Madeleine is fascinated by the science of learning and how knowledge can be transferred effectively between different subjects, ages and learning needs.

From tutoring at university to qualified teacher
Madeleine's tutoring experience began before her teaching career and has continued alongside her work in schools.
Trained in English & Maths intervention
Worked across Primary and Secondary schools in West Yorkshire, including mainstream and alternative provision.
Progressed into languages teaching
Her experience across different educational settings led her to train as a teacher in her degree subjects, French and Spanish.

Madeleine now teaches languages in a secondary school while continuing to tutor Primary pupils, SATs, 11+, GCSE French and GCSE Spanish.

Language learning“Every person works and learns differently, so effective teaching starts with understanding the pupil rather than forcing the pupil into one teaching method.”
Science of learning
Teaching that changes with the learner
Madeleine takes time to understand each student's individual needs, goals and abilities so that her instruction can be tailored and consistent.
Her experience across languages, Primary intervention, entrance examinations and different educational settings has strengthened her belief that strong subject knowledge must be paired with an understanding of how the individual pupil learns.
Whether the goal is passing the 11+, preparing for SATs, improving Primary English or Maths, succeeding in GCSE French or Spanish, or simply developing confidence, the teaching approach is shaped around that learner.
