About Me
I am a hard working, enthusiastic student, having just completed my penultimate year at the University of Edinburgh studying Spanish and English Literature.

During my second year at university, I volunteered writing lesson plans and delivering Spanish lessons at a local primary school where there was a severe lack of language, human and other resources available. I worked in coordination with the students’ learning objectives in order to deliver rigorous content in a professional and inspiring way. Following this experience, I have volunteered for Walsingham Support during the Covid-19 pandemic. The charity provides support for individuals with learning difficulties, autism, brain injuries and complex needs. I teach Spanish to a small group of adults each week over video call to provide some educational respite during this unsettling time. On the back of these volunteering opportunities, I have experience with disadvantaged or struggling students and adopt an approach that combines audiovisual learning with more conventional teaching methods to ensure that my tutoring is both engaging and rigorous.

I specify in tutoring English (grammar, reading, writing etc.) for foreign students preparing for school or university exams or who simply wish to practice the language. I can offer conversation practice for those wishing to advance particularly in their Spanish oral. I am a native speaker and can design a programme of lessons to suit the student's needs. If you would like to be assigned homework, this can be incorporated into the programme, and if you would prefer to adopt a more laid-back approach, this can also be provided for. I have experience teaching languages and am determined to make this experience as enjoyable as possible for those wishing to learn!

Hi there! My name is Flo and I am currently working in Valencia on my year abroad as an auxiliare de conversación in a Primary school. I am a 20 year old student from the University of Bristol in England doing a Spanish BA degree and I absolutely love my teaching job which is why I thought I'd begin private tutoring alongside it! I have access to a wide range of teaching resources through my job post for a selection of ages and abilities. I am a very patient and encouraging individual and I look forward to being able to assist people with learning English to the very best of my ability.

I teach classes on any school subject such as any language, history, philosophy, mathematics, etc. In addition, I also teach classes in musical language, harmony, analysis, flute, preparation for conservatory tests... and any subject taught in the psychology degree such as statistics, personality development, psychometry, etc.
I am open to requests for other subjects that I have not mentioned.
The classes will be specialized and individualized for each student, and will be based on a dynamic method that encourages motivation for learning. It is about transmitting the passion for learning.

I'm María, 20 years old, and I have a C1 level in English and a B1 level in German. I hold an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and attended a bilingual school for 18 years. I'm also studying English (Business Intelligence and Analytics), so I continue to use the language every day. I spent a year of my degree on an international program in Germany, where I gained much more experience with languages, both English and German, taking subjects in English and interacting with people who spoke both languages. I'm a hard-working person who likes to do things well and ensure the process is carried out in a didactic and effective manner. I have many years of experience with children, so that will never be a problem. If you're interested in learning more about my profile, don't hesitate to contact me!

English is a vehicular language and, therefore, essential. Therefore, it's vital to ensure a good command of it. I'll help you learn the language from a much more dynamic and enriching perspective.
At the same time, French is increasingly being learned. As with the previous language, it's essential to make sure we know it well.
I can teach classes in person or online.

English is very important and will open new doors for you in your career, but it will also help you travel, meet people, or simply acquire a new skill.

Hello, I'm Karen, a CELTA certified English teacher based in Valencia.
I don't just teach English: I guide you, step by step, on your path to fluency from day one. I take the time to understand your learning style and design each lesson to be tailored to your specific goals and needs.

Furthermore, my training in literary translation and interpreting has given me a deep knowledge of English, one that goes far beyond what appears in a textbook.
Finally, my CELTA certification guarantees that each session is not only dynamic and motivating, but also truly effective.
