GCSE Spanish Examiner | Grade 7-9 Strategy | Speaking Exam

Many of my students come to me feeling stuck, lacking confidence, or unsure how to improve their Spanish grades. My goal is to quickly change that, helping them feel capable, motivated and exam ready.

I’m a Native Spanish speaker with extensive experience teaching in some of the UK’s leading schools. I am currently Lead of Spanish, SEND Lead, and Examiner Assessor, which gives me a clear understanding of what students need both academically and emotionally to succeed.

I’ve supported learners across the full ability range, from those needing a confidence boost to high achievers aiming for Grades 7 to 9. My experience covers AQA, Edexcel and iGCSE exam boards, allowing me to tailor preparation precisely to each specification.

As SEND Lead in my current school, I am highly experienced in adapting teaching for students with additional needs, ensuring lessons remain structured, supportive and accessible.

Students I work with develop not only stronger exam skills but also genuine confidence in using Spanish. I have supported have progressed from Foundation predictions to strong passes and high GCSE grades.

Above all, I aim to create a calm, positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and enjoying their progress.

ABOUT THE LESSONS

Sessions are personalised, structured and focused on rapid progress, whether building strong foundations or aiming for Grades 7 to 9.

Lessons are lively and interactive, using real life examples, cultural topics and engaging activities to help Spanish stick.

For students preparing for exams, we work closely with past papers, mark schemes and targeted practice to close gaps and build confidence.

I am approachable and easy to talk to, and I place great importance on building trust so students feel relaxed and motivated during sessions.

Limited weekly spaces available.
