Marķa

Hola! My name is María, I`m from Galicia, Spain, and I`m a certified Secondary MFL teacher for French and Spanish. I`ve been teaching Spanish in the UK for 4+ years.
I love teaching not just my language, but also my culture, including music, literature, films, cuisine, etc.
I build my teaching around two basic principles: that the main point of learning a language is learning to communicate and express yourself, and that you progress faster when you enjoy what you are doing. That`s why I work hard to adapt my lessons to your interests and make them work for you.
I have an open and friendly approach to lessons. I will encourage (but not force) you to speak, write and express yourself without judgement.

Availability: Available afternoons and evenings on weekdays, and weekends in the morning.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have taught all levels, from complete beginners to university students. I have a degree in Modern Languages (Spanish and English), Culture and Communication from the Autonomous University of Madrid, and a PGCE in Secondary MFL teaching for Spanish and French from Leeds Trinity University.

I have worked as a language assistant and both as a Spanish and French teacher, all in UK schools, and also as a tutor (online and in person) both in Spain and the UK, so I have a variety of methods and approaches to help with any particular need.
