Alice

am a fully qualified, graduate teacher of Spanish and am a highly proficient linguist. I have a passion for Spanish and I very much enjoy having the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm to my students. I am friendly, patient and caring. I quickly develop a rapport with my students and I enjoy very good working relationships with them.
I keep my Spanish up to date by frequent visits to Spain, watching videos and reading.

Tutoring Experience

I have 21 years of teaching experience and have taught in schools, in Adult Education and as a private tutor. I have considerable experience in teaching at all levels including beginner, intermediate, GCSE and A level standard. In every case, my exam students have been very pleased with their final result. In June 2023 my GCSE exam students improved two grades from the outset to their final result, one receiving a grade 8 and the other a grade 5. My A level student who had been working at C grade level when she began language lessons with me, achieved an A grade in her A level Listening, Reading and Writing paper which we had almost exclusively been working towards and 1 mark below an A in her overall grade.
I have an enhanced certificate from the DBS.

Tutoring Approach

I am very adaptable to the needs, abilities and learning styles of individual students and have successfully taught both highly gifted, aspirational students and students who struggle with language learning. I regularly consult with my students about what they wish to cover in the lessons and I am very adept at analysing where their strengths and weaknesses are so that I can target their learning accordingly. As a result. my lesson plans are highly individualised. I make good use of a wide variety of teaching techniques and resources to make my lessons varied, stimulating and enjoyable.
