Personal Description:
Native Spanish Teacher | DELE Examiner | Spanish Conversation & DELE/SIELE Preparation | 20+ Years Experience

Hi! My name is Bea, and I am a native Spanish teacher from Toledo, a historic city in central Spain near Madrid with more than 20 years of experience teaching Spanish conversation and DELE/SIELE exam preparation to international students. I speak with a clear and neutral Spanish accent.

I am a certified DELE examiner accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, and I have extensive experience preparing students for official Spanish exams such as DELE and SIELE (levels A1-C2).

I specialize in helping students improve their confidence and fluency through practical and personalized lessons adapted to their goals-whether for exams, travel, work, or personal interest.

Specializations:

1. Spanish Conversation

- Improve fluency and confidence

- Real-life conversation topics

- Pronunciation and natural expressions

- Vocabulary for travel, daily life and professional situations

2. DELE & SIELE Exam Preparation

- Official exam structure training

- Speaking and writing strategies

- Mock exams with feedback

- Personalized study plan based on your level

As an examiner accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, I help students understand how the exam works and how to improve their performance effectively.

Teaching Experience:
I have more than 20 years of experience giving private Spanish lessons to both children and adults.

I lived in the UK for seven years, where I taught:

- Spanish as a first language to Spanish students living abroad who needed to maintain and improve their mother tongue.
- Spanish as a second language to international students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

This experience helped me understand different learning styles and adapt my teaching methods to each student.

Currently, I teach Spanish online to:

- School-age students

- Adults learning Spanish for travel or professional purposes

- Students preparing for official exams (DELE, SIELE, GCSE, and A-Level)

In my lessons, we not only learn the language but also explore Spanish culture through real-life situations such as traveling, food, daily communication, and practical conversation.

Tutoring Approach:
My lessons are fully personalized according to your goals, level, interests, and objectives.

I use a communicative and dynamic approach that combines:

- Conversation practice

- Practical grammar

- Listening activities (videos, podcasts, songs)

- Role-plays for real-life situations

- Exam preparation strategies

I do not follow a single textbook. Instead, I use a wide range of materials (if needed) that I have developed throughout my teaching career.

I prepare structured lessons to help students:

- Reach a specific CEFR level

- Improve fluency and confidence

- Prepare for official exams

- Learn Spanish for travel or everyday communication


I offer both:

- Long-term courses (steady progress at your own pace)

- Intensive courses (fast preparation for exams or specific goals)

- All students receive personalized materials and feedback after each lesson.


I work with shared online documents where students can:

- Access lesson materials

- Complete activities

- Write notes

- Ask questions between lessons

This allows continuous learning and progress tracking.


Book a trial lesson and start speaking Spanish from day one!

Trial Lesson

During the trial lesson, I will:

- Evaluate your current Spanish level

- Practice conversation adapted to your level

- Identify your strengths and areas to improve

- Recommend a personalized study plan based on your goals

This will help you clearly understand how we can improve your Spanish step by step.

Personal Description:
For me, languages are a vital component of a rounded education. I have always loved to travel and being able to communicate with people in different countries in their own language has always thrilled me. Teaching languages allows me to help others to enjoy their language learning, too.

I am a mum of 2 primary-aged children. We love visiting parks, going for a walk, swimming, scooting and playing. We also love making things, painting, and they love to help me with my little craft projects.
I am based in Herefordshire, and we have lived here for 13 years. We love the outdoor lifestyle and the peace and quiet.

Teaching Experience:
Before becoming a private tutor 5 years ago, I had taught in secondary schools for more than 20 years. During my teaching career, I have been a classroom teacher, a Head of Department, an Advanced Skill Teacher and an Assistant Headteacher. My favourite role remains that of teacher, helping and supporting young people to understand languages and, I hope, enjoy them.

Currently, I work as a private tutor, teaching 1:1 lessons to GCSE and A level students. I also have adult learners, who are complete beginners, and I run a Spanish club at my children's primary school.

Tutoring Approach:
A private tutor can play a hugely important part in building confidence and self-belief for students. It is my job, not only to support them to make progress, but also to help them to feel comfortable and confident with their work.

Every student will have different strengths and areas for support, and I prepare individual lessons for each student that I teach, ensuring that they are interesting and engaging, and that they help them to progress. Also, students will often have areas which they would like to improve. I will take account of these in the preparation of my lessons.

Personal Description:
Hello! My name is Rochelle, and I am a fully qualified languages teacher with over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience.

I hold a PGCE in Modern Languages with Distinction from the University of Oxford and a First-Class Honours degree in French and Spanish from Queen's University Belfast. I also have a Master of Research (Distinction) in Arts and Humanities, with a focus on Spanish studies.

I currently teach French and Spanish at a comprehensive secondary school in Oxfordshire and offer private tuition in both languages to learners of all ages and levels. I am passionate about languages, culture, and helping others to feel confident in their language journey.

Teaching Experience:
I have extensive experience of teaching languages to students of all ages and levels, and I've developed my own language skills through living and working abroad. I spent two years in Spain as an English Language Assistant, working with students aged 3-18, during which I also earned a beginner's qualification in Galician. This was followed by a year teaching English at South Colombian University in Neiva, Colombia. I've also spent time in France as an au pair, where I supported children's English language development in a family setting.

Over the years, I've helped a wide variety of learners, from complete beginners to advanced students preparing for high-stakes exams. I'm familiar with a variety of exam boards (Edexcel, AQA, CCEA, Cambridge International) and qualifications (GCSEs, A Levels, DELF / DELE), and I've also supported students aiming for academic scholarships.

Furthermore, I am highly experienced in supporting students with additional needs. I volunteered for five years at Barnardo's Saturday Club, working with children aged 5-11 with SEND. While in Spain, I supported weekly English classes for adults with SEND and helped prepare them for the Trinity College English exams. During my PGCE, I completed a placement at a school specialising in SEND, and I continue to tutor and teach students with a range of learning and physical needs.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach is always student-centred and tailored. I take the time to understand what each learner needs and wants to achieve, then work with them to create a clear, personalised learning plan. I believe that motivation and self-belief are just as important as grammar and vocabulary, which is why I also draw on research I carried out during my PGCE into self-efficacy and motivation in language learning.

All lessons are taught online, and each student receives their own personalised Drive folder for shared resources, notes, and homework. I use a wide range of digital tools to make lessons engaging and interactive.

I am patient, positive and perseverant and genuinely love sharing my passion for languages with others.
