Personal Description:
Spanish tutoring that actually works

I am a native Spanish speaker with over ten years of experience teaching Spanish to adults, young learners, and students who have struggled to learn the language despite trying multiple methods before.

Many of my students come to me frustrated. They feel that Spanish is "not for them", that they learn slowly, forget easily, or never feel confident speaking. This is exactly where my work begins.

I do not follow generic programmes or one-size-fits-all methods. Instead, I design a clear learning strategy for each student. I analyse how you have tried to learn before, identify the specific obstacles that are holding you back, and restructure your learning process step by step. This allows us to focus on what truly matters for you, without pressure and at a pace that builds confidence rather than anxiety.

My guarantee is simple: if you commit to the process, you will learn Spanish. Not because I repeat what everyone says about "adapting to your learning style", but because I work systematically on your real difficulties, using calm, structured and personalised strategies that make progress inevitable.

I work especially well with learners who:

Have tried courses, apps or tutors before without success

Feel blocked when speaking or afraid of making mistakes

Learn slowly and need clarity, patience and structure

Want real progress, not just more explanations

My experience teaching Spanish across different levels and contexts allows me to guide you with clarity, realism and confidence. Learning Spanish does not have to be stressful or confusing. With the right strategy, it becomes achievable.

If you are ready to stop trying random methods and start learning with a clear plan that works, I will be glad to help you.

Teaching Experience:
- Private Spanish Tutor, 2010 - Present
- Modern Foreign Language Coordinator and Spanish Teacher, Chiltern Way Federation 2012 - 2014
- Spanish and Italian Teacher, North Chaderton School, Manchester 2010 - 2012
- Freelance Spanish Teacher, European Language Solutions, London Uk. 2009- 2010 / St. George International, London 2006 - 2008.

Tutoring Approach:
How my Spanish tutoring works

My teaching is based on one core principle: people do not fail to learn Spanish, methods do. My role is to identify exactly where the learning breaks down and rebuild the process in a way that works for you.

These are the key elements of my approach:

1. Personalised learning strategy
Before focusing on content, I analyse how you have tried to learn Spanish before and identify the specific difficulties blocking your progress. From there, I create a clear learning strategy tailored to your needs. Each lesson is designed with a purpose, not copied from generic materials.

2. Structured and calm progression
I work at a pace that ensures real understanding. Lessons are carefully structured so that concepts are reinforced, not rushed. This is especially effective for students who feel overwhelmed, anxious or discouraged by language learning.

3. Targeted problem-solving
Rather than covering everything at once, I focus on your weakest areas first. Whether it is speaking, pronunciation, grammar or confidence, we address problems directly and systematically until progress becomes visible and measurable.

4. Cultural context that supports communication
Language cannot be separated from culture. I integrate practical cultural insights that help you understand how Spanish is really used, making communication more natural and effective.

What I can offer you

Tailored Spanish programmes
Lessons are aligned with the Common European Framework and adapted to your goals. I combine structured exercises, guided speaking practice and focused activities that develop all key skills: listening, reading, speaking, writing and pronunciation. This approach works particularly well for learners who benefit from clarity, structure and guided practice.

Focused learning modules
If you already have some knowledge of Spanish and want to improve specific areas, I offer targeted modules such as:

Conversation and fluency

Vocabulary development

Pronunciation and accent clarity

Grammar made clear and usable

Reading comprehension

Writing skills

Exam and entrance preparation

Guaranteed progress for school students
I support children and teenagers who are struggling with Spanish at school or preparing for GCSEs and A-levels. My tutoring focuses on building confidence, correcting gaps in understanding and improving academic performance. With commitment and consistency, progress is guaranteed.

Spanish for business and professional contexts
For professionals, I focus on practical communication skills for meetings, workplace interaction and professional environments. The goal is not perfect Spanish, but confident, effective communication.

Location and flexibility

Lessons can take place at your home, office or another suitable location, creating a comfortable environment that supports focused learning.

If you are willing to commit to the process, I am confident that this approach will help you finally make real progress in Spanish.

