Information About Maria-Belen:


Personal Description:

I am a Spanish native speaker who has lived in England for many years. Originally a nurse she now works with young children and teaches Spanish to adults with proven success.
Having lived in Spain for 28 years she currently lives in Andover, Hampshire and has studies in "Spanish language teaching to adults (GCSLTA)".

As a native speaker she can teach you about the Spanish ways having lived in different cities and regions all over Spain. Belle has developed her own method of teaching Spanish. Focusing on real life situations rather than passing exams or focusing on grammar. She will give you the tools you need to visit and travel in Spain and other Spanish speaking countries.

Spanish is an easy language to learn. Whether you are interested in learning a few phrases for a short holiday or enough to travel through Spain, she can personalise lessons with proven successful methods customised just for you.
Perhaps you're interested in Spanish culture or you need Spanish for business reasons. There is a lesson for your requirements.

Most lessons last for one hour and can be held in your own home or in her classroom in Andover. These can be one off lessons or a course of 10 or more. Lesson times and locations are flexible within the Hampshire area. Depending on your goals and reasons for learning. Lessons will cover the agreed structure customized to achieve the best possible outcome.

Rather than focusing on exams or qualifications, lessons are designed to be fun. If you are looking for a fun way to learn how to speak with locals, order food in restaurants, go shopping, or find a place to stay then you need look no further.



Teaching Experience:

I have English teaching experience to children at their home, and to adults in a big class of 15 people. I have started teaching Spanish with success individually in the UK. I am currently looking for more students to start group lessons.



Tutoring Approach:

I have a varied approach to teaching. I have material for the lessons and you don't need to buy anything for them. I do not provide a book, but I will give you photocopies to follow the power point, or the videos. I like a varied and interactive way of teaching, based on your way of learning.
