SPANISH AND ENGLISH LESSONS (Certificates: Trinity / Cambridge / Cervantes)

Would you like to speak Spanish? I can help you learn Spanish for whatever purpose you need (travelling, business, studies, certificates). I also teach English.
My name is María,, and I am an experienced native Spanish teacher, (Doctorate Studies in Teaching using new technologies. I graduated in English Philology and have my Master's in teaching Spanish and English as a Foreign Language). I own a language school for more than 33 years, where English and Spanish are taught. I prepare students for Instituto Cervantes, Trinity College London and Cambridge Certificates.

Teaching is my world. My students feel constantly motivated and in a few months, they can see how much they are learning. My classes are entertaining and focused on make the student speak and communicate, both speaking and writing. I love bringing cultural aspects to the lessons because learning a language is not just the academic side but customs, education and manners, among others.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact me, it will be a pleasure to help you.
Regards,
Maria.

Speaking English can help you communicate and meet new people, whether they are people who are also interested in learning the language or some new people from other countries, increasing your social life. Learning a new language is not just about understanding how it is spoken, it goes much further, it is also about delving into its culture to obtain new information.

Preparation for the Academic and General Reading IELTS exam
Taking the IELTS exam can be quite challenging, even for those who have mastered English as a second language. It requires a comprehensive understanding of its various components and the specific techniques needed to excel in each part. Each individual skill of the four skills it covers needs to be focused on and approached differently; my tailored preparation program utilizes practice tests and feedback sessions to address all of the mentioned. This is where I step in to provide you with a detailed overview of the various types of questions you will encounter and how to effectively approach them to achieve your desired band score.

English classes for all levels, from children to adults.
In the classes, the objective is to go deeper into all the aspects of English that are more difficult for the students, reviewing at the same time other aspects that have already been acquired so as not to forget them. Normally, the students' mistakes are due to the previous knowledge they have of Spanish, so we can remedy them with practice and continuous correction of exercises. Before starting the private classes, we will try to establish the student's personal objectives in order to shape the classes to their needs.
