Silvia

Hola everybody!

I`m Silvia and I`m an enthusiastic qualified teacher from Spain, with five years experience of teaching Spanish across the West Midlands and online. My aim is to deliver fun, interactive and personalised lessons to help you meet your goals and increase your passion for Spanish.

Let me introduce myself, I have a BA degree in Linguistics and English Studies and a MA degree in Education which amounts to a Qualified Teacher Status in the UK. I am also qualified DELE examiner for those interested in undertaking official Spanish qualifications.

I consider myself a fun, responsible and hardworking person who does all her best to prepare dynamic and entertaining learning lessons. I take pride in striking up relationships with my students, personalising their learning whilst listening to their needs and suggestions. I employ a student-centred approach that checks how students feel regarding their own progression and offer encouragement at all times.

My classes also follow a communicative approach mainly focusing on conversational skills. They are all well-structured, delivered in a clear and concise manner and are predominantly in the target language, so to increase exposure to Spanish. Each class will try and cover all of the skills associated with learning a language i.e. listening, writing, reading and speaking through the use of activities that will prepare you for everyday scenarios.

I prepare and provide my students with activities, handouts, references, podcasts and useful resources to supplement their learning, all tailored to the students` specific goals. Homework is marked outside the lessons to maximise your time in the class.

I am looking forward to guiding you in your journey through the Spanish language :)

Experience: As a 1:1 Spanish tutor, I teach to a range of different levels from complete beginners to advanced students. I catered to my students` needs and aims whether that is; learning everyday Spanish to move abroad, travelling, passing GCSE or A levels, or studying as a hobby. Regardless of the aim, I always use my passion for languages to increase your passion too.

I also have experience teaching large groups.
