and Kimberley-Clark as well as a children's French club (I have an enhanced DBS check and Level 1 Safeguarding Adults and Children training).
My passion is languages and I can speak Spanish (I lived and studied in Spain), Italian (I have an A’ Level in Italian) and I am currently learning Russian. I really enjoy teaching and passing on my knowledge about French language and culture. I also believe that, because I am used to learning foreign languages, I understand the difficulties that students meet when they learn a language.
I can offer one-to-one à la carte lessons to match your specific linguistic goals on Skype or in central Bath cafes (one-to-one/small groups). I can help with your child's French examination (GCSE and A' Level).
À bientôt" laure@todoelmundo.co.uk
