Information About Alejandro:

Personal Description:

I am a well experienced native Teacher of Spanish, able to teach any level or age range. I have two language teaching degrees, one of them specifically for teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I am also a very enthusiastic person and very passionate about my job.

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching since 1999 in Spain, Wales, England and Israel. I have had students from 2 to 72 years old and I have experience in Primary, Secondary (GCSE, IGCSE and A Level), Business and Higher Education (Menéndez Pelayo International University in Santander, one of the most famous Spanish Universities regarding Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language.)

My students usually get fantastic grades. This year one of my GCSE students got an award for attainment, she got full marks in her GCSE Spanish exams, top of her school.

Tutoring Approach:

Communicative approach. I try to make my students talk in Spanish as much as I can, as this is how to make the most of every lesson. The best way of learning a language is using it. To propitiate this I try to build a relaxed atmosphere where the students are not afraid of trying to use what they are learning.

I also teach the Spanish Language via our culture, by for example learning about our most famous festivals, our history or our customs. I even teach about our food....and how to make some of our most popular dishes like paella or tortilla española....by actually making them!

Some of other activities you can find in my lessons include singing, watching videos, drama, games, etc...The whole point is to make every lesson interesting and entertaining.

• 2002 Primary Teacher of English as a Foreign Language, Universidad de Cantabria
