About Me
italki teacher since Oct 30, 2013InterestsFoodTravelMusic
I am a qualified teacher currently living and working in the centre of England. I enjoy cooking and travelling, through these two things I have enjoyed learning about various cultures and languages. I speak and teach Spanish, previously working as a head of department in a UK secondary school where we use the AQA examination boards for both GCSE and ALevel. I am currently learning Italian and French using Italki so I know just how you feel to be using a language for the first time.Me as a Teacher
I encourage as much speaking as possible and love to learn about your culture! I like to make my lessons fun and relaxed but also make sure that you are learning as much as possible. My lessons & teaching style
I like to use photos to prompt discussion and relax students at the start of lessons, after this we work on whatever is needed! I generally use online articles as well as a variety of student books and worksheets to support learning.
Lessons will be designed to whatever is needed or requested, these may be general conversation, fluency, exam preparation, etc.Certificates

Thanks it’s really useful to be looking at what she’ll be doing in the exam. Hopefully she’ll say more and be a bit louder as she gets to know you!

The lesson was amazing!
The teacher was so lovely and nice. I honestly enjoyed the discussion with her. She is a professional in her field and a great advisor as well.
The session I had with her fulfilled my needs.
