MEET THE TUTORS
CRAIG
SPANISH
ITALIAN
FRENCH
GREEK
I'm Craig and I have been teaching languages for almost 15 years now.
I am a relaxed and patient teacher and I am well suited to anyone who needs to learn Spanish, Italian, French or Greek at their own pace or who needs things explained well and carefully to them.
I am well qualified for the job with a BA Honours degree with triple distinctions in Spanish, Italian & French as well as Teacher Qualified Status and a CELTA.
I have also lived, worked and studied in Spain, Italy, France and Greece.
I have studied a lot of languages myself. I've studied up to 40 languages over the years. I have achieved fluency in my core languages, but I have also reached a fairly good standard in some other languages or have acquired a basic knowledge of many others.
I will use some of the methods I have used to learn these languages to help teach you and guide you step by step towards speaking and understanding your chosen language.
I am also DBS (previously CRB) checked for your security.
