Hi there I am an experienced teacher of Spanish I have just stepped away from full- time teaching to focus on tutoring, having realised my true strengths lie in my ability to get the best outcome of students on a one- to- one basis. I teach a varied class, believe in laughter being an essential ingredient of every session and the connection between student and tutor being the driver to aquiring a real grounding in the mechanics of the language and therefore the ability to create language and ensure solid progress. Every class will be prepared and tailored to each student's goals and desired outcomes.
Having lived in Madrid for 9 years and immersed myself in the Spanisb way of life after university, I believe in language acquisition through enjoyment of the cultural aspect and the connections with people, as well as the language side of things and seek to ignite your passion for that through my classes. If it' s excelling in exams you want or the ability to speak Spanish, I'm your 'man' , so to speak. Let's connect!!
