Summer 2003 Private tutor in Spanish, St Albans, UK. Tutoring the learning and improvement of a small group of students in Spanish as a foreign language.

Tutoring Approach:

Through my experience as Spanish teacher, I am very aware of the difficulties English speakers face when learning Spanish, as they usually get bored when learning the Spanish grammar. So I usually make the explanations of it as enjoyable as possible and with plenty of practice, so they can see their progress and reinforce what they have learnt. Otherwise, they would abandon the learning of Spanish.

Therefore, my approach to teaching Spanish is twofold. Firstly, I try to make the classes as enjoyable as possible when teaching grammar and secondly, I also provide plenty of different and challenging exercises/tasks, so students can reinforce what they have learnt and see their progress. Balancing these areas (explanations of grammar and practicing Spanish) is the key to have an adequate learning of Spanish and I consider that in my teaching this is achieved.
