MORE ABOUT MYSELF LATER, as the most important part is you want to ace your O levels, IGCSEs or A level urdu exams.

I am a native Urdu speaker and love this polite and cultured language. Those students who wish to speak Urdu for the sake of personal enjoyment and fulfillment – or even to converse with their spouses, friends, and family – will learn with me to speak the language with a fine neutral accent. I will provide several real-life scenarios and encourage students to hold hesitation-free conversations with a pleasant accent. At the end of successfully finishing this course, the student will be able to converse in Urdu without hesitation.
Urdu is a beautiful language that is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide in countries like Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, and other parts of the world. Urdu started developing in North India around Delhi in the 12th century. It was based on the language spoken in the area around Delhi and was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian as well as Turkish.
Urdu originates from Hindi, sometimes referred to as the 'sister' language of Urdu due to its grammatical basis. However, Hindi is written in 'Devanagari', a script similar to Sanskrit, and its vocabulary is influenced more by Sanskrit than by Persian and Arabic.

Welcome to the Spanish Poetry course, a linguistic and literary journey specially designed for adults and young people who wish to immerse themselves in the rich poetic tradition of Spain and deepen their knowledge of peninsular literature.
In this course, we will delve into the vast and varied poetic production that has flourished in the Iberian Peninsula over the centuries. From medieval songs to innovative contemporary works, we will explore the voices of the most prominent Spanish poets who have left an indelible mark on the literary history of Spain.
Throughout our classes, we will closely analyze the different styles, themes and literary movements that have characterized Spanish poetry over time. From the mystery of the Romancero to the depth of baroque poetry and the passion of modernism, we will immerse ourselves in the many facets of Spanish poetry, discovering how it has evolved and transformed over the centuries.
Through readings, discussions and practical exercises, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Spanish literature and develop their skills of critical analysis and aesthetic appreciation. Additionally, intercultural and linguistic dialogue will be encouraged among students, thus enriching the learning experience and promoting a deeper and broader understanding of Spain's rich literary heritage.

I am a student who can solve doubts about language and literature, history, Latin, English or others. Doubts regarding nominal syntax and text comments are, especially, the problems that I can best explain. I can visit libraries and public places in Madrid in person, the option would be both in person and telematically through Zoom or similar. They are negotiable and the duration and schedule of the classes also depends on the needs of the student.
Also contact me if what you need is of another subject or if you have any questions. :)

The objective to follow in these individual classes is to instruct the student both from a basic level and even if they already have certain knowledge and guide them on the learning ramp. My experience lies, to a greater extent, in dealing with ESO and Baccalaureate students. Therefore, I include as something fundamental the completion of the corresponding daily tasks and the weekly evaluation of what was learned throughout it. All this transmitted closely and without saturation. I instruct both those who just want to pass their exams, keep up with their homework and pass, as well as those who want to learn the language.

Education must be innovative, different, and fun. Education must help students both personally and professionally.

Having a good education means having a culture and acquiring different tools and strategies of various kinds: from emotional regulation and self-defense to solving social problems. To achieve this, it's necessary to start from the basics (even the tangible) to the more complicated: reflecting and going beyond.
