French, Italian, English, 11+, Oxbridge Applications
A First-Class Cambridge French and Italian graduate and Senior Scholar, Kathryn specialises in languages, Oxbridge applications and the 11+, with lessons as varied as her students.
Kathryn graduated from Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge in 2015 with a First in French and Italian, a Special Excellence in her Italian oral and Senior Scholar status. She was an Academic and Music Scholar at Uppingham School, and went on to complete the Graduate Diploma in Law with Distinction and the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law.
Kathryn began teaching during her Erasmus year in Verona, studying at the university and conservatoire while teaching at an English language school for students aged 3 to 21, and has tutored ever since. She specialises in French, Italian and English at every level from complete beginner to degree, and in Oxbridge Modern Languages applications, from the technical side of applying to interview skills and helping students explore their own interests in the subject. She also enjoys preparing children for the 11+ across the state and independent sectors.
Kathryn describes her teaching as varied: no two students are the same, so no two lessons are either. She tailors lessons to each student’s interests, learning style and goals, and believes enthusiasm and fun build confidence and progress. Past paper practice and clear exam technique are part of her lessons, alongside creative ways to build lasting skills.
