Carlos Plazas

As a tutor with a rich academic background and a deep connection to teaching, my lessons are designed to help students achieve fluency while enjoying the learning process. Growing up in a family of educators in Latin America, I developed a natural passion for teaching and the ability to connect with diverse learners. My training as a lawyer and my Master's in Public Policy from the University of Bristol further reinforce my structured yet adaptable approach to education.

I offer lessons tailored to different levels of proficiency, ranging from Beginner (A1) to Pre-Advanced (B2.2). These lessons are aimed at building communication skills for real-life situations, whether it's for travel, social interactions, or professional purposes.

Lesson Format and Dynamics:

- A Communicative Approach: My teaching focuses on engaging students in real conversations and practical scenarios.
- Variety of Learning Activities: To accommodate different learning styles, I incorporate visual aids (such as images and PowerPoint presentations), interactive games, writing exercises, and speaking practices.
- Customized Content: While we follow a structured curriculum, I also draw on various resources and real-world examples to keep lessons dynamic and relevant.
- Supportive Environment: As a native Spanish speaker with personal experience learning English, I understand the challenges and joys of language acquisition. I aim to create a supportive, patient, and motivating space for my students.

With experience teaching private Spanish lessons in Brisbane, Australia, I’ve seen firsthand how personalized lessons can transform a student’s confidence and ability. I’m excited to continue sharing my language and culture here in Bristol while helping students of all levels progress toward their goals.

No matter your starting point, I’m here to guide you on your language-learning journey!
