Victoria Lopez

Academic & Confidence Coach who specialises in Spanish.
My sessions combine subject expertise with academic coaching. While I specialise in Spanish (GCSE and A-level), the focus is equally on confidence, motivation and effective study habits.

We begin by identifying the student’s main challenge — a difficult topic, speaking hesitation, exam anxiety, poor organisation or lack of confidence. I then structure the lesson to address both the academic content and how the student approaches learning.

Sessions include targeted explanation, guided practice with immediate feedback and supportive speaking practice. Alongside this, students learn practical strategies such as revision planning, memory techniques, time management and exam approach. The aim is not just understanding the material but knowing how to work independently between lessons.

Each session ends with clear next steps so students feel organised rather than overwhelmed.

I am a qualified secondary languages teacher and Head of MFL with experience supporting GCSE and A-level students of different abilities. Many students already have the ability to succeed but lack structure or confidence; my role is to provide both.

The goal is improved grades alongside greater independence and resilience — skills transferable beyond Spanish
