About Kiana
"Intermediate learners often assume that fluency is merely about vocabulary size, yet true command rests upon the subtle nuances of rhythm and sound. I spent 5 years refining these precise linguistic requirements while serving as a secondary school department head. My academic foundation consists of a Bachelor of Arts in French and Spanish from the University of Oxford, followed by a formal PGCE qualification.
These credentials allow me to navigate AQA, Edexcel, and OCR requirements with absolute clarity. Many students struggle to bridge the gap between textbook exercises and authentic dialogue, which is where my specific expertise proves most useful. I have guided countless pupils through the complexities of MML admissions, ensuring they enter university interviews with genuine confidence. You might find my approach somewhat rigorous, but the methodology is proven to produce lasting clarity.
When not tutoring, I enjoy maintaining my own fluency through literature, which keeps my connection to these languages vital. Please consider a free trial lesson to assess your level so we can determine the exact path forward."

"Clarity during instruction requires a direct focus on your personal linguistic goals rather than generic exercises. You will find that my lessons prioritise oral precision alongside the structural rigour demanded by current exam boards.
We navigate through verb conjugation, reading comprehension, and complex writing skills by breaking them into manageable, logical stages. This systematic framework reflects my 5 years of experience in the classroom, ensuring that no grammatical concept remains obscured.
Whether we are focusing on travel French or the specific demands of DELF, the objective remains centred on your functional progress. Role play and dialogue practice form the cornerstone of our sessions, pushing you toward natural, unforced speech patterns. By integrating vocabulary building with consistent tonal correction, we refine your output until it feels entirely intuitive.
The structure is designed to be demanding, yet the pace remains responsive to your individual speed of acquisition. You are welcome to suggest specific topics, and we will incorporate them into our technical routine."
