Linguistically Sophie

My love for languages started at an academic level. I received a scholarship to study languages at Cardiff University and later completed a PGCE in language teaching, followed by a Masters in Translation. These academic skills equipped me with indispensable expertise and knowledge, however my linguistic experience goes far further than academia...

Languages have opened doors to countless opportunities along with an inquisitiveness and sense of adventure that have allowed me to live, travel, and work with languages in and around France, Spain, Italy, Australia, Asia, and South America. This has allowed me to teach French, Spanish, Italian, and English as a foreign language, learn new languages and perfect my current skills, whilst developing an understanding and sensitivity towards different cultures and people. Throughout my career, I have had so much fun with languages and my main objective when teaching is to transfer this to language learners so that you enjoy the process and feel comfortable... if this means you have a glass of wine whilst learning, fine by me!
