My lessons are structured, engaging and tailored to each student’s level, goals and learning style. I normally begin by identifying the student’s current level and objectives, whether they need Spanish for school, GCSE preparation, travel, work, conversation, grammar improvement or personal interest.

Each lesson usually combines grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking practice, listening, reading and writing. I like to make lessons practical and interactive, so students can use Spanish actively rather than only memorising rules. Depending on the learner’s needs, I include dialogues, role-plays, exam-style exercises, translation practice, reading activities, pronunciation correction and guided conversation.

My teaching approach is patient, supportive and clear. I focus on helping students build confidence step by step, especially when speaking. I also adapt the pace of the lesson so that students feel challenged but not overwhelmed.

I have experience as a private language tutor teaching Spanish and Italian, and I also have several years of professional training experience, where I have supported learners from different backgrounds. I hold a DELE B2 qualification in Spanish and a certificate to teach Spanish to adults from Instituto Cervantes Manchester.

In addition, I have a degree obtained in the UK and a university degree from Italy, which have strengthened my academic, communication and organisational skills. My aim is to offer students professional, friendly and well-prepared lessons that lead to real progress.
