Marie

¡Hola!
My name is María
I am from Teruel, Spain.

- QUALIFICATIONS:

After I finished my degree as an English Primary School Teacher, I came to UK with the British Council Language Assistants Programme.
I worked for two years in Bradford as a Spanish Language Assistant in a High School
Indeed,I finished my Master in Higher Education and Languages in May 2017. (I am a Qualified Teacher).

- EXPERIENCE:

I am currently working as a MFL teacher in a High School in Leeds since November 2017.
I have a lot of experience in GCSE and A-Levels. I have lot of resources and books that I am currently using for planning personalised lessons. I have done a lot of training courses for AQA and Edexcell exam boards. I believe, I am fully well trained and I can help you to achieve the best grades.

- MOTIVATION:

I would like to teach private lessons because I really want to help students achieve their best.
At the present moment I am able to speak different languages: Spanish as a mother tongue, English at an upper intermediate level and Italian, French and Norwegian as a beginner.
I love studying languages because as Nelson Mandela said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart”.

I consider myself a cheerful, honest and kind person but also mature and responsible. I am self confident and a hard worker, good listener and very friendly.
I love travelling around the world, explore different cultures and experience different ways of life. I have been in many countries such as: Norway, Holland, France, Portugal, Finland, Italy, Poland, Germany, etc. I always try to find the opportunity to visit the schools in the place where I go to see how the Educational System works in the different countries. I believe that we can learn and take the ideas that we like from another countries to create our own perfect education. In my view: “If education is a voyage during our life, why not discover other ways of teaching?”

For all the reasons above, I think I would be well-suited for work and help you with your Spanish and it would be wonderful if you choose me because I am very motivated and hard worker person and I always try to help my students as much as I can.

Experience: I have lot of experience in Education (more than 3 years in Spain).
From my point of view, education is very important for the development of life. As Benjamin Franklin said: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”.
I have been working in Primary and High Schools as a Spanish teacher.
Indeed, I am a Private Spanish teacher and I have been teaching lots of students. I can provide you with references from my current students.
I always try to adapt my lessons to your interests and I consider myself a professional, vocational and inspirational teacher.

Would you like to communicate fluently with people when you travel to a Spanish speaking country?

Do you think it would be great to be able to book your holidays or ask for information about local events or parties, speaking and writing in Spanish?
