About Sasha
Hi! I’m Sasha and in my fourth and final year studying Modern and Medieval Languages at Cambridge.
What I love about languages is not simply language-learning, but the literatures, histories and cultures that we can access by learning any particular language. Through studying French, Spanish and Portuguese, I am very familiar with the process of learning a foreign language, from grammar queries, to practical ways you can memorise vocab outside of lessons.
Aside from the technical,linguistic side of languages, my degree allows me to study the cultures, histories, and literatures of French-, Spanish-, and Portuguese-speaking countries, meaning I am well-versed in both history- and literature-style essay writing, as well as thinking about engaging critical ideas when reading texts.
I have tutored students up to age 16 in foreign languages, taught English to Spanish children, and have lots of experience in Oxbridge admissions for a variety of subjects. I look forward to working with you!

About Faith
Hi, I'm Faith! I graduated from Cambridge last year with a high first in History and French and am now studying for my law conversion in London. As one of the first students to complete this dual honours degree at Cambridge, I was able to combine my passion for French literature and grammar with my enthusiasm for 19th and 20th-century history. As well as studying and working in France for two years, I have also taught myself Italian, Spanish and (a little bit of!) Arabic. In terms of tutoring experience, I have been working over the last few months for a tutoring agency in Hong Kong, remotely teaching students in London, Canada and Singapore.
I have experience teaching History (GCSE, IB, A-level), French (GCSE, IB, A-level, conversational), English literature and language (GCSE, IB, A-level), as well as general essay subjects. I also have been successful in both the Oxford HAT and Cambridge HAA and can offer broader guidance on the Oxbridge Admissions process (personal statements, practice interviews and wider reading). I hope to use this experience to motivate and enthuse my students about languages and history!

About Izzy
Hello, I am Izzy! I graduated this July with a First-class degree in Modern and Medieval Languages from St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. I mainly studied French and Spanish, though I also completed optional modules in Portuguese and European history. I eventually decided to specialise in French, so I spent my entire Year Abroad working as a translator in two corporate law firms in Paris. I have extensive experience tutoring French and Spanish from KS3 to undergraduate level, and I have also helped students with personal statements and the Oxbridge interview and assessment processes for a range of arts subjects. I hope to share my passion for my subject with my students and to help them build their confidence and truly excel.
