Spanish conversation for lovers of Spanish culture
From 41 £ /h
¡Hola!
I grew up in a multi-cultural artistic environment and am completely trilingual (Spanish, Catalan, English) with clear, neutral accents in all three.
I'm passionate about teaching, languages and communication. I have a BA Hons degree in Spanish and Drama from the University of London, a PTTLS Level 4 Teacher Training (City & Guilds of London) and a TEFL certification. I'm also an experienced translator and interpreter. I have taught at the University of South Essex for four years, and have over a decade of teaching experience, always crafting each session carefully according to the individual student's needs and objectives.
Sessions with me are fun and you'll make fast progress! This class is for Intermediate and Advanced students to practice their skills with a native speaker. You will also learn about Spanish culture, history and music.

About Me
¡Hola!
Are you passionate about the Spanish language and culture? Do you want to build upon your existing knowledge and see fast progress?
If so, I can help you! My name is Natalia and I grew up in a multi-cultural artistic environment. I am completely trilingual (Spanish, Catalan, English) with clear, neutral accents in all three. I'm passionate about teaching, languages and communication. I have lived in Madrid, Barcelona, Bristol, Oxford, Mallorca, Essex and London and have travelled extensively.
I really enjoy working with students who are open to learning and widening their horizons; becoming their accomplice and helping them set and reach realistic - yet outrageous - goals. I always include some essential grammar in my sessions, but we will learn through stories, sayings, songs, history... I love crafting each session carefully according to the individual student's needs and objectives, and nothing will give me more pleasure than seeing you progress and smash any self-imposed limitations! My parallel career as a voiceover artist means I'm obsessed with good diction and pronunciation, and I can really help you sound close to native.
Sessions with me are fun and you'll make fast progress. You will also learn about Spanish culture, history and music.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, get in touch!
