Irene

Native Spanish qualified English and Spanish teacher with more than 20 year experience helping children, teens, adult students and professionals to develop, improve and implement their communicative and language construction skills in Spanish in an engaging and effortless atmosphere. Having taught both languages makes me aware of the specific difficulties and uphill issues, and also the similarities which so much help to identify and memorise, that students encounter whilst learning their second language. So, cheer up, sailing through Spanish is a much more amazing and easier journey than you think!

Dealing with a very heterogeneous group, in terms of age and knowledge level and succeeding in drawing them together and having them work beautifully. Although coming up against some difficult students, they very soon became absorbed by the general atmosphere and changed behavior. They built a very good relationship which enhanced and facilitated the learning process achieving good results. There’s nothing more rewarding. Preparing adapted materials before the books were available and accordingly daily lessons. Recording the progress through the systems provided by the administration and giving continuous feedback and support.
