Chaia Mcquail

I am a Spanish tutor with a desire to make learning more accessible to all types of students and learning styles. I am passionate about delivering Spanish lessons with an emphasis on cultural context.

I have several years experience tutoring both children and adults, including one year teaching in a secondary school in Spain. Over the course of my degree I have tutored both adults and children.
Moreover, I recently graduated with an undergraduate degree from Oxford University in Spanish and Linguistics. Having lived in Spain for two years, I bring first-hand experience of the language and its cultural aspects, which inform how I teach and deliver information.

In terms of classes, I deliver private one-to-one lessons online, with an initial free trial lesson.
Lessons can be focused on Spanish conversation or exam preparation, as well as gaining general competency in the language by focusing on the four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening).
I am able to teach GCSE and A level Spanish and up to B2/C1 level for adults.

In addition to exam preparation materials, content will be varied and will appeal to Spanish culture in order to gain a deeper understanding and awareness of the language in context. At the same time, lessons will maintain a focus on each learner's goals to ensure consistent progress. Finally, I like to use a variety of media when teaching without relying solely on textbook-based exercises.
Overall I keep lessons relaxed, friendly and engaging to ensure a positive and supportive environment for all students.
