About Freddie
I am a Cambridge graduate and training barrister with extensive tutoring experience. With several hundred hours' experience between over 50 clients and students, I am a versatile and resourceful tutor used to making the online classroom an effective learning space. I understand the pressure that children are put under in the entrance exam system, and aim to create a calm environment conducive to building self-confidence. Please do get in touch for more information. My approach strikes a balance between the rigour needed to make progress and the calm, positive environment that will make you or your child learn with enthusiasm. With a Starred First in languages from Cambridge, I bring hard work, experience and dedication. With years of teaching languages (German, Spanish) and 11+ subjects behind me, my students regularly reach their goals, be that meeting a GCSE or A-level target or simply learning for fun. I have taught both privately and in professional settings, including as a school teacher and as a freelance tutor to corporate clients. I use a range of resources and teaching techniques to create a productive and non-pressured study environment, particularly helpful to any school students seeking to regain the enthusiasm they may have lost at school. I am well acquainted with 11+ formats and a range of GCSE and A-level boards, as well as a variety of films and plays that may form part of your child's syllabus. If you book with me, you can expect a reliable and flexible service and, most importantly, a young professional who remembers the pressures of public exams well and who knows the tips and tricks that can make a daunting time much more manageable. My prices reflect a proven track record and the time I will take to plan and travel to lessons and set or mark homework. My own A-level results included high A*s in German, Spanish and English. I am able to offer trial lessons at a 50% discount. My previous achievements include: - Bringing an A level student from a predicted B to an A in her German A-level. - Working with another A level student towards an A* in his Spanish A-level. - Taking GCSE students to 7s, 8s and 9s in German and Spanish. - Helping a Year 9 Spanish student make up lost ground after a difficult school year. - Accelerating a younger German student to take their GCSE early. - Working extensively with 11+ candidates across London. My personal achievements include: - 4 A*s at A level (German, Spanish, English, Latin) - Starred First in German and Farsi at University of Cambridge. - Certified C2 fluency in Spanish at University of Cambridge Language Centre. - Numerous academic prizes at Cambridge, including a prize for the best exam results in my faculty and in my college. Read more about my experiences here - I have spent the last years living in Europe and Asia as a languages student on my year abroad. I have always enjoyed teaching and my experience includes numerous weeks of teaching German to teenage refugees in a Berlin high-school. I learnt to be creative in explaining and demonstrating the complexities of German grammar and pronunciation to a group of non-Europeans, keeping the lessons fun, varied and tailored to the student. I have also worked on a one-to-one basis tutoring school students in German, Spanish and English literature at GCSE level and at A-Level, helping them to overcome any difficulties they have with language and literature learning. My experience with languages and linguistics in higher education allows me to locate exactly what my students find challenging and what teaching methods will work to help them. Some struggle with grammar, some with pronunciation, some with the curriculum and some simply need to build their confidence. As a friendly, young tutor familiar with UK public examinations and with the European language framework, I can offer tailored lessons to whomever needs help - whether it be with conversation, reading, writing or listening skills. I have a bookcase full of language resources, as well as access to and knowledge of numerous online language learning resources and a good understanding of German, Spanish and Latin American culture. I would love to be able to help any language learners out there - please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions whatsoever.

My lessons provide a calm environment where your child can hone their entrance exam skills or learn to impress in admissions interviews. Over sessions lasting 60 or 90 minutes, I aim to build the confidence needed to perform under pressure, whether that means mastering in-exam techniques or building a more expressive vocabulary. I have particular experience with non-native English language students who require specific assistance to boost their communicative skills. With my help, students of mine have tackled admissions into a wide range of schools.

I have known Freddie for one year and have been his supervisor for the German Tripos papers at Pembroke College Cambridge. He is a delightful, reliable and kind person whose academic work has been excellent. He would make a very good tutor and I can recommend him in good conscience and whole-heartedly on scholarly as well as personal grounds.
Dr Marion Kant, Cambridge, 24 July 2018
Pembroke College CambridgeFreddie is an incredibly talented linguist and comes highly recommended as a tutor in German, Spanish, Latin and English. At Latymer Upper School (where he was Head Boy) he served as an Academic Mentor, tutoring younger pupils in a range of subjects, and he has also worked at a school in Berlin teaching refugees Spanish (in German!) Freddie has excellent people skills and will quickly build a rapport with pupils and parents alike.
