Information about Isabel

I have a real passion for teaching Spanish. I have been consistently rated `outstanding` in lesson observations by the school inspectorate OFSTED throughout my career. The secret to my success is my ability to make language learning accessible to all through my meticulous planning. I make language learning fun for all age groups.

As a native speaker of Spanish (from Spain) I can help students to sound as authentic as possible, which is particularly important for those studying at the higher levels. I do this by modelling and reinforcing the sounds and intonation of the language. My insights into cultural differences enable me to promote moral and social development through helping students to formulate and express opinions in the target language.

I am enthusiastic and have a very friendly, calm manner. I always endeavour to create a purposeful, yet relaxed learning environment where my students feel confident to speak in the target language and to challenge themselves. All mistakes are thoroughly explored and viewed positively as opportunities for learning. I invest a great deal of time and effort in the students I work with preparing sequences of carefully differentiated, motivational learning tasks that build confidence and ensure sound progression. I use authentic materials as well as realia to make speaking purposeful (role plays) and use informal assessment strategies to track progress against key learning objectives and to inform future planning. Above all, I will try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate my students´ needs and to ensure that the session time is a happy and productive one.

Availability: During term time my availability to tutor is limited to Sunday mornings and potentially some weekday evenings subject to my new school teaching timetable. During school holidays I do have more availability.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Almost fifteen years of recent teaching experience in secondary schools in England, with a number of years as a Head of Spanish and department lead. I am currently teaching at a local grammar school.

I have experience of teaching students across the age and ability range in a variety of different schools and colleges. I am extremely familiar with the GCSE and A Level specifications and have experience of working with various examining bodies.

In addition, I have experience of teaching adults both in community evening classes and as a private tutor.

I have a proven track record of helping students to achieve their full potential whilst developing a love for the Spanish language.
