Hola Everyone,

I hope you are doing great. Thanks for your interest about learning Spanish with me. Do you want to learn Spanish at the time you are having fun? Are you passionate about my Spanish culture? Are you looking for strategies for learning Spanish in a easier way? Would you like to speak Spanish from your first class? Do you want to be fluent in Spanish? I am here to help you. I am a qualified Teacher from Spain and I have QTS in England (and registration from Scotland) a Religion Master. I completed many educational courses in order to understand my students, and because I like to work with children who have special education needs. I have a real passion for teaching Spanish and my culture to children, young people and adults, at all levels and ages. I have a vast range of personal skills such as outgoing nature, team player, good ability to communicate and positive attitude.

As a teacher native speaker I have excellent subject knowledge and I am able to teach Spanish to high level and help to develop students` knowledge and even increase their skills and abilities, inspiring, motivating and challenging them. I am a good model of teaching and learning, very creative and enthusiastic about planning my lessons and I have great organisation skills. I design and implement learning experiences that acknowledge and cater for individual learning differences and I have the ability to create a good relationship with all my students and parents. I am also a Flamenco dancer who can teach you more than my Spanish language. I can teach you about my culture, sports, dances, music, traditions, customs and festivals, food, lifestyle and places to visit in Spain. I have been travelling around Spain for many years. I have experience teaching Spanish in private lessons in Spain, Scotland and England.

Availability: I am teaching and studying part time. I can be flexible about teaching. I can teach 1 -to- 1, or small groups, learning at home or face to face.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Since qualifying as a teacher in Spain and working in this sector in Scotland and England I come to realise that my greatest wish is to teaching my own language in the UK. Firstly, I was teaching Spanish and Flamenco in primary and secondary schools in Scotland as a volunteer and doing extracurricular activities and clubs. After one and half years I returned to Oxford and I have enrolled on TSST, Return to Teaching, and CPD courses as well as having spent a large amount of time reading and researching the exam requirements for the new GCSE and A Level Exams to be able to teach and support my students in all their needs. I have working in primary schools, after school club and I have been able to work with a secondary school aged pupils with special need in a variety of school in Oxford. During that time, I was working at Endeavour Academy supporting children who have autism and gaining knowledge about ASD activities and the difficulties that these children face every day and how this spectrum has different challenges, abilities and symptoms. I also had my placement at the Modern Foreign Department at Cheney School during my Return to Teaching course. On the other hand, I have been also tutoring children and adults for more than 10 years in private lessons teaching my own Spanish language. All this experiences are helping me to feel competent and comfortable working in a new educational environment.
