Are you frustrated with not making the progress you want in Spanish? Do you struggle with speaking confidently or understanding native speakers? I understand how challenging it can be, and I’m here to help you overcome those obstacles and reach your language goals. With my PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages and a Master’s in Teaching and Linguistics, I’ve guided many students just like you to success.

In our first session, we’ll discuss your specific frustrations, identify your strengths and areas to improve, and create a personalized plan to help you achieve real progress. Each class is carefully structured to introduce new vocabulary, essential grammar, and useful phrases tailored to your needs.

I provide detailed feedback after every session, so you’ll know exactly what’s working and where we need to focus. With additional homework and practice exercises, you`ll reinforce your learning and feel more confident with every class.

Whether you`re aiming for fluency, preparing for exams, or simply want to communicate more effectively, I’m here to make that journey easier and more rewarding. Together, we’ll turn your frustrations into accomplishments and your goals into reality!

Experience: I am a native English speaker and CELTA-qualified teacher with extensive experience teaching both English and Spanish. I hold a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and I recently completed a Master`s in Teaching and Linguistics. Additionally, I am a degree holder in Spanish with a certificate from the Instituto Cervantes, showcasing my deep understanding of the language and its pedagogy.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various educational settings, including language academies in both Spain and the UK, as well as extensive online teaching experience. I have also served as a GCSE and A-Level examiner, which has given me invaluable insight into the examination process and what students need to succeed.

Beyond teaching, I have held roles as a Safeguarding Manager, where I ensured the safety and well-being of students in educational programmes. I have also developed learning resources, worked with academic institutions such as Queen’s University Belfast, and led workshops for trainee teachers.

With my diverse background and dedication to language education, I offer a well-rounded, professional, and personalised approach to help students achieve their goals. Whether it’s exam preparation, improving conversational skills, or mastering grammar, I am fully equipped to guide students every step of the way.
