My Spanish lessons are designed to be interactive, structured, and tailored to the needs of each student. I like to combine different teaching methods to keep lessons dynamic and engaging. One of the key tools I use is PowerPoint presentations. These allow me to clearly explain grammar rules, provide visual aids for vocabulary, and organize cultural content in a way that is easy to follow. PowerPoints also help create a clear lesson structure so students always know what we are focusing on.

Alongside this, I place a strong emphasis on speaking practice. I believe that actively using Spanish in conversation is the best way to build confidence and fluency. In lessons, I encourage students to speak as much as possible, whether through role-play activities, guided dialogues, or open discussions on topics that interest them. This creates a supportive environment where mistakes are treated as opportunities to learn, helping students become more comfortable with spontaneous communication.

Another important part of my teaching is working with exam material. For students preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, or other qualifications, I use past papers, practice exercises, and targeted exam strategies. This not only develops essential reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, but also builds confidence in tackling different types of exam questions.
