Matthew

Hi there,

My name is Matt and I`m a native British tutor who also works as translator and interpreter, owning two businesses in this field. I have been speaking Spanish since I was 16 and have lived and worked in Valladolid, Spain, often touted as the capital of the Spanish language and home to home to Spain`s answer to Shakespeare, Cervantes. I am available for tutoring offering either Spanish to English-speaking students or English to Spanish-speaking students.

I previously worked as an English teacher with my own classes at four private languages academies; one in Spain and three in the UK.

The English I speak is from the South of England and is categorized as Received Pronunciation, which is a beneficial variety of English for foreign-language speakers to learn.

In turn, the Spanish I speak is Iberian and my accent is best characterized as being from the Castilla y León region.

I am happy to work remotely or in-person and can drive to locations in the South.

Availability: My availability is flexible and I can offer tutoring during the week and on weekends if needed.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: Spanish at C2 fluency (highest level of the European Framework for languages)
BA in Spanish - First Class Honours (University of Southampton)
MA in Translation and Interpreting - Distinction (University of Surrey)
English teacher at URBE Innovación Educativa in Valladolid, Spain (2015-2016)
