Maria

I am an enthusiastic tutor looking to teach Spanish and Italian.

I graduated as a teacher in Spain, and also have a qualified teacher (QTS) in England. I also have a Master`s in Applied Linguistics, which I have used to pursue a career in teaching languages. I received this qualification from one of the best universities in Europe within this specialisation.

I`m proud of my prior experiences. I`ve been able to teach Spanish in different European countries (Poland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) and two high standing schools in England.

I understand that every student learns differently. I adapt my teaching methods and course structure to the needs of the student to help them achieve their personal goals. I am more than happy to teach children and adults of all ages and levels.

My lessons are stimulating, fun and I try to create a friendly atmosphere which I believe returns the best results. I`m passionate about teaching the language and my own culture. As I am a native, you will learn the finer nuances of the Spanish language.

I can structure my courses for either one-off 1-hour lessons or a full 10-hour course.

There are many benefits to picking up a new language which can set you up for the future. Your goals could be for academic, business purposes, or you might wish to relocate to a Spanish speaking country.

Regardless of your reasons, I will help you on your journey.

In my lessons, I teach:

• Writing, listening, speaking, grammar and reading skills
• Extra vocabulary
• Learning materials
• Games for children
