A born linguist who speaks 4 languages - and the first foreign language I learnt was, of course, French

I obtained a TEFL certificate last year, which was a fairly good consolidation of 20+ years learning foreign languages; and a good cementing of the finer points of my language understanding 10 years after my A* in English A Level. Before that, I studied 3 languages at A Level, and then 2 at University (French and Portuguese BA, University of Bristol). Teaching-wise, I have taught conversational English when I lived in Brazil; helping Brazilians with their language skills as they attempted to apply for jobs in America primarily (a common route for Latin Americans). As such, for me and for most people who want to learn a language, the priority is being able to speak that language. As an innate communicator, conversational French is my strongpoint. My degree in two romance languages means that for those students that desire lessons with a more academic and structural focus, I can teach these too. I know full well that 20 years of language tuition, plus a BA in two languages (while still speaking Spanish at B2 level) - ontop of my TEFL certificate - will equip me well to teach you all. I cannot wait to learn with you! Thank you Tom
