My lessons are relaxed, engaging and tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals. I aim to make Spanish feel less like something you simply have to memorise for an exam and more like a language you can genuinely understand and use with confidence.

For GCSE and A Level students, lessons can focus on whichever areas need the most attention, including grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing. I can also help with exam technique, preparing for speaking exams and developing more natural, sophisticated Spanish for written and spoken answers.

I have been learning Spanish for 12 years and speaking it for 9 years. I lived in Chile for a year, where I taught English as a foreign language to primary-school children, and I also studied Spanish law in Spain for a semester at university. This has given me experience both using Spanish in real-life situations and explaining languages to other learners.

Most importantly, I want students feel more confident in their Spanish and catch the languages bug like I did!
