From a young age, I have always been passionate about language learning. I grew up in Scotland to Spanish parents and realised just how valuable it is to be able to speak different languages in order to experience different cultures! I went on to study French and Italian at the University of St Andrews.

I have over 3 years of experience tutoring in both English and Spanish. Aside from being fluent in Spanish, I lived in Colombia for 2 years, where I taught English to a wide range of students of all ages and abilities. I have similarly been teaching Spanish in Glasgow for the past year.

I am CELTA-qualified and have experience in many different areas: grammar focus, exam preparation, conversational, school reinforcement, essay/academic writing. I do both online and in-person classes and have a flexible schedule.

Above all, I believe that the key to learning a language successfully is enjoying it! That`s why I like to make my classes personal to each student I teach. I like to make sure that we talk about topics they enjoy, that we focus on their areas of interest, and that we address their particular language needs.

If you`re interested in learning and/or reinforcing your Spanish or English, get in touch!
