About Daniel
I am a graduate of MML (French and Spanish) from The University of Cambridge with a master's in Modern Languages from the University of Oxford. I studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris on my year abroad as an undergraduate student and I am greatly fascinated by every aspect of languages. I have been studying French for over fourteen years and Spanish for more than seven years. I have benefited greatly from the world-class education I have received at Cambridge, the ENS and Oxford.
I have adopted a meticulous approach to language study as I have sought to improve in all areas. It is very important not to neglect any area when studying a foreign language! Grammar forms the bedrock of effective communication, as does having a good vocabulary. Learning to express oneself naturally in a foreign language and avoiding anglicisms is always extremely important. I will encourage my students to work on their pronunciation so that they can express themselves more naturally in the language.
I have been tutoring for over two years for a number of different organisations. I have taught over 1000 hours of private 1-1 lessons, receiving over 70 five-star reviews. I have taught students of various ages and abilities. I have taught KS3 (French and Spanish), GCSE (French and Spanish), Edexcel iGCSE (French and Spanish) Cambridge iGCSE (French and Spanish), A level (French and Spanish), University level (French). I have helped to prepare students for scholarship exams at Winchester College and Eton College. I have also taught French to a student, who was preparing to start his studies at Harrow School. I have helped a student at The London School of Economics prepare for a French oral exam and I have helped a student reading Comparative Literature at University College London. I have helped a number of students prepare for MML interviews at Oxford (French) and Cambridge (French and Spanish). I have taught adults also, including a Cambridge architecture graduate who was looking to improve his French for a project in Switzerland and a Cambridge law graduate, who was preparing for an internship in Brussels. I have taught French to adults for professional purposes also, such as teaching French to a student working in the field of international renewable energy. I have mostly taught 1:1 lessons but I was invited to teach some group courses by Tutorful and so I have experience teaching groups also.
Above all, I am here to help the student. Therefore, I will always look to ask students what they hope to gain from my sessions. This will help me to identify areas to target and also encourage my students to be self-reflective. Constant evaluation is an important part of the learning process. I will be very happy to set and mark homework. I can suggest various ways that students can develop their language skills between lessons. This is critical because language-learning does require personal diligence and is a long yet very enjoyable process. I will look to remind students of things we have covered in previous sessions so that we can both follow their progression and so that they can better retain what they have learnt. I have excellent resources that I use to teach my students.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in response to your character reference request for Daniel Whitesman. I met Daniel back in 2014, when we were studying together as undergraduate students at Cambridge University. Since then, I have begun work as an education consultant and in this capacity, I have been able to recommend Daniel’s tutoring services on numerous occasions.
Daniel has always shown himself to be extremely diligent, putting in great effort to complete a task to the highest standard. At university he stood out as a deeply thoughtful and analytical student. His own curious and probing mind provides great stimulation and topics of discussion for his tutees.
As for his character, he is thoroughly reliable, honest and trustworthy. He is punctual and well-organised and builds great rapport with his students. As a linguist, his communication skills are excellent and he is sensitive to the needs and feelings of those he interacts with.
Daniel is a keen tutor and has spoken often of how rewarding he finds teaching. Indeed, he has taught over 275 hours of lessons and has received very positive feedback. In one particular case of tutoring for my company’s online platform, Daniel significantly improved the level and confidence of a student in Spanish, so much so that she gained a place at her top choice of school.
I am sure that Daniel would continue to contribute to the success of your tutoring agency and I believe both in character and competence, he would be an asset to your company.
If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours faithfully,
Naomi Newell.Daniel has an incredible gift teaching, He is really equipped to teach languages. He is very confident, patient, and has no problem being asked again. His commitment and responsibility also made possible to let me learn more than I could imagine. It is so easy to learn with him! I feel confident speaking with native speakers.
