Spanish Lessons
I had been looking at different tutors for my son for a while, but after meeting Catherine, I knew she was the best choice! He has been having tutoring for a few weeks now and I can really see how much more confident he is with his Spanish. Communication is fantastic and it’s great to get feedback about how my son is doing. I would definitely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for Spanish tutoring! More...

French Lessons
Catherine has been providing French tutoring for my daughter for several weeks, she has always been professional, enthusiastic and has provided supporting resources to help her learning. My daughter enjoys the lessons and feels she has helped her to focus and improve on her weaker areas. She is feeling more confident in her French classes at school, which is a major improvement from when she returned to school after lockdown. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Working both with young people and adults,helping them get to love communicating in foreign languages as much as I do!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Recently retired from full time teaching, over thirty years experience and I still want to keep inspiring young and adult minds and making them acquire a real appetite for learning and improving in a language. Foreign languages have never been more important in the work place than now. The lockdowns have actually created a splendid opportunity for some folk to take up a language as a hobby!

GCSE past paper marking services
