Hi! I’m a 19-year-old Spanish tutor with a passion for helping students achieve their best GCSE results. I achieved Grade 9 with full marks in GCSE Spanish and have continued studying the language to C1 level, giving me a strong understanding of both the GCSE specification and advanced Spanish.

I also have experience helping Year 10 students prepare for their GCSE Spanish speaking exams, as well as supporting them with classwork throughout the year. This has given me valuable experience explaining grammar, building vocabulary and helping students gain confidence in speaking Spanish.

Every student learns differently, so in our first lesson I’ll assess your current level, identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and tailor each lesson to your individual needs and goals. Whether you’re aiming to improve your confidence, boost your predicted grade or achieve a Grade 9, I’ll make sure our sessions focus on the areas that will have the biggest impact.

My lessons are friendly, patient and well-structured. We’ll cover all four GCSE skills—listening, reading, writing and speaking—using exam-style questions, vocabulary practice, grammar explanations and regular feedback. I’ll also share the revision techniques and exam strategies that helped me achieve full marks.

Having completed GCSE Spanish myself relatively recently, I understand exactly what examiners are looking for and the challenges students face. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and building the confidence they need to succeed.
