Qualified teacher with 15 years of experience (QTS), Native & Examiner Hola a todos! I am a native Spanish speaker and I have lived in the UK for 19 years. I have taught Spanish in good & outstanding secondary schools in England and I have also tutored 1-1 and groups of adults. I studied English Philology in Spain and then I moved to the UK to study an MA in English Literature. I have also completed a postgraduate certificate in secondary education. I am a qualified teacher with 15 years of experience. I love learning about other cultures and languages, and I have previously studied Arabic, Japanese, German and French, which helps me understand the challenges that Spanish learners may face. In my free time I run and I take part in races. I am very patient, organised and I understand the importance of motivating students and supporting them with their learning by adjusting lesson plans and exercises. I enjoy planning interactive lessons - students have the opportunity to express themselves and apply their language skills in reading, speaking, writing and listening. I have taught Spanish for 15 years in the UK and I have the experience to quickly learn about your level, difficulties you are experiencing. I can also predict grammatical concepts you might find difficult and I produce exercises to avoid this.In observations I've always been rated good & outstanding. We will discuss topics/activities in advance and you will receive exercises to consolidate your learning. I can also help with exam preparation Venga, book a lesson today!

Lara was excellent - friendly, professional and methodical. She encouraged me to speak a lot and gave good guidance and feedback, with a plan of how to proceed from here. I'll be booking more lessons with her for sure.

I have completed a number of classes with Lara and cannot recommend her lessons enough. Lara is a consummate professional. Her classes, for which she is extremely well-prepared, are structured, challenging and rewarding in equal measure. Lara's years of experience in language teaching are clearly evident and she deftly incorporates conversational practice into clearly explained lessons focused on grammar. Moreover, Lara is friendly, open and encouraging and these qualities make the learning process very enjoyable.

I am really enjoying my weekly classes with Lara. She takes the time to explain new grammar points and I have lots of time in each lesson to speak and practice my conversation. She gives me homework each time which I can do as much or as little as I have time for. I can post this back to her in the platform. Lara is always on time, always organised and very patient. I highly recommend her to you if you want to learn Spanish.

This was my last lesson with Lara before going to Spain. I do not know where to begin. Never did I think I would have so much confidence and knowledge in Spanish until now, and I am forever grateful to Lara for helping me achieve this. I recall in my first lessons that I kept telling Lara that I was so nervous and did not know hardly anything. Now, Lara and I are able to have full conversations in Spanish, and I feel so much better. Lara is the best teacher you could ever have, and that is not an exaggeration. Thank you so much, Lara! I truly appreciate you.
