Maria Esmeralda

Hola,
I am a native speaker teacher of Spanish with over 25 years teaching experience.
I have been Lead Spanish teacher in charge of A level Spanish, in a large Sixth Form College in London where A Level Spanish became the subject with the highest Value Added (measure of students' progress) in the whole college. That means that my students consistently achieved well beyond their predicted grades.
I am currently teaching Spanish to years 8-13 in a GDST secondary school in London, and I am also a Senior A Level Examiner and Team leader with EDEXCEL/ PEARSON, one of the main Examination Boards, which is an invaluable tool when it comes to learning from the intricacies of the A Level specification and developing the exam skills needed to achieve success.
I am looking forward to supporting you in your journey to achieving a top grade in Spanish.

Tutoring Approach

In our first lesson I will assess your knowledge and identify the skills that you need to develop to improve your current level. I will identify the gaps in your knowledge and create a plan to address those areas. From then on, all the resources will be tailored to your needs and you will soon notice progress! You will also have access to a variety of resources in my google classroom, which you can use at your own pace, in your own time.
I am looking forward to supporting you in your Spanish journey!
