About MADELEINE
I have always been intrigued by languages. I will never forget going on holiday to Spain with my family and hearing the children’s entertainers speaking to us in so many languages. I thought they were amazing. My grandmother bought me my first Spanish dictionary when I was seven. I had no idea how to use it, but I knew I wanted to know what all the words meant. It is now a family heirloom and takes pride of place on my bookcase.
As soon as I went to secondary school, I began learning French and German. They were of course my favourite subjects, but I still had a burning desire to learn Spanish, so I began teaching myself after school. Eventually in year 2000, I realised my lifelong dream of studying a BA honours degree in French and Spanish at Nottingham Trent University. I loved every second of my degree, especially learning about the history and politics of the countries.
I spent my third year abroad, 6 months studying in Strasbourg and 6 months studying in Salamanca. Both were beautiful places and embedded my passion even deeper for language learning. I cannot wait to revisit them with my own children.
After my degree, I knew I wanted to share my passion for languages and began my teacher training. I went to the University of Leeds to complete my PGCE in French and Spanish. Following my PGCE, I went on to teach in an independent school in North Yorkshire for 4 years. I had a brief break from teaching while my children were small and then began teaching part-time in an independent school near Sheffield where I currently still work. I am lucky enough to teach French and Spanish from nursery up to Y11. I absolutely love the variety my role brings.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, my 3 young children keep me very busy! I really enjoy cooking and family trips to the seaside. I also run the tuckshop for my son’s football team at the weekend. It’s lots of fun, but not when it’s raining! As well as a passion for reading, I also love nothing more than watching French and Spanish series on Netflix!
I am an enthusiastic and caring teacher, motivated by the belief that all children can be successful learners. I am looking forward to being your tutor.

I am a qualified Spanish teacher with 18 years experience teaching 3 - 16 year olds.
I am passionate about teaching Spanish and my lessons consist of an approach by Dr Gianfranco Conti in which communication comes first. My approach favours flooding comprehensible input, organising content by communicative functions and a big focus on reading and listening as modelling. The aim is to empower the learner. My lessons are always fun!
I use this approach in the schools I work in from Year 2 (6-7 year olds) up to GCSE. The progress all my pupils make is outstanding.
Lessons are 1 hour and consist of practising all 4 skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
