Information About Javier:

Personal Description:

I'm Javier, a native speaker of Spanish from Malaga (Spain), based in Thirsk (Yorkshire).

At the moment I am teacher assistant in Cundall Manor School and Carlton Miniott School.

Tutor of Spanish. I'm actually tutoring Spanish to adults. One-to-one, groups or online lesson developed with Skype. All levels.

Tutoring Approach:

I am friendly, patient and tailor my lessons to individual needs because I understand that every student is unique. My aim is to build confidence in speaking and using languages by using a variety of materials and making learning fun. I regularly use games to practice or reinforce vocabulary and grammatical structures. Depending on the student, the lesson can be more structured or more relaxed but I always want to try and make them enjoyable! I felt that this approach got a great response from my private students in the past. At the end of the day, I want the student to be happy!

I am familiar with all the last books of Spanish, like ´´Mira 1,2,3´´, ´´Viva´´, or ´´Studio´´

I love new technologies, I like giving them resources as ´´linguascope´´ which they can use to play and practice contents in their free time ; they can put into practice what we have learned in our lesson.
