Manuela's Feedback

Manuela has been tutoring my 16 year old daughter for a number of weeks now to assist with her GCSE Spanish. Manuela is very friendly and patient and has really helped with my daughters mock exam preparations. Would definitely recommend.

Manuela is an excellent Spanish teacher. She took over the preparation for A level Spanish for my son in Year 13 and the improvement is already visible after a few sessions. Manuela is always very well prepared and sends me feedback on his progress.

My son is more confident in speaking, he is predicted an A* and we believe, with Manuela's help, he can go all the way to the exams.

Highly recommended tutor and very friendly person to deal with.

Manuela is a lovely lady with a typical happy Spanish personality. She started by asking us what we expected from the classes and how she can help us, and comes prepared with a plan for each class. She makes it interesting by including games, so it isn't just about structure of sentences and helps us to fit our experiences of Tenerife to what she is teaching. She has offered advice to my daughters on GCSE Spanish, however they are not yet ready to take the next step with this as they are already learning one language at school and we are getting close to exam time. I would definitely recommend Manuela

We have just started with Manuela. She seems very knowledgeable and experienced and so far my son is beginning to get used to the language and develop his skills. She is very experienced with GCSE level.

My daughter is making excellent progress with Manuela and is very much enjoying her learning. She is an enthusiastic and committed tutor and we are lucky to have found her.

My son has only started to have a lessons with Manuela recently. But she is always well prepared, positive and thorough. She has been very encouraging.

My daughter has recently started GCSE Spanish lessons with Manuela and very much looks forward to her weekly lesson. Manuela is a delight and communication is excellent. In just a short space of time - my daughter already feels more confident in Speaking Spanish.
Thank you Manuela, so pleased we found you!

Very clear and organised. My daughter was immediately put at ease and enjoyed learning with Manuela

Manuela is fantastic. Great humour and wit, alongside absolutely fantastic understanding of not only her native language, but English also.

Trying to teach an adult must be difficult, but to say I'm enjoying it is an absolute understatement. Super super impressed so far and look forward to continuing my journey.

Manuela is a brilliant tutor. My daughter is getting a lot of guidance and support for her GCSE’s next year. Classes with Manuela have been so worthwhile! She has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable, and always keeping it light and fun. I highly recommend her.

Based on the few lessons we had, I have the following feedback:

1. Tutor is friendly and approachable (important for children to be comfortable)
2. Tutor is well prepared and bringing external tools to assist with lessons
3. Tutor is attentive and not in a rush to meet the time deadline of one hour for the lesson. This shows the dedicated and caring nature of the tutor.
4. Tutor is passionate about the language and also about teaching it.

All in all, a pleasant surprise to find this golden tutor in a bush full of rotten ones

GCSE tutor for my 15 year old son. Manuela has assisted him with his homework and preped him for his mock oral exam to date. Manuela is flexible so my son can work on whatever topic he requires. Manuela keeps him focussed, corrects all aspects of his work and he is progressing very well. I would definately recommend her; and so would my son.

Manuela is a knowledgable tutor, who is helping my son with his preparation for GCSE Spanish exams. He finds her helpful and encouraging. She is experienced and speaks mainly in Spanish to encourage my son to understand and respond back in Spanish. I would recommend Manuela to anyone who is thinking of additional tuition to help prepare and to give them confidence.

So far lessons have been very productive we are very happy to continue

Excellent tutor who stimulates my granddaughter in all aspects of learning the language.

My daughter has switched to Spanish from another language in the last two months and since she will be taking Spanish at GCSE in a years time this will a difficult test for her. Manuela has given 3 lessons so far to my daughter, who is both enjoying and making excellent progress as the result of the tuition. She also feels very comfortable with Manuela and this is a great aid to learning. My wife and I also like Manuela, who is friendly but business like and has been very accommodating and helpful over the timing of lessons.

Mauaela is brilliant, full of enthusiasm which helped a lot in building the confedeince of approaching the Language, very patient and explains in great detail. very glad to meet such a fabulous tutor.
looking forward for the next lesson.

I am very glad to have Manuela helping me with my Spanish. She has helped me build up my confidence in all aspects of Spanish. She is very patient and explains complex ideas in great detail. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Manuela,

Thanks so much for our lesson last night. Your energy and enthusiasm, and all the materials you brought, made it really exciting and all four of us loved it!

It feels like we went through so much already, and we can't wait for next week to learn more!

See you next week :)

Many thanks
Tom

I am very happy to got Manuela is excellent tutor she know how to teach student to reach their goal.
Thanks for you all honest teaching support to my son .

Only having had one x 2 hour lesson at present,due to the holiday period… it's a bit soon to be making any in depth comments. However on her initial performance seems really lively, bubbly funny but extremely professional, had a really great introduction and both my wife and myself are looking forward to our next lesson with Manuela.

Fantastic great service fast and absolutely lovely woman look forward to future learning for my children

Manuela is brilliant! She is committed to excellence and gives 110%. She speaks mainly in Spanish which encourages the learner to also speak in Spanish and become familiar with the sound of the language. She is well prepared and willing to go the extra mile all the time. My daughter really enjoys the lessons (A level).

I am very happy with Manuela and my grandaughter feels very comfortable with her. She has a lot of patience and goes over work until it is understood. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing tuition in Spanish.

Manuela is a brilliant 1st class tutor who has worked with my daughter over the last few months. I rate her as one of the best tutors we have used over the last few years.

She is highly professional, very focused and organised; and most importantly has an astounding ability to fully engage the student IN SPANISH (only supporting with English to the level that is necessary for the students ability) – thus leaving little choice but to rise to the challenge. She must have amazing powers as I now find myself contemplating taking up Spanish.

In addition, she is very warm and wise; immediately giving comfort and confidence to the tutee.

All in all a fantastic family woman – I am really glad that we came across her profile on First Tutors.

Thank you Caroline for your hard work, I have no doubt that we shall be announcing an excellent grade to you in the summer!!! Best Wishes for always.

Debbie.
