Enthusiastic Spanish Tutor for A-Level and below.
I would make a great Spanish tutor for students of all backgrounds because I am a Native Spanish speaker and have great interpersonal skills.

Valerie A
Valerie is an absolutely amazing teacher - she is so good at explaining things in a way which I was able to understand and was also so kind and patient with me! Her lessons felt structured but still very personal and adapted specifically so I could get the best out of my lessons!
She was also really organised and always got in touch if/when a lesson needed to be rearranged as soon as possible and gave us plenty of choice and flexibility with when I had my lessons so that it would suit me and fit my needs.
I really enjoyed my French classes with her and I would 100% recommend.
