Oxford graduate with 5 years' tutoring experience Helô! I’m Joe, a native Welsh speaker from Aberystwyth with a passion for sharing my language and culture.
I graduated from Oxford University with a degree in Japanese with Chinese. I was born and raised in Aberystwyth, west Wales.
I offer tuition to adults of all abilities, and share all the tips and tricks I have used to learn 5+ languages with my pupils. Many of my students would say this makes me a uniquely valuable tutor.
I specialize in helping adult learners crack the quirks of Welsh—whether mastering tricky pronunciations like ‘y’ or untangling grammar knots.
I have developed my own personal Welsh course, which covers all levels up to C1. All of my students have access to this course!
I have significant experience in personal tutoring and working within education more generally. I started tutoring French and Spanish at the age of 18, and have been tutoring Welsh now for over 3 years.
I have also developed a number of flashcard decks, which I will share with you.
I am particularly interested in the specific issues and pain points for adult Welsh learners and have developed exercises for many such problems. These include pronunciation of 'y', use of the linking word 'yn/'n', and memorising conjugated forms of 'gwneud', to name just a few!
