Upgrade your Spanish, upgrade your future

I have been a Spanish tutor and lecturer for more than twenty years (I know, I don't look my age at all!) at prestigious Spanish and British institutions. You can nose around a little bit here and learn about my Uni degrees, postgraduate courses, multiple training or the great feedback I've been given as a teacher!

I'm Spanish, from Tenerife, and I love the Spanish language, culture, heritage, food, society,… and I love teaching all about them. It all started right after Uni, when I was awarded a grant by the Spanish Ministry of Education to work as a Spanish assistant teacher in England.

From an island to another! … where I fell in love with Britain's multiculturalism, Britishness, scones, a nice brew, tea rooms, British countryside, gardens, snow, bluebells, castles, canals, moors, piers, the smell of grass, a good panto and lots more.

I thoroughly enjoy it and I can proudly say that hundreds of students I've taught in Spain or in the UK have felt the same passion and still use and have expanded what they learned with me to travel, live abroad, make businesses, make friends, research or study abroad, sit exams, chat with mothers-in-law, get jobs, start a new career path, sing Despacito …

Despite the obvious ups and downs of this profession, teaching Spanish has led me to fantastic opportunities, great friends and incredible experiences. It has shaped my life in many ways. And still is.

When I returned home from England in December 2018, after years teaching Spanish to A-Level and adult students at colleges in Lancashire, I did not imagine I'd miss it so much.

The warm thank-you and we'll-miss-you cards given to me by my students kept staring at me in a puzzled-looking way.

They, together with this uncontrollable need to teach of mine, to make you guys shine in all possible ways, to support you at this daunting but rewarding stage of your lives… are to blame for me embarking on this new project.

Friends and family say I'm hardworking, reliable, patient, brave, smiley, generous, proactive and with good sense of humor. But since they're biased, I'll tell you what my students and colleagues say: they praise me for being approachable, easy-going, natural, fun, committed, organized, conscientious, creative, helpful… Let me add that I'm not only looking forward to using my assets, skills, knowledge, experience and expertise to help you but also to learning with you and from you, guys.
