About Me

A qualified language teacher, here to help

I'm a native Spanish speaker with a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature, a PGCE in Modern Foreign Languages from Sheffield Hallam University (specialising in Spanish and French), and a Master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).

My teaching experience ranges from beginner to advanced Spanish classes, and I've supported many GCSE students who have gone on to achieve very good results in their exams. Over the course of my career I've developed strong classroom management skills and an approach to differentiated instruction that meets each student's individual needs.

Making mistakes is part of learning a language. My aim is a lesson where you feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and building your skills step by step.
