About Me

Hello! My name is Carla, a native Spanish speaker from Spain currently based in Cork, after graduating with a degree in English Studies.

I have extensive experience tutoring children and teenagers, helping English speakers master Spanish and Spanish speakers become confident in English. Because of my formal academic background in English literature and linguistics, I understand exactly where Irish students struggle with Spanish grammar, verb conjugations, and pronunciation—and I know how to explain them clearly in plain English.

What I offer:

Junior Cycle & Leaving Cert Spanish: Focused oral exam roleplays, listening comprehension drills, and clear written structures.

Primary & Early Learners: Engaging, interactive sessions using conversation, reading, and vocabulary games to make language learning natural and fun.

Bespoke Lesson Plans: Tailored to your child’s school curriculum, pace, and confidence level.

Education

BA (Hons) in English Studies | Universidad de Valladolid (with Erasmus at UCC)
Native Spanish speaker with formal academic training in English language, linguistics, and literature.
Specialised in comparative language analysis, making Spanish grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary intuitive and accessible for Irish primary and secondary students

Experience / Qualifications

I have several years of practical experience tutoring children and teenagers across both languages—teaching Spanish to native English speakers and English to Spanish speakers. Because my undergraduate degree is in English Studies, I don't just speak both languages natively and fluently; I understand the linguistic bridges between them.

When working with English-speaking students in Ireland, I know exactly where Spanish grammar can feel overwhelming, and I specialize in breaking those concepts down simply. For secondary students, I place heavy emphasis on the oral exam to turn hesitation into genuine speaking confidence. For younger kids, I keep lessons active and dynamic through visual storytelling, games, ensuring learning feels encouraging, interactive, and fun.
