I want my Spanish lessons to feel friendly, relaxed and enjoyable, while still helping you make real progress. I know that learning a language can sometimes feel intimidating, especially when it comes to speaking, so I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can practise without worrying about making mistakes.

I recently graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Master of Arts with Honours in Spanish and English Language & Linguistics. I also spent a year studying in Valencia, where I had the opportunity to use Spanish every day and experience Spanish culture and life first-hand.

Every lesson is tailored to you, whether you are starting Spanish from scratch, preparing for an exam, improving your speaking skills, or simply wanting to become more confident using the language. We can focus on whatever you find most useful, from everyday conversation and vocabulary to grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening and writing.

I like to keep lessons varied and interactive, with plenty of opportunities for you to actually use Spanish rather than simply memorising rules. If you enjoy talking, we can build lessons around conversation; if you prefer more structured learning, we can work through grammar and exercises together.

Most importantly, I want you to feel that Spanish is something you can enjoy rather than something you have to be afraid of getting wrong. My aim is to help you become more confident, comfortable and enthusiastic about using Spanish in real-life situations, while making every lesson enjoyable, practical and suited to your individual needs.
