Jorge F
Experienced Spanish and Portuguese tutor.
Hello I am Jorge. I am originally Portuguese with Spanish roots and I love to both teach and learn. I've studied Spanish up to University and I've lived in the UK for more than eight years. I've tutored some pupils in the local community, helped them in Spanish with good results. Portuguese is my first language and I am ready to help anyone reach their targets. Both Portuguese and Spanish are very similar languages which are derived from Latin. For an English speaking student it can be very hard to comprehend the languages at times. My approach to teaching pupils is by finding an easy and simple...

Peter H
Excellent Tutor:
My son had an absolutely brilliant lesson with Peter, really pleased. My son is currently revising for his French GCSE speaking exam.
Peter knew exactly what the Edexcel exam entailed, covered a mock, gave him lots of tips. I wasn't expecting feedback, but he very kindly gave me a summary of my son's progress and where to focus. He also very kindly corrected some answers my son had written.
Highly recommend Peter as a tutor, he's brilliant.
