Oscar

Qualified Native Spanish Teacher with a wide background in languages.
I am passionate, dedicated and reliable. Because I believe, and like, what I am doing, I offer an active learning experience based on a language context. I build a trusting relationship with the students to be an effective tutor. My knowledge for being fluent in Spanish, English and Portuguese languages is a great advantage to understand the best way to teach a foreign language.
I am well organised, methodical and understanding.

Tutoring Experience

I have got 12 years of teaching experience. I started teaching sports activities, -mainly swimming lessons-, and developing my career as Spanish Tutor. I am experienced teaching small groups, as well as in a 1:1 basis.
My experience working in a Secondary School enables me with the tools to understand the learning difficulties,
to support in order to improve your weaknesses and to encourage you to achieve your goals (general knowledge, GCSE´s, A Levels, DELE, etc)
I have proved that providing the most specific resources for each individual the result is an existent and reasonable learning progress.

Tutoring Approach

Evaluating the understanding level at the beginning of the tuition will set the basement of your tailored progress. I will find out the best way in which you will learn the new language. I will focus on it, listening or speaking - writing or listening-, to build the new knowledge and I will reinforce the weak ones to maximise your learning during the lesson time.
Because I am in the process of learning Italian, -and I know how it is learn a new language and have no much idea about what is going on- I tend to emphasize with my tutees to provide an appropriate approach to the language, always reinforcing pronunciation, spelling rules and key grammar.
