Personal Description: I am currently teaching in a junior school but have previously taught in primary (infant), FE (English as a foreign language) and in a primary school in Spain. I am dedicated to teaching and believe that every learner is an individual, with different skills and ways of learning. I love discovering new cultures and countries and have spent many years working and travelling abroad! As a Leading Teacher for Spanish, I am fortunate enough to work with teachers and pupils all over my region. I use a wide range of approaches and methods in lessons, especially when teaching 1-1, as this allows me to tailor lessons to suit the students needs. I believe learning should be productive but fun!

Tutoring Experience: I have taught across the range from age 4-11 in Spain (Primary), to 5-11 Primary as well as teaching Englaish as a foreign Language at university level to students from across the world. When teaching in Spains, I taught the Primary curriculum (maths, science, geography, literacy, PE etc) in both Spanish and English as well as teaching English as a second language. I have taught in both key Stage 1 and 2 here in the UK, and have been based at a junior school for the past four years, where I am subject leader for Spanish, Numeracy and Global Dimensions & International Studies.
I also work as a Leading teacher for Spanish within my Local Authority which includes going in and working alongisde staff at other schools, teaching pupils and teaching and upskilling teachers in thhier Spanish language skills. As part of my Global Dimensions work, I have recently spent a short time in India where I taught pupils a range of subjects from ages 6 - 12 as well as leading evening sessions in English and teaching Methodology for staff.

Tutoring Approach: I believe every learner brings their own individual skills to a lesson. As a tutor, I aim to bring out their strengths whilst building confidence, knowledge and understanding in other areas. Tutoring gives me the opprotunity to tailor each lesson specifically to meet the needs and requirements of my student, working hard but enjoying the lesson too! I am flexible and professional and will give each student 150%, using a mixture of methods, resources and approaches that best suit the student and his/her specific needs.
