Information about Mirkia
I am native Spanish speaker and a qualified and experienced Spanish teacher.
I offer Spanish lessons for all levels and purposes.
For GCSE, A-Level, DELE, IB, 11+, 13+ my student`s grades have been equal or above their target grades. This is because I prepare my lesson`s according to each student`s needs using a range of resources to cover all aspects of the language learning: Listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar.
For adult learners who are interested in using the language in real life situations in countries where Spanish is spoken, I adapt my teaching to cover life situations in which they will use the language abroad.
For A Level I cover all the books theater plays and movies within the curriculum: La casa de Bernarda Alba, Crónica de una muerte anunciada, Como agua para chocolate, Réquiem por un campesino español, La sombra del viento, La casa de los espíritus, Rimas, Las bicicletas son para el verano, El otro árbol de Guernica, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, El laberinto del fauno, Ocho apellidos vascos, María, llena eres de gracia, Volver, Abel, Las 13 rosas, La lengua de las mariposas and any other on the curriculum.
I offer enjoyable lessons to all levels and I offer extensive out of lesson support providing my learners with activities to do in their free time and recordings of words for them to practice their pronunciation. I also give them links to web pages to further develop their knowledge of the language.

Patient and through.

I am an adult learner, taking on the challenge of learning Spanish as I embark on building a new business in Spain. I am so lucky to have found Mirkia as my tutor. She is brilliant. She`s methodical in working through building my knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and patient in explaining things for the umpteenth time! She`s happy to work at my pace, which varies quite a bit due to my schedule. She`s also very flexible to move things around at short notice. She gives me great encouragement along the way - and very importantly she is great fun to work with! I would highly recommend Mirkia as a Spanish language tutor.

My daughter used Mirkia to help her prepare for her Spanish GCSE in Year 12. Following sessions with Mirkia, my daughter really started enjoying Spanish and her confidence with written, oral and reading skills grew very quickly. Mirkia was instrumental in my daughter getting a 9 in her Spanish GCSE exam - she is a stellar Spanish teacher and I would highly recommend her.

Absolutely brilliant!! Could not recommend anyone more highly. In January 2020 I received a C in my mock exams, my 2020 TAG was a B. Today, with all of Mirkia`s help and guidance, I just received an A* in my Spanish A level. She is incredibly patient and is amazing at boosting your confidence when doing exercises and speaking the language. As an independent candidate, I found her extremely helpful with providing resources, assisting with past papers and speaking cards. Amazing!! Thanks so much!
Tutors Response :
Thank you Ellen. A pleasure to work with you. All the best to you! Thank you!

My daughter has had 3 lessons with Mirkia - one being on `skype` due to the `stay home` regulations In just those 3 lessons my daughter`s confidence & understanding has come on leaps & bounds, and she really looks forward to the next lesson which will carry on over `Skype` until she can come here again Before coming for the first time, Mirkia contacted us to get the relevant `Exam Board` & books, films etc that my daughter was currently studying at `A` level so that she would be prepared for the lesson I would definitely recommend Mirkia

Since we have been using Mirkia for Spanish tutoring Georgia has gone from a D student to an A student. So would we recommend her, absolutely yes!! We shall be very sad when Georgia`s tutoring ends after her exams. Mirkia is always on time for the lessons and if there are any issues she will communicate this well in advance. Thank you for your time and patience in improving Georgia`s grades and for giving her back her passion for Spanish again!!

Hi Charlotte, thank you so much for your feedback. I am so glad I can help.
