TUTORING APPROACH

My method is easy, direct, creative and fast focused on conversation, daily-life dialogues, vocabulary and grammar-( how to create sentences to be able to speak properly with confidence in a short time)

(Speaking, listening, comprehension ,repetition, reading and translation).

Every language is logic and as babies, the mechanism is to repeat sentences to understand them and memorize them .

We can start speaking quick and without mistakes, once we understand the structure of the sentence: -verb tenses, how to create sentences, vocabulary, in writing and speaking , oral, listening and repetition-, in a funny way so the students ,enjoy learning the language and at the same time they learn it faster.

I also help students to build their confidence and self-steem to reach their goals.

Professional service, good results at competitive rates.

If you are looking for a Spanish tutor, we highly recommend Ananda. Under her guidance, my daughter got an A* in Spanish AQA A-Level. She has an unwavering commitment to her students. She went above and beyond, providing additional resources, practice materials, and personalised feedback outside of their scheduled sessions. My daughter enjoyed her lessons with Ananda and we are delighted to have found a superb tutor.

My wife and I have been learning Spanish for several months with Ananda and the results have been impressive. I can't believe that! She is so professional and good teacher. She helped us to prepare our trips to Spain and South America. Last summer we travelled to Spain with confidence and happiness. I am confident in my Spanish and I can communicate very easily.

Thanks Ananda for your teaching and support!

Testimonial 6

Ananda has tutored my son Myles for the past 2 years ahead of his IGCSE EDexcel exam in June 2023. Spanish was by far his weakest subject as school and he was struggling with motivation. He has a diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Ananda has consistently encouraged Myles, working alongside him at his pace and has given him a very thorough understanding of the language which he is now able to use with confidence. Her support has been invaluable, she has consistently been available for all the lessons and very flexible with any impromptu rescheduling. She has offered additional lessons in preparation ahead of specific exams such as the aural or listening papers. Today Myles has received a high Grade 8 in his exam, missing out on a 9 by only 1 mark. This seemed absolutely inconceivable at this point last year. Huge big thank you to Ananda - I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Testimonial 7

After my first year at Durham university receiving a 2:1 I wanted to improve my Spanish for second year and found Ananda.I cannot recommend her services enough! She personalised the lessons to my specific needs, particularly focusing on oral practice which I found the most challenging (scoring 66% in my first year). She not only improved my level of Spanish, but also increased my confidence with the language. Thanks to all her help and expertise I got a 1st in Spanish, scoring 74% in the oral exam and 75% in the written paper!

Ananda helped me to prepare for an interview for a job in Buenos Aires, after I had not spoken Spanish for about three years. She was helpful, thorough and really careful to tailor the session to my individual needs and to the job. We prepared for all kinds of questions they might ask and all areas I might need to be capable of discussing. I felt confident going into the interview and I got the job! She is a fantastic Spanish tutor and definitely could not have done it without her. Thanks!!

REFERENCE LETTER 1

Dear sir/madam,

Ananda has taught two of my daughters and she is an outstanding teacher. She helped my eldest daughter achieve an A* in her Edexcel GCSE Spanish independently, as a private candidate and hopefully will do the same with my middle daughter.

She has a lovely approach - very friendly, is easy to relate to and is thorough in her teaching. My middle daughter has already sat her IGCSE Spanish oral exam and said she felt very prepared by Ananda.

I have asked Ananda to tutor me to A level and also my youngest daughter in a year.

Without doubt I would recommend Ananda to any one wanting to get good results and having fun in the process.

Kind regards,

Sarah

REFERENCE LETTER 2

Dear sir/madam,

Ananda is nothing but a super tutor. Thanks to her guidance, I achieved 118/120 in my AQA A-level Spanish speaking exam and an overall A*. She was extremely thorough and rigorous in her methods, making sure I practiced my IRP every single day and providing clear strategies for structuring essays that when I got to the real exam, it felt natural. What made the biggest difference was how she tailored everything to my needs, personalising the lessons so I could improve quickly and with confidence. Her support gave me both the skills and the self-belief to succeed and I could attend UCL university.

I can honestly say I would not have reached this result without her. If you want the very best results, choose Ananda.

REFERENCE LETTER 3

Dear sir/madam,

Ananda taught my daughter Spanish for her A-levels. My daughter started her A-levels with grade D and finished it with grade A*. I think this says it all about Ananda's ability as a teacher to support her students and push them to achieve their potential.

