Hello, I specialise in tutoring for the 11+,13+ and SATs. I passed all exams and now I am in a top-achieving grammar school. I can help tell you what to look for and what not to. My goal is to keep students challenged but not overwhelmed, I believe that my lessons are fun but challenging. On the first week, we will be starting with Non-Verbal Reasoning and in the second lesson, we will do a recap. We will be doing that series for at least 5 weeks, and we will do a recap exam of all the Non-Verbal learnt to see how much you have learnt. We will do the same for Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning.

Hola! I’m a native Spanish speaker and an engineering intern from Spain currently living in Maidstone. I’m offering practical Spanish lessons to help you improve your conversation skills and gain confidence in real-life situations.

My approach focuses on complementing your existing studies or offering informal, hands-on learning experiences. Since I don’t provide extensive study materials, these lessons are ideal for those looking for natural, conversational practice and guidance from a native speaker.

As a young professional giving lessons to support myself during my internship, I bring enthusiasm, patience, and cultural insights to every session. Whether you’re preparing for a trip, brushing up on your skills, or just curious about Spanish, I’d be happy to help!
