Virginia Castel-Srivastava

Hola! I'm a fully qualified Spanish teacher from Argentina with over 20 years of experience teaching in the UK. I’ve helped students of all ages and abilities—ranging from complete beginners to those preparing for GCSEs and A-Levels—develop confidence and fluency in Spanish.

I was born in Mendoza, surrounded by beautiful mountains, where I trained to become an English teacher. Later, I moved to the UK and qualified as a Spanish teacher. I'm passionate about sharing my culture and language, which is why my lessons go beyond grammar and vocabulary. They’re about exploring the richness of the Spanish-speaking world, bringing it to life, and making the learning journey both enjoyable and meaningful. I'm also genuinely interested in learning about you—your experiences, interests, and stories—so my lessons often include natural, engaging conversations that make language learning feel personal and authentic.

Whether you want to improve your speaking, listening, reading, or writing skills, I tailor each lesson to suit your individual goals and learning style. My teaching approach combines structured learning with a fun and engaging atmosphere. I use a wide variety of resources, including textbooks, films, music, and interactive activities, to keep lessons dynamic and enjoyable.

Together, we'll build your Spanish skills step-by-step, helping you reach your next level with confidence!
