Tired of watching Spanish soap operas and not having a clue of what they say? Would you like to expand your vocabulary beyond the "vamos a bailar"?
Is it that you want to impress somebody by speaking in one of the most passionate languages?

With my classes, you will become a master of Spanish, you will learn a lot about our culture and expressions, and you will be able to think like an authentic Spanish.

My method is constant and dynamic, with plenty of activities not only to learn something new every day but also to retain it. I place special emphasis on communication and encouraging my students to take the first step in a language different from their own.


Are you ready for it?

Communication will be the most important when teaching because is the best way to learn a language is trying to speak it since the beginning. The activities will be designed and taught depending on student preferences. It will start with an introduction to Spanish and Spanish culture followed by a look at what the student wants to learn and how the lessons are going to be depending on what he is interested in.
The lessons will consist of examples from real life that the student will try to put in practice after learnt it and after that, a few activities will be great to consolidate knowledge

This class is for learning Spanish or English. I would teach you the skills you prefer to develope (oral or written skills). I focus also in the main fields of the langugage you are most interested in, as long as you need to improve a specific area. I have been teaching different ages, so I would prepare the lessons depending of your characteristics (from school homework until learning as a hobby).
Learning a language is easy when you find a teacher who will adapt your requirements!

I have 6 years' experience as a teacher of languages with the prestigious King's College London and the British Council in Egypt, Qatar and Mexico. I studied Spanish at secondary school, during my first year at the University of Cambridge and again when I lived in Mexico City. I took the DELE official diploma of Spanish as a foreign language issued on behalf of the Spanish government at the C2 (native-like) level in December 2019.

Every lesson of mine includes some vocabulary work, because it is easy to get lazy and not record the new words we hear and understand, but active vocabulary study is essential for continual growth. I encourage learners to do as many written grammar exercises as they can outside of the classroom, so that classroom time can be dedicated to valuable conversation practice. I help learners use technology to improve their memory and learn more quickly.

As one of the most spoken languages in the world, learning Spanish from an early age can allow children not just to ease into the grammar and spelling but also adapt to correct pronunciation. Being billingual from a personal experience has opened me a tremendous amount of opportunities. From hospitality jobs to work experience abroad. Learning Spanish will also aid in the learning of other languages such as French or Italian. During my IGCSE's, I achieved a Grade of A* (96%), and most of it I attribute to my already fluent level in Spanish.

Classes will follow a progressive increase in level and challenge.
My first class will be analysing their current level and how easy the student grasps the language, and from there set weekly goals for them to reach.
My priority is for them to learn as much as possible the accent and correct pronunciation of the words, followed then by learning of sentence structure.

Are you thinking of applying to Oxbridge for Life Sciences (Natural Sciences, Biology, Biomedicine)?

With acceptance rates averaging around 15%, you want to give yourself the best chance to get that offer! And this is where I come in. I hold a 1st from Oxford in Biological Sciences and have volunteered as an Admissions mentor for over three years, coaching students through the application process. We will work together to adapt the course to your needs, working flexibly to focus on the areas where you want extra support.

How can I help?
- Personal Statement Support: Writing a personal statement doesn’t have to be painful. We will create an initial outline using your experiences and interests, producing a clear message and story throughout. Then, I will provide editing support, helping you to cut words down for the strict character limits.
- Course and College Selection: Overwhelmed by the choice of courses/colleges? I can provide personal, insider knowledge into each college, helping you to make the right decision for you.
- Tutorial Prep: Using my knowledge of the tutorial system, I design personalised tutorials based on your interests, fostering your love of science and building your confidence. Self-belief is an underrated skill, and together we will work to develop your confidence to speak up, even if you think you are wrong.
- Interview Prep: The infamous Oxbridge interviews will not be as scary as they seem after our sessions. Using the self-belief and scientific analysis skills developed in our tutorial sessions, you will feel well-equipped to deal with an interview scenario. Initially, we will go through my bank of interview questions, discussing your approach and response to questions. As time goes on, we will start to practice mock interviews, 30-45 minutes of questions with feedback given afterwards.
- Admissions Test Prep: Many courses demand rigorous admissions tests, which require sound subject knowledge and lateral thinking. We will work on these together, helping you to become accustomed to the style of the questions.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Now that we live in a multicultural world it is very important to acknowledge different ways and languages to communicate. It is useful for developing on different personal levels such as, socially, professionally and intellectually.

You will learn basic understanding of the language, grammar rules to learn to construct sentences properly and colloquial speaking which is very important to understand different dialects. The point of this is to open doors to new opportunities, get involved in new cultures and have fun!

Spanish is a necessary language in many countries because not all Spanish speakers speak English. I have lived in many countries and I have learned what things you need to learn to communicate in a language that is not your own. That's what I want to teach, I want you to learn to communicate at any level.
