(based on 4 reviews)

I have been a teacher and leader of MFL for the past 33 years. I am passionate about making MFL more accessible to all and particularly stretching and challenging the more able to reach those top grades at GCSE. I have been a MFL Consultant since 2008, (for the SSAT) and since 2011 independently. I am a published author of 'The Key To Spanish Grammar' (OUP), and I have written various Spanish KS3, GCSE writing and A level packs for Zigzag Education. I am currently writing for Pearson.
