(2 reviews)

Personal Description:

I was born in Medellin Colombia where I trained and qualified as an Architect. My love of languages drew me to England to learn English and I attended 4 years part time study at a language school in Bournemouth. In 2006 I proudly became a British Citizen and hold dual nationality.

Teaching Experience:

I moved to Kingsbridge, South Devon to become a part time Primary School teacher of Spanish and I was an assistant teacher of Spanish at the Kingsbridge Community College, for 10 years, teaching students from year 10 to year 13 and held a special responsibility for the A level Spanish speaking examinations.

I am passionate about my teaching and I have inspired many of the students to travel to South America. Some students have travelled to Spain to complete language degrees and some are now working in South America and Spain.

I have completed many enjoyable hours tutoring adults on a one to one basis over the past 10 years to all levels. My latest mature student has just completed his first GCSE in Spanish at the age of 60 and attained a grade 'A' pass.

Teaching Approach:

Learning Spanish above all should be a fun and enjoyable experience
I am pleased to be able to offer my skills and experience, privately to students and adults of all ages and abilities. The courses range from holiday speaking assistance through to examination qualification courses including written, listening and speaking.
All courses are both fun and informative.
As I teach on a 1 to 1 basis I like to adapt my courses to suit individual needs and abilities and work at the pace you demand, delivering the results that you need. All courses do include the correct use of grammar as this is very important in Spanish.
