Mayra E Hernandez Alvarez

I am a professional translator with several years of experience and have also worked as a Spanish tutor from home, teaching both adults and children. I have also organised and delivered Spanish clubs in primary schools in England and supported Year 11 pupils in preparing for their GCSE Spanish speaking examinations, helping them develop their confidence, pronunciation, vocabulary and conversational skills. I also have a good understanding of the skills and knowledge students are expected to demonstrate in their Spanish A-level oral examinations.

Whether you are a complete beginner, an intermediate learner or looking to improve more advanced Spanish skills, I will adapt my lessons to suit you, plan lessons around your needs, goals, interests and current level, allowing you to progress at a comfortable pace. I can also incorporate real-life situations and practical conversation into lessons, making Spanish more enjoyable and useful beyond the lesson.
I am patient, approachable and committed to creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and developing their confidence.

Depending on what you want to achieve, lessons can focus on:
Speaking and conversation
Listening and comprehension
Reading
Writing
Vocabulary and grammar
Pronunciation
GCSE and A-level Spanish preparation
Building confidence
