Asha

I am a qualified Secondary School Spanish teacher with a First-Class Honours degree in Italian and Hispanic Studies. I have experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages and levels, specialising in making language learning both enjoyable and accessible. Having achieved an A in A-Level Spanish and an A* in GCSE Spanish, I am well-equipped to guide students through effective exam preparation, ensuring they feel fully prepared and confident.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught Spanish to secondary school students aged 11-18 in various educational settings and have lectured at the university level in both Spanish and Italian. These experiences have furthered my ability to break down complex language concepts for learners of all levels. As a tutor, I have focused on building students' confidence in speaking Spanish while improving their grammar and writing skills. I have consistently helped students achieve tangible improvements in their language abilities and reach their target grades. With direct experience of the AQA exam board, I have also tutored students following the Edexcel and Eduqas exam systems

Tutoring Approach

Lessons will be tailored to suit your individual learning preferences and areas of concern. I adopt a student-centered approach, allowing you to decide which areas you'd like to focus on in the upcoming lesson. I then gather the relevant materials and resources that will best support your specific needs, whether that’s conversation practice, grammar rules, or exam techniques.

I strive to make each lesson fun and interactive, fostering a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Constructive feedback will always be provided in a positive and encouraging manner. To keep things engaging, we'll incorporate a variety of resources such as worksheets, YouTube videos, and quizzes. Grammar explanations will be clear and straightforward, minimising confusion and ensuring you grasp key concepts.

For students preparing for exams, I will tailor our lessons to align with your specific exam specification. For general learners, we can focus on any topic of interest, whether it’s cultural aspects, speaking, or reading. Additionally, I’ll share helpful tips and strategies I’ve picked up on my own journey of learning Spanish as a second language.

Whether you're preparing for an exam or simply looking to improve your conversational skills, I offer personalised lessons that are designed to meet your specific goals. I am patient, kind, and committed to ensuring you understand each concept thoroughly. Let’s make learning Spanish both enjoyable and rewarding!
