Marcela

I grew up in Colombia and therefore Spanish is my first language. Colombians like to pride themselves on speaking the most easy-to-understand Spanish in the Spanish-speaking world! I am also a graduate member of the British Psychological Society as a result of my psychology degree obtained in Colombia. I came over to England to marry my (English) husband in 2003 and obtained my PTLLS qualification six years ago. I have been teaching Spanish on a one to one basis ever since then.

We live in South Croydon with our two children aged 12 and 19 and our fox hound.

Availability: Most week day evenings and Saturday mornings

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: When I was working as a psychologist in Colombia I counselled at a school set up for the children of the police force. I held sessions with the children and their parents to discuss behavioural and adolescent issues in an educational environment. Given my background, my culture and my PTLLS qualification, I have a particular knowledge about how people learn effectively and how I can best help them to achieve their goals in learning Spanish.

I specialise in teaching Adults and students up to intermediate and GCSE level.