Personal Description:
I am an inspiring, qualified and experienced Spanish and French teacher. My enthusiasm and patience motivates pupils to achieve their full potential and to understand concepts they may struggle with in school. My years of experience as a classroom teacher has allowed me to try and test techniques to ensure pupils make progress from Year 7 to A-level and beyond.

Teaching Experience:
I qualified as a teacher in 2012 and I have taught French and Spanish from Year 7 to A-level in a secondary schools for four years before becoming a private tutor. Over the past decade I have taught pupils languages out of school for both GCSE and A level. Additionally, I have helped my tutees get the desired GCSE or A level result; beit a grade 4 or A grade at A level.

I ensure students fully understand the requirements for AQA and EDEXCEL exam boards for the new GCSE and A-level. I regularly assess and monitor my students' progress and set them achievable targets. I am in regular contact with students' parents so they are aware of their child's progress and targets.
Prior to qualifying as a teacher I was an English as a Foreign Language teacher for 2 years and have tutored for a year and in the summer I mark A-level exams for EDEXCEL

I ensure lessons are tailored to meet individual needs and use a range of resources in each lesson. Pupils are set targets which they work towards and I guarantee that my tutees do make progress. Lessons are engaging and cover all four skills; reading, writing, speaking and listening as well as grammar. In addition, I expect pupils to complete independent learning tasks (homework) so they can make the most of tutor contact time. My tutees benefit enormously from the one-to-one contact time and grow in confidence. Each of my lessons is structured based on the tutee's immediate needs and areas for improvement. I am also available to tutor online via Skype

Personal Description:
Are you bored about learning Spanish in a conventional way? about teachers who do not really care about your progress and interests?

I think that the best way to learn a language is making the student comfortable with dynamic and enjoyable Spanish classes. I will make a personal Spanish program for you, where I will adapt your interest (job environment, informal situations with friends...) to your Spanish level. I will prepare everything you feel could be interesting for the class.

I have always loved teaching, I have loved it since I was a teenager, whenever my classmates asked me to help them or even my sisters and I had to help them with their exercises solving the problem they had.

I am really hard working, friendly, very sociable and professional.

Lately, I have been also teaching online with IBERIS to student from different countries among the world. So, I find myself familiar with the latest technologies and programs related to the online teaching. Furthermore, I have a great interest in the international issues and different cultures. I really enjoy teaching and learning something new from my students make me feel better.

In addition, I find myself as an entrepreneur. So, I would be constantly improving the classes and working hard to personalize the classes as much as possible depending on the goals and the Spanish level of every student.

Teaching Experience:
Regarding my teaching experience, I have at least 2 years teaching Spanish in different public and private institutions around the world.

I began teaching Spanish as a volunteer in my university on 2015. I have always had a great interest in different cultures and languages. I really admire people who travel and work around the world, so in 2015-2016 I decided to teach Spanish voluntarily during the whole course (9 months) to those international people who came as an Erasmus to my University. I felt really comfortable helping them improving their Spanish while I was learning a lot from them too.

After this academic course, I made my luggage and I went to the USA for the whole summer. I was motivated and interested in the American lifestyle, so I decided to try my best three months working at Morey´s Piers as a chef while I was working as a native Spanish teacher in my second job at the Christian academy for 3 months in New Jersey.

As soon as I finished my stay in the USA, I came back to Poland where I continued my last year of university through a bilateral international agreement at the Poznan University of Medical Sciences. I was studying while I was working in 2 different institutions as a native Spanish teacher. On the one hand, I was working as a tenured Spanish native teacher at the "IBERIS online academy" for one year. On the second hand, I was working as support Spanish native teacher at the "Gniezno Institute" during the same academical year.

In conclusión, the last 2 years from 2015 I have been working as a native Spanish teacher in 4 different places, at the University in Spain, at Christian´s academy in the USA, at IBERIS online academy and Gniezno institute (Poland). And right now, I am working privately in Scotland.

Tutoring Approach:
Among the qualities a teacher should have, in my opinión would be dedication, passion, patience, and teamwork.

A teacher must dedicate a long time not only to the classes, also preparing the ideal program for the classes in order to satisfy the language needs of the student or student group.

Furthermore, a teacher must be highly passionate to motivate each student making the learning enjoyable and useful at the same time.

