Mirkia

I am native Spanish speaker and a qualified and experienced Spanish teacher.

I offer Spanish lessons for all levels and purposes.
For GCSE, A-Level, DELE and IB my student's grades have been equal or above their target grades. This is because I prepare my lesson's according to each student's needs using a range of resources to cover all aspects of the language learning: Listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar.
For adult learners who are interested in using the language in real life situations in countries where Spanish is spoken, I adapt my teaching to cover life situations in which they will use the language abroad.
For A Level I cover all the books theater plays and movies within the curriculum: La casa de Bernarda Alba, Crónica de una muerte anunciada, Como agua para chocolate, Réquiem por un campesino español, La sombra del viento, La casa de los espíritus, Rimas, Las bicicletas son para el verano, El otro árbol de Guernica, El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, El laberinto del fauno, Ocho apellidos vascos, María, llena eres de gracia, Volver, Abel, Las 13 rosas, Diarios de motocicleta and any other.

I offer enjoyable lessons to all levels and I offer extensive out of lesson support providing my learners with activities to do in their free time and recordings of words for them to practice their pronunciation. I also give them links to web pages to further develop their knowledge of the language.

Tutoring Experience

-I have been a tutor for more than 20 years, offering one to one and small group lessons to children, teenagers and adults.
Before that I worked as a Spanish teacher at Guildford College Of Higher And Further Education and for Guildford Adult Education.

Tutoring Approach

In my opinion learning a language should be an enjoyable experience so I have that as a priority when planning my lessons.I also take into account the learner's needs and their preferred learning style and prepare the lessons accordingly. It is very rewarding for me to help learners achieve or improve their expected targets.
