About Me

I am a young and energetic teacher who is academically-minded and enjoys discussing topics relating to literature, history, theology and politics. I like to keep my lessons discussion-based when grappling with ideas to ensure the students are able to think for themselves and articulate their understanding of a subject. In addition to this, I like to use writing, reading, performance and videos in my lessons to maximise the student's engagement with the topics, and keep it fun and interesting.

I have experience teaching English, IT and History at a prestigious boarding school in Lebanon, where I taught both classes of children aged 8-11 and one-on-one learning support classes for children aged 8-18. I also have experience teaching children with learning difficulties and naturally, I have received extensive Child Protection Training and DBS Certifications.

As one of the most spoken languages in the world, learning Spanish from an early age can allow children not just to ease into the grammar and spelling but also adapt to correct pronunciation. Being billingual from a personal experience has opened me a tremendous amount of opportunities. From hospitality jobs to work experience abroad. Learning Spanish will also aid in the learning of other languages such as French or Italian. During my IGCSE's, I achieved a Grade of A* (96%), and most of it I attribute to my already fluent level in Spanish.

Classes will follow a progressive increase in level and challenge.
My first class will be analysing their current level and how easy the student grasps the language, and from there set weekly goals for them to reach.
My priority is for them to learn as much as possible the accent and correct pronunciation of the words, followed then by learning of sentence structure.

There are many skills and strategies that you may use in IELTS test which is the most important language test to the university degree. A number of students find this test hard especially in writing and speaking sessions. However, if you prepare the test in a systematic way, you will feel much easier than before.

After the courses, you will grasp important grammar knowledges which need to be used in writing and speaking parts and which help you with comprehend listening and reading materials. What's more, you will acquire several essential words that can be used to replace your simple words in the real test.

Hello! I am a university student at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and I am currently in Edinburgh. If you are a beginner or want to improve your Spanish? Don't be afraid to start. My classes are focused on developing your communication and expression skills, they are 100% linguistic immersion.

These are classes that I have taught and in which I have more experience, if you want to learn Spanish to travel, you need to improve your academic grades, conversation-only classes, interesting topics, language reinforcement or you want to improve your communication with your friends/family Spanish speakers.

So that you have an idea of what my classes are like:
o Academic classes we learn grammar and vocabulary, conversation.
o In conversation classes we talk about different topics + expand vocabulary and
We correct pronunciation errors.
o In travel classes we learn about how to ask for directions, ask for prices, order food, etc.

All classes are flexible and adapted to you with the goals you set.
