Personal Message
As an actor and having completed a CELTA qualification in teaching English, grade B (top 25%) which I can apply to all teaching, I feel I can relate to learners well and make lessons fun, and engaging.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
English as a foreign language, and Spanish to all levels including preparation for exams.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I am a graduate of Colegio delibes with the grade 'sobresaliente' (equivalent A grade) in Advanced Spanish, a graduate of Psychology from the University of Sheffield, and recently a graduate the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in professional acting. I also graduated from Westminster Kingsway college in 2011 having completed a CELTA course in teaching English language to learners who do not have English as their first language.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have experience from my CELTA course, and taught privately at university, drama school, and since leaving Westminster Kingsway College.
How much do you charge?
I charge £30 per hour, or £55 for two.
Where do you teach?
I am willing to teach where I live, or to travel (within reason) to the learner's place.
When are you available?
I am very flexible and timetabling can be discussed.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
Regarding the Spanish and English, I teach from complete beginners to higher intermediate. Whether it be for those who want to learn the language, or those who need help with the academic side. I very much like teaching people who are complete beginners, as I remember what an inspiration my teachers were when I was learning at the very start, and believe I can give a good foundation. I also teach drama school preparation (auditions for getting into drama school), having taught it at drama school.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I can prepare students learning Spanish for anything below, and up to and including A - level.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
No.
Where and with whom did you train?
CELTA Westminster Kingsway college.
Do you have a personal message for students?
Every student is different, and every student learns differently. This is why I love teaching privately - I like to keep communication lines open with regards to whether a student is feeling out of their depth or the class is too easy. Language learning should be fun to learn, without the need for lots of grammar drills that we get so often in the British education system. At the end of the lesson I want you to be confident in what you've just learnt, and not scared of what you don't know! If you are from a Spanish speaking country, and want to learn English, I am perfect for you as I can explain complicated rules in Spanish to ease clarity (equally my Italian and French knowledge can help here, too). With regards to the acting, seeing how someone can do a speech is such an exciting opportunity - I love to give direction based on my experience from drama school and help people get one of those elusive drama school places.
