Eigra

Hi! I’m Eigra! I’m a second-year student at Jesus College, University of Oxford, studying French.

At A-Level, I took German, French and Welsh, as well as completing an Extended Qualification Project. I am a native German speaker and speak the language at home with my mother.  

Having been tutored myself during GCSEs and A-Levels, I appreciate the role of a tutor in fostering and mentoring students to develop their full potential. It is truly rewarding to see the transformations in the students’ studies, from being unsure of a certain aspect in their course to feeling confident in their ability to engage in that area of study.

When it comes to tutoring languages, it is highly important to develop a well-rounded knowledge of all its characteristics, which are speaking, reading, listening, and writing. This ensures effective communication in the target language. I firmly believe that this can be achieved through a personalised approach, understanding the specific needs, and learning style of the student.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy learning new languages as well as running and cooking!
