Information about Barbara
I am a UK qualified teacher (QTS and Masters degree) who specialises in teaching and tutoring Spanish to A-level and French to GCSE.
English is my mother tongue but I speak Spanish fluently and French to a high level having been through the English education system - I find this makes my teaching extremely effective as I fully understand the challenges of learning a new language in the UK!
I have lived and worked in South America (Argentina and Bolivia) and always try to bring a cultural aspect into my teaching including appreciation of music, dance, food and festivals!
Availability: My availability is very flexible and I can be available both during the working day as well as after school hours, evenings and weekends.
Please just contact me and ask!
I am also open to Instant Tutoring in case you have any burning questions that pop up whilst completing homework, assignments, essays etc!
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: - 10 years` teaching Spanish and French full-time
- 6 years` Head of Spanish department, mentoring and coaching training and newly-qualified teachers
- 5 years` private tuition for both Spanish and French, face-to-face and online
- 8 years` experience as senior examiner for 2 major UK examination boards, both for A-level and GCSE.
DBS Check: Yes

Barbara is a very enthusiastic and dedicated teacher. She has been really encouraging and patient with my son since the start of the lessons. My son has developed an interest in Spanish now and the vocabulary sheets Barbara provided really helped with his school work as well.

Barbara was excellent. She connected with my daughter really well and was great at encouraging her with her pronunciation without making her feel embarrassed. Would definitely recommend!

Barbara has been excellent and built a rapport with my daughter very quickly. She is really enjoying her Spanish sessions and I am confident she will make progress. The site is not so easy to use. I find the dashboard a bit confusing.
Tutors Response :
Thanks very much for the feedback! It has been a pleasure to tutor your daughter so far and I look forward to seeing her progress throughout the rest of the A-level course.
