Experience

Private Spanish Language Tutor

Since 2016, I have offered private 1-to-1 and small group tuition in Spanish online. In this time, I have taught a variety of groups and ages from all over the world, though currently I have two main specialisms: young Chinese learners who already know English and are getting started with Spanish and Spanish for testing purposes. Specific Spanish exams covered: i/GCSE (AQA, Edexcel, OCR); A-Level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR); Official Spanish proficiency exams (DELE), and also Undergraduate study (written + oral exams).

National Tutoring Programme (NTP) Spanish tutor

Since 2022, and lately in association with Purple Ruler, I am doing online Spanish tutoring on both a 1-to-1 basis and with small groups of GCSE students (AQA and Edexcel) as part of the NTP programme.

Volunteer tutor at the Access Project

Excellent tuition shouldn't be a luxury for only those who can afford it. The Access Project is a fantastic organisation which supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities. I am currently a Volunteer Tutor for Spanish and English language GCSE students.

Associate Lecturer in Applied Linguistics (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya)

I am currently teaching on the Master's Degree in Technology-Mediated Language Teaching and Learning (online). I teach on the "Content and Language Integrated Learning, CLIL" and "Dissertation" modules. The language of instruction is Spanish and most of the postgraduate students are trainee teachers.

Associate Teacher in Spanish (University of Sheffield)

In this role, I contributed to the delivery of four modules: Advanced Spanish Language III/IV, Spanish Language (Higher Intermediate), The Hispanic Languages: Structure and Use, and The Social and Political History of Iberia and Latin America. I also acted as First and Second Marker for undergraduate assignments, including written essay scripts, class tests and presentations, and oral speaking exams.

Associate Lecturer in Spanish (Newcastle University)

In this role, I developed and instructed on three comprehensive online content modules relating to the Spanish language: Introduction to Linguistics (Spanish), World Spanish, and Spanish and Romance Word Analysis. I was also responsible for student assessment, such as setting and marking essays, class tests, and final exams.

Visiting MFL teacher (Spain)

In 2017 and 2018, I delivered a series of lectures on the topic of “Spanish and Catalan around the world” in sixteen Spanish state secondary schools to groups of students from all levels (1o ESO to 2o de Bachillerato, equivalent to Year 7 to Year 13 in the UK), and workshops for Spanish and Catalan Language and Literature teachers.

Teacher of English as a Second Language (Frog English)

In 2021, I founded an independent online language school that specialises in offering private English and Spanish language lessons to young students based in China. Spanish Scholars is a sister brand to Frog English but targeted to older and more advanced students. www.frog-english.com
