Personal Description:
I am a passionate language tutor with a love for traveling, learning, and teaching languages. Originally from Spain, I grew up speaking Galician and Spanish and later became fluent in French and English through my experiences living in Switzerland, the UK, and now Melbourne. I enjoy exploring new cultures, reading, watching films, and spending time in nature—especially when I get the chance to dive. I bring this sense of adventure and curiosity into my teaching, helping students discover the beauty and practicality of languages.
Tuition Experience:
I have been working in education for several years, both in schools and with private students. Currently, I am a language assistant at a school in Melbourne, where I help with Spanish IB and French VCE, practising with them for their oral exams, as well as written. I also tutor adults at a language school and have been providing one-on-one tutoring, both online and in-person, for the past four years. This varied experience allows me to tailor my teaching to a range of age groups and learning styles, ensuring that each student gets the support they need to succeed.
Tutoring Approach:
My teaching approach is communicative, with a strong focus on speaking skills, as I believe this is often the most overlooked area in traditional school curriculums. My lessons are designed to be interactive and practical, giving students the opportunity to practice real-world conversation while reinforcing grammar and vocabulary. By focusing on speaking from the start, I help students build confidence and fluency, while also addressing the other essential language skills of reading, writing, and listening.
