Personal Description:

I am offering Spanish grinds for Senior Cycle and Junior Cycle students from 1st-6th year. A language enthusiast, I am currently studying a language degree in University and I achieved a H1 grade in Spanish in the 2023 Leaving Certificate, with an efficient and steady study routine. I have learned how to approach all three aspects of language learning (Oral, Aural and written) and the individual elements of study required for each. As an undergraduate student, I have a very fresh and modern understanding of Leaving Certificate Spanish and the tips and tricks required to achieve the highest grade. With an 100% overall grade in my oral, I can assure you that I leave no stone unturned and can cover a broad range of topics and vocabulary.

Tutoring Experience:

I have spent the past 6 months offering grinds locally in my area, starting with Ty students and recently gaining students beginning their 6th year experience. I am a firm believer in consistency and offer my students a personal and specific study plan that will help them to focus on their weaknesses or personally chosen areas. I like to divide the lessons evenly between oral, aural and written classes but will happily dedicate lessons to whichever area the student requests!

Approach to Grinds:

I pay special attention to expanding students vocabulary and ensuring that they maintain a strong understanding of Spanish grammar. It's the little mistakes that often differentiate H2 and H1 students. Therefore, I draw students attention to common mistakes and help them to gain the confidence to tackle the subjunctive and broaden the topics they can discuss in their oral. Most importantly, the majority of students fall down on the Aural section of the paper. This section is not as daunting as it may appear if students become aware of the patterns and key words involved.
