Masters degree in Specialised Translation (Msc Specialised Translation UCL)

BA Hons First Class degree in Hispanic Studies (The University of Nottingham)

QTS (Qualified Teaching Status) from teacher training in the UK.

I have taught both Edexcel & AQA Spanish for GCSE and A level in a diverse range of classroom settings both in schools and online. I have taught at Southend Grammar School for Girls, The Anglo European School and Hall Mead School.

I have resided and worked in both Spain and Mexico City and travelled extensively to acquire mastery and fluency in the Spanish language. I also worked as an interpreter for the NHS.

I plan my lessons rigorously and am committed to pupil progress and getting results.

I am super friendly and approachable and hope that you will feel relaxed and engaged in my lessons! I know that learning a foreign language can be daunting. I want my students to feel at ease and confident, learning at a pace that works for them.

I am a grammar geek and love teaching tenses, even the imperfect subjunctive! YIKES. Some of my subject specialisms for A Level include but are not limited to:

Film study (El Laberinto del Fauno & Volver), literature (La Casa de Bernarda Alba & Como Agua Para Chocolate) and La Dictadura de Franco.
