Why Choose Me?

I have a lifelong passion for languages. At a young age, I decided I wanted to learn to speak other languages as I had grown up with other cultures and languages. I liked the sound of Spanish and greatly enjoyed learning it privately. I chose to continue with Spanish at university, having spent some time in Madrid one summer.

I earned a degree in languages and linguistics from the University of East Anglia, and my enthusiasm for sharing language and culture has only grown since then.

Learning Spanish with Liz is great!

The lessons are very relaxed which allows me to think and work through my understanding of the language which really helps build confidence. Liz employs a range of teaching methods within and across lessons to bring diversity to my learning. Lessons build on specific areas I want to develop whilst having the flexibility to track back to those topics that we feel need a bit more work. This allows me to progress at a pace I feel comfortable with whilst still pushing me to challenge myself. I would highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable language tutor who is willing to go that extra mile!

Frequently Asked Questions

I am highly flexible to your needs. Lessons generally take place at my home but can take place in a classroom setting, at your business premises, or in the comfort of your own home across the Norwich and Norfolk area. Alternatively, I regularly welcome clients to my own home. I can also offer online lessons or a hybrid mixture of in person/online lessons.

I teach all levels! Whether you are an absolute beginner wanting to learn a few holiday phrases, a GCSE or A-Level student needing focused exam support, or a professional requiring business Spanish, I tailor the lessons entirely to you.

Not necessarily! We will work together to understand your requirements and identify a learning plan. We are free to use whatever materials we decide together, as the entire process is a collaborative partnership.

My passion for languages is vast! I hold a degree in German and Spanish from the University of East Anglia, I speak French fluently, and I am bilingual in Italian and English. I also provide professional interpreting and translation services across these languages.

As each individual learns at a different pace and wants to achieve different levels, this is difficult to determine. However, as the teaching is individual this can be addressed as you progress.
