I work extremely hard for your results: to me, my students are not just numbers on a spreadsheet as I am not part of a franchise or a language school. Thus, I get very involved in my students' learning goals and devote lots of time to their progress.
Not only is Spanish my native language, but I have a very good standard of general education. I cannot stress highly enough the importance of learning Spanish from a well-educated native speaker of the language from any Spanish-speaking country. Almost every time that I have taken on a GCSE or A-level student, I have had to make corrections to my student’s school-teacher’s corrections, because, often, their teacher is a native speaker of English with a degree in FML (Foreign Modern Languages). However well-qualified they may be, they may not achieve total proficiency or have experience of the culture. Let me put it this way: would you have your children learn English from me?
Furthermore, I wrote a dissertation on 'second language acquisition’ to get my degree. Also, I have the teaching of thousands of lessons to hundreds of students of all ages under my belt so you can say I know my stuff inside out.
I am easy-going, encouraging and will do my utmost to make you feel at ease when learning Spanish as I fully understand that learners emulate and absorb language better when they feel relaxed and motivated.
When I did my research to set my prices, I discovered that the average hourly rate for Spanish lessons in my area was £40 with some tutors charging up to £50! Often a percentage of this fee is commission to a third party. I then decided to ‘cut out the middle man’ by using my marketing degree/skills to promote my tutoring directly on the internet, making my tuition excellent value for money. See my fees here.