Ananda is a very dedicated Spanish teacher to her students, explaining things in great depth and in a simple way which is easy to understand. She provides very useful resources and creates exercises which will help you improve your fluency.As well as being a great teacher, she will also endlessly support you through your journey, being a constant positive guide. She is very dedicated and works so hard for her students. She helped my daughter to improve her Spanish enormously to the extend that her school teacher was referencing her as an exemplar student. Ananda also helped to boost my daughter’s confidence and self-belief. I highly recommend Ananda and we will definitely miss her.

Best wishes,

May

REFERENCE LETTER 4

Dear Sir/Madam,

Ananda has been tutoring my 15 year old daughter in AQUA GCSE Spanish and got the highest grade A* (9). My daughter is very proud and all the family really glad and grateful to Ananda. She is professional, flexible, creative and very pleasant. My daughter was looking forward to her lessons every week. Ananda has taken the time to find out my daughter’s interests and helped Annie to learn real Spanish language.. She has also taken time to talk to me as the parent to find out my goals for my daughter. I would recommend Ananda as a Spanish tutor to everyone!

Kind regards

REFERENCE LETTER 6

To whom it may concern,

We have worked with Ananda on a couple of occasions for 2 years and found her service to be very efficient. She understands the exam board requirements and works with our students to help them achieve the best results at both IGCSE A Level. and IB Spanish.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

    We have just started with Amanda for our daughters A Level Spanish - it’s going great! She’s very clear and focused on securing grammar foundations, exactly what we are looking for.

    Many thanks Virginia for your feedback. Always trying to help my students to get the best grades in A Level Spanish. I really appreciate it.

    As someone who had never studied Spanish and was learning as a mature student, I was nervous about starting to learn. Ananda put me at ease and her approach got me talking immediately as well as learning grammar. I have found Ananda to be very friendly, showed attention to detail and her added cultural insights were very interesting to me. I would thoroughly recommend her.

    Ananda G. replied

    Many thanks Martin. I really appreciate it. It is my pleasure to help you with your Spanish.

    Ananda is a conscientious Spanish teacher. She knows her onions. She masters the skills of how to handle each child according to need. Charles who is autistic progressed from 36% in the mid-term exam when she was not teaching him; to 76% in the end of session exam when she stated teaching him. It is amazing that Charles is keen about learning Spanish . He is continuing this long holiday ; thanks be to God it is online . We are grateful to Ananda. God bless you.

    Thank you so much Julie for your kind words and feedback, I really appreciate it. I am happy that Charles is improving his Spanish and enjoying it. It is a pleasure to help him.x

  • Barbara

    Apr 2021 ·imported from First Tutors

    My son has been having a weekly lesson with Ananda for a few weeks now. The change is significant. He has gone from disliking Spanish to now being very motivated to learn it. He really enjoys his lessons with Ananda and says he has learned more in her lessons over the last few weeks than he has in 2 years at school. He has even asked me for a second lesson -- he tells me she makes the lessons very engaging and makes spanish easy to learn - based on his experience I would strongly recommend Ananda as a tutor.

    Ananda G. replied

    Many thanks Barbara, I really appreciate it.x

    Apr 2020 ·imported from First Tutors

    Ananda is an extremely “effective a likeable tutor and created a good friendship” with my child. Has my child says “Ananda has given her the opportunity to continuously converse with her school Spanish teacher, asking the teacher questions and providing her with lengthy answers. Instead of school Spanish which you barely understand, answers are short, and the entire sentence is broken. She can converse with a Spanish person using different tenses and her expanded vocabulary. The honour was when she was able to fully converse with a Spanish visitor at the school conference, receiving great comments from the individual and her teacher being surprised”. My child reading and writing had also improved, where she has even asked me to purchase for her a Spanish novel (Don Quixote). Ananda technique is to take you back to the foundation for you to master, so that progression is easier and more understood. Honesty is the forefront of Ananda teaching, and our daughter had drastically improved from a 4 in the 8 months, and I am sure that she would have received that grade 7 Ananda had predicted, because she was not that far away from her target grade in the mocks. Therefore, we highly recommend that you choose Ananda for these reasons. Our child has chosen not to do languages for A levels but has requested that she stays with Ananda for the foreseeable future, so that she can continue indulging herself and eventually being a competent Spanish speaker.

    I can thoroughly recommend Ananda as a language teacher. She has done a superb job with our 11-year-old daughter Amber. Ananda was very patient with her and kept her lessons interesting with Amber having a short attention span, it was sometimes not easy.