The patience is another important quality as each student needs their own time to understand and develop the knowledge. We are treating with people and everyone is different. It is really important to personalize the teaching in each case.

The communication among the students is as important as the proper teamwork between the professionals on the institution in order to give the best service to our students and help growing altogether the academy.

I think that the best way to learn a language is making the student comfortable with dynamic and enjoyable Spanish classes. So far, I make a personal Spanish program for my students, where I adapt their interest (job environment, informal situations with friends...) to their Spanish level. I also prepare everything they feel could be interesting for the class.

I like making the classes as enjoyable as possible in order to keep the students happy and motivated. In fact, I work with practical and useful material made by my own. So, my classes will be based on a practical Spanish according to the student's needs, I want them to feel motivated and happy. If not, I will not be satisfied at all.

The classes will focus on talking and practicing mainly, as a language is learned speaking and practicing a lot. But of course, we will have a good base of grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing and listening too.

The classes must be as efficient as possible!

Are you ready to start with useful Spanish and enjoyable classes?

Say goodbye to the boring classes and let´s start learning useful Spanish having a good time.

Let´s get started!

At GCSE level, I am fully committed to helping my students to achieve their full potential and will tutor them in each of the four skill areas of writing, speaking, reading and listening. I enjoy working one to one with students, helping them to build their confidence in the French language.

I think it is of particular importance with the new French GCSE specification to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses in terms of the four skill areas and to build on and develop those areas at every session.

Personal Description:
Learn Spanish and Film Studies with a Colombian Filmmaker!

Hello! I'm a Colombian filmmaker and a native Spanish speaker, and I'm genuinely enthusiastic about sharing my two passions with you.

In Film Studies, my background is multidisciplinary, with a specialization in post-production, animation, and sound design. I bring a practical, creative approach to lessons, showing you how technical skills like editing directly contribute to powerful storytelling.

In Spanish, I'm not just teaching grammar; I'm sharing my native language and Colombian culture. I love helping students connect with the Spanish-speaking world, offering lessons that are engaging, practical, and fun. Let's start your creative or linguistic journey together!

Teaching Experience:
Film:
I have worked as a teaching assistant for a senior lecturer at the National University of Colombia. Specifically, for the first production workshop that new students will encounter during the film and television production BA. I encouraged student to experiment with their project and to get a good foundation of critical concepts for film making associated to the audiovisual narrative.

Spanish:
I haven't taught Spanish as a second language; however, I have taught English to adults and kids as a personal tutor. I would usually identify their goals and then help them to achieve them.

Tutoring Approach:
Spanish Language & Culture (The Immersion Approach)

My goal is to get you speaking and understanding Spanish confidently in real-life situations.

Cultural Context: As a native speaker from Colombia, I go beyond textbooks. We will integrate Colombian and Latin American culture into lessons-through music, short films, current events, and relevant idioms-to make the language truly come alive.

Communicative Focus: We prioritize conversation and active listening from the very first lesson. While grammar is essential, we treat it as a tool to improve communication, not the central focus.

Personalized Pace: Lessons are tailored to your current level and personal goals (travel, school, career). We'll use a mix of structured exercises, role-playing, and casual conversation to ensure continuous progress.

Creative Practice: I use creative materials-like analyzing Spanish-language film dialogue or listening to diverse music-to make vocabulary acquisition engaging and memorable.

2. Film Studies (The Filmmaker's Practical Approach)

My Film Studies tutoring provides a hands-on, industry-informed perspective that goes beyond academic theory.

Practical Application: Leveraging my experience in production, post-production, and animation, I don't just teach what a technique is, but why a filmmaker chooses to use it. We focus on the intentionality behind creative decisions.

Post-Production Focus: My specialization in editing and sound design means we can deeply explore how the often-overlooked final stages of filmmaking enhance and define the narrative. This is a unique and valuable perspective for students.

Visual Storytelling Workshop: Lessons often involve actively analyzing clips, scene breakdowns, and even exploring technical workflows to demystify the filmmaking process.

Project Guidance: Whether you need help with academic essays, film analysis, or even guidance on your own short film project, I offer support that blends creative vision with technical understanding.
