About Me

I am a professional linguist and teacher of Galician from Rías Baixas (Pontevedra, Galicia). I obtained four different degrees from Galician and British universities. For the last 7 years I have been teaching and researching at University in Ireland and Scotland.Me as a Teacher
I am a passionate teacher. I thoroughly enjoy teaching my language. I have experience teaching a range of students: from Primary School to University. I have taught Galician to native speakers of English, Catalan, Spanish and Portuguese.
I enjoy answering student's questions and figuring out the clearest way to explain a topic. I truly enjoy witnessing their progress.My lessons & teaching style
My approach is to design the lessons according to your goals, needs and interests.
I create my teaching materials (grammar explanations and exercises) from scratch. We can do exercises in class and/or as homework. It's up to you.
I love using songs, fragments of TV shows and Youtube videos as listening comprehension practice. It is a very fresh way to familiarise yourself with the phonetics and rhythm of the language. Also, it's fun to get to know contemporary culture: music, literature, content creators, comedy, etc.My teaching material

Paula is an outstanding teacher. It is clear from all of her materials that she takes a great deal of pleasure in sharing the Galician language with others. She is a natural in the classroom: patient, encouraging and always respectful of the student's own aims and goals. I am continually impressed by the sheer amount of resources that Paula has created. To me, this speaks both to her understanding of students different learning styles, and her determination to be an inclusive teacher. I always look forward to my classes with Paula and I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about studying Galician.

Paula was very welcoming and reassuring, and the course seems very organized! I learned a lot just in half an hour, starting with the basics was very helpful. She provided lots of resources to use between classes and I’m really looking forward to my next lesson! Moitas grazas 😊

I am super thankful to have found Paula! She's a total language geek so I get to learn not only Galician but about Galician. As a descent of Galician I have really come to enjoy these lessons as I try to reclaim our heritage language. Paul is super knowledgeable, engaged and very easy to talk with

Paula is not just an awesome Galician language teacher, she's a true champion of Galician culture - deeply passionate about sharing its stories and history to foreigners and fans! She highlights key pronunciation and grammatical differences between Galician, Spanish and Portuguese which has helped me to separate the languages completely. Her lessons are always punchy and engaging, swinging from technical linguistic analysis to funny sheep videos and hilarious Galician sayings! After 25 lessons so far, her infectious energy and sharp intellect are just as present now as they were on day one. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paula to anyone who is even the slightest bit curious about the beautiful Galician language!
