Information about Florence
I am a reliable tutor with a PGCE from the UCL Institute of Education, ranked best in the world for education, and eight years of teaching experience that includes work in both schools and private homes in England and abroad. I have taught all ages from three year olds to adults and in many different countries. I am enthusiastic, hard working, caring and have a strong knowledge of the UK curriculum.
I speak five languages and am passionate about the benefits of language learning. Last year I was a student ambassador for the Association for Language Learning (ALL) and as part of my teacher training scholarship attended APPG meetings at the House of Lords to discuss language related issues.
As well as languages I teach a range of primary subjects and entrance exam preparation.

Florence tutored my daughter for GCSE Italian. Florence is an excellent tutor. She is engaging and enthusiastic about her subject. She arrived on time and proved to be flexible if we had to re-arrange any classes.
My daughter was predicted a 5 but with Florences help she was achieving 8s in recent past papers.
