I teach Spanish and Italian at City Lit and bring my enthusiasm for languages to every class. I have a PhD in Comparative Literature from Queen Mary University of London, an MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching from the University of Oxford, and I’m a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. As a speaker of Spanish, Italian, English, and French, I understand how mixing and connecting languages can make learning more natural – a concept called translanguaging that I use to help you feel confident from day one. My classes are collaborative spaces where everyone builds confidence through real conversation and practical skills. Whether you’re here to travel, study, work, or simply enjoy learning something new, you’ll find a welcoming group that embraces mistakes as part of the journey.
Please note: We reserve the right to change our tutors from those advertised. This happens rarely, but if it does, we are unable to refund fees due to this. Our tutors may have different teaching styles; however we guarantee a consistent quality of teaching in all our courses.
