Spanish Tutoring and History Tutoring for ages 12-18

From 16.96 £ /h

I am offering tutoring in History and looking for tutees from Primary school to upper Secondary school students and also looking for tutees for Spanish at any age range.

As bilingual British National who grew up in Madrid in an International British School: King's College Madrid, I have been speaking, listening and writing in Spanish from an early age. I have experience in being able to switch between languages effectively and I find it easy to engage in conversation in both Spanish and English. I have also had previous experience in teaching English to Spanish students for which I believe the skills are transferrable to teaching Spanish to English students. During the sessions, I would help with completing grammar exercises as well as work on conversational topics in order to provide a wider range of vocabulary to help with oral as well as written exams. I believe it is important to set exercises and tests during the sessions so I can figure out the main difficulties that the student has in writing in Spanish in order to tackle these problems and help the student. I am outgoing, patient and eager to help students build up their confidence in being able to comfortably speak a foreign language (Spanish) as well as build on their grammar and knowledge of Spanish culture.

As well as this, I have recently graduated from The University of Kent where I obtained a 1st Class Honours in my degree. The degree covered a wide range of IGCSE and A level History topics including International History between World Wars as well as American, Russian, African, Indian and Spanish history during the 20th Century. With this, the sessions will consist of providing greater knowledge to the study of History, not only focusing on learning facts, but mainly the significance behind them in leading to other events and the analytical process comparing and contrasting certain viewpoints in order to provide two sides of an argument. My teaching style, therefore, involves following exam structures and working out the key features of writing history essays, as well as setting writing exercises to prepare for exams with the short time available to write said essays. I understand the difficulties that exist for GCSE and A-Level History students and I believe my experience will help to push students to understand the main points to work on when preparing for an essay or exam.

Learn the language by speaking it from day one. I adapt to your goals, based on the conviction that language learning must be accompanied by its use. Depending on your interests, I facilitate interesting communication situations for you, through conversation or role-play activities.
If it is educational reinforcement that you are looking for, count on me to detect difficulties and get you tools that help you overcome them and improve. The ability to learn is not exclusive to a few. Don't let a difficult moment discourage you, take it as a challenge for that reason.

Regarding math, passing is fine, but the important thing is understanding the content. Throughout the entire educational stage, the content introduced must be based on a foundation: primary education. Understanding the concepts helps make sense of them.
In relation to Spanish and English, mechanizing when certain grammatical patterns should be observed to pass exams isn't bad, but that's only part of it; the important thing is understanding. We'll be able to practice reading, comprehension, and speaking in both languages.
