My previous law background, International Relations, and Master of International Economic Law provides me with the expertise to help, and guide further particularly A level students. Have been teaching GCSE and IGCSE for 25 years, being an Examiner helps me to know with precision what my students need to learn with view to achieve good grades in their exams.
Having dynamism, warmth, dedication and commitment make me an ideal teacher/tutor who strives to inspire students to be motivated learners as well as to achieve excellent results in Spanish. My passion for the language and culture as well as to see young people thrive and achieve their full potential helps greatly.
The majority of my tutees have over the years achieved A*/A on their A levels, and 9/8 on their GCSE (from 2017 to 2025). So far, my GCSE/IGCSE students have been able to achieve 2/3 grades above their predicted grades and at A level normally two grades above.

Tutoring experience

For sixteen years I taught in a wide range of schools, independent and state, as well as at higher education level, including at Warwick University. I have been Head of Spanish and as mentioned above I have an excellent knowledge of a range of exam boards.
My teaching is student-centred, aimed to meet the needs of each individual learner, and uses techniques that work and achieve results. I vary my activities in order to suit a variety of learning needs and styles.
For the last nine years I am dedicated to private tuition as well as being an Examiner. I am really glad to say that most of my students have achieved successful results in both their GCSE and A level exams.
I am delighted to say that my last cohort of GCSE students achieved 9 most of them, a couple got 7s. In A level, two students achieved A*s. One of the mother’s said: “I just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know that xxxx got an A* in his Spanish A Level!. We are all so pleased! Thank you so much for the vital part you have played in this- you have been amazing! Thank you again so much! You are a fabulous teacher!

Tutoring_approach

My students considered me a nurturing, dedicated tutor who meets the individual learning needs of each student.
Firstly, my approach is to assess the student's level, and to establish clearly what they want to accomplish, and what is required to achieve their aims, they desired grade. Only then I proceed to start working with the student to fill gaps in their knowledge, improve areas of weakness and stretch them to achieve their full potential. Needless to say, that each lesson is lesson tailor- made to the individual needs of the student.
