Information about Carlos

I am an enthusiastic teacher of Spanish, French, and English. I got my Bachelor (Honours) degree at the University of Barcelona in 2018 with a 1st/Class I in French and English. I teach Spanish and French at any level, I have spent long periods in France and currently living in the UK. Meanwhile the University period, I obtained the highest possible grade, which once validated in the UK is a 1st or Class I.

The last two years I have collaborated with the NGO "Fundació Educació Solidària" in Barcelona as a teacher of Spanish at various levels and ages, from teenagers to adults. For the same NGO, I am currently working as a translator (Spanish, English, French and Catalan). I have also worked for a self-study centre, the CMR, teaching French, Spanish and English for students trying to access the university.

I love transmitting enthusiasm for languages; to my students. My classes are predominantly focused on the communicative approach to help to lose the fear of speaking and being able to express themselves from the beginning. Grammar is essential but always from the point of view that you have to put into practice what you learn immediately. Memorise vocabulary and rules is not what is needed to learn a language, you have to learn, fix and practice so that the results can be seen from the beginning.

Availability: I am available all days of the week. I have some students that I teach mainly from Monday to, but you can ask the current availability. Since June 2019, I was tutoring at Watford, but as I came back to Barcelona to do a Master degree, I am currently teaching online via Skype. I don`t teach young students for GCSE or A-Levels but I can do exceptions, so, ask availability.

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: Mainly proud of my work in the NGO "; Fundació Educació Solidària"; helping immigrants with the risk of exclusion from society. A job that receives the most rewarding rewards because you help people who truly need. I Also collaborate with the CMR, a school that is mostly focused on obtaining the official baccalaureate degrees, the access to middle and high school, as well as the access to the university for over 25 years old. In recent years, I have helped students to access the university by giving private classes in English and French.
The last two years, I have given lessons to university students, especially in the most complicated subjects of English studies, such as phonetics I & II, descri ptive grammar I, II & III, among others. I currently work as a Spanish Language Assistant.
The academic year 2018-2019 I was working at Watford Grammar School for Boys, then, I know well the curriculum at GCSE level and also A-Level. I helped many students to improve their level in Spanish and pass the GCSE exams with good marks.

Anna (5/5): Carlos is an amazing tutor!! He`s very organized with lesson content and marking homework. The lessons are always fun and interactive with many opportunities to practise speaking, listening, reading and writing (mainly through homework). Before starting my lessons, he gave me a level test to determine my ability, then tailored the lessons around this and my progress. Excellent value for the great teaching! I`d recommend to anyone at any level!!
Reply from: Carlos: Thank you very much, Anna, for your great feedback! I am really enjoying the Spanish classes with you. You work hard, and I can see immediate results. I am confident you will improve fast your level to the next stage and soon you will master this beautiful language.
¡Muchisimas gracias!
Carlos

Tristan (5/5): Carlos has been an incredible tutor for me. He has been teaching me French for 6 months and has been a patient and committed instructor. He is always happy, ready to help and has an incredible knowledge of the language. I really cannot recommend him highly enough.

Nicholas (5/5): Like most people I was slightly nervous about taking up a new language, but thanks to Carlos`s friendly and professional approach I was soon looking forward to my weekly lessons. Carlos clearly has a passion for teaching, and is able to get you up to speed with conversational Spanish while teaching you the grammar behind the sentences you are learning.
In addition to the one on one conversations, Carlos uses various methods that include a whiteboard, listening exercises and worksheets. I would highly recommend Carlos as a tutor.

Lizzie (5/5): Carlos is such a wonderful teacher! I had classes weekly at his place and as well as being incredibly friendly his lessons were engaging and completely tailored to my level (which is somewhere between beginner and intermediate). I highly recommend Carlos - after trying a couple of tutors he was by far the best!

Madison: I met Carlos during my Erasmus in Barcelona, my level of Spanish was poor, and he taught me Spanish for a few months in many classes. The classes were excellent and enjoyable, appropriate to my degree in a very focused way, but with the flexibility to adapt to questions, additional explanations or a particular interest because of my subjects at the UB. While taking classes at the University of Barcelona, I needed to progress quickly, on the right foot. I feel that this balance was well achieved by the correct combination of explanations with examples and positive stimulus to move forward and do more when I could. The classes were always intended for oral expression, and that helped me a lot to speak fluently and also to improve quickly in oral comprehension. Just what I needed! Without these classes, I would not have been able to pass the UB`s subjects! Many thanks Carles! ¡He was a ray of sunshine!

Maria Pau: I had been lucky enough to work with Carlos for the last four years as a student/teacher partners at the University of Barcelona. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I can say he is one of the best-prepared teachers regarding languages. He never shirks responsibility and knows how to transmit knowledge, something fundamental for teaching, to students. His expertise in the Catalan, Spanish, French and English languages is impressive, so I can assure you that choosing him as your foreign language teacher will be the best decision ever.

Patricia: Carlos is an excellent teacher. He is very responsible and friendly and always plans his classes in a way that fits your individual needs. His classes are dynamic and interesting, you will always learn something new with him sometimes even without realising how much you are learning. I would recommend him to anyone!

Siân: I had the good fortune to teach Carlos English a couple of years ago. We set up an intensive programme of study, especially focussing on structure and phonetics, which he had prioritised as per his degree in Linguistics.
Carlos is the most committed, hard working student I have ever known. He has a passion and natural flair for language. His previous knowledge of linguistic systems meant that he was able to put learning from our sessions into practice immediately.
Our time together and shared love of language has meant that we have become good friends and keep each other in line with our second languages and up to date on theory. I have been delighted to watch him progress through his degree and become a teacher himself. A lesson with Carlos will be a lesson with someone who can show you the workings and beauty of his languages.

Esther: Carlos and I were working as teachers in an academy for people applying to the university. During this time, I realised his tremendous knowledge of the languages he teaches and the fantastic way he transmits his knowledge to his students.
In two years, I become so much more confident as a teacher, thanks to him. I found that Carles’ style of teaching and encouragement at every stage was conducive, and it built the confidence the students needed to speak fluently French and English.
He prepares his classes carefully and uses all-new kind of technology to take advantage of it. One of the most amazing things I saw in person, it is the amount of time he spends on his website and all the material that he goes up weekly to help his students.
His classes are highly recommended!

Adult learner, had 3 online lessons with Carlos so far. Loving them and intend to continue longer-term. I would highly recommend Carlos as a tutor.

Carlos is very friendly and teaches flexibly to suit your needs. My spanish is between levels so he gave me a detailed language test to evaluate my needs and plan lessons accordingly. Classes are fun and have a variety of educational techniques eg. Interactive exercises, including listening exercises using audio recordings or videos. Overall he teaches using immersion which I find very helpful. He has a large whiteboard and sends you files over Skype so your e-learming mimics a classroom environment.

The website has lots of useful resources and all the textbooks needed for the course.

Thank you Carlos!!
