As a 21-year-old final year university student, I remember taking my Spanish GCSE and A-levels very well. The teaching of languages in secondary schools is largely monotonous, so my tutoring style aims to make the learning of languages as fun and interactive as possible to ensure that students remain engaged.
I begin each lesson by recapping what the student learnt in the previous lesson in a fun, quiz-style format. I then progress to the main topics of the lesson, ensuring that all 4 assessed areas (writing, reading, listening, and speaking) are covered simultaneously. I try to mold my lessons towards the student's own interests and hobbies to make them as stimulating as possible. I then finish my lessons with another fun quiz to recap what the student has learnt.
Once I fully understand the student's level of Spanish, I alter my lesson plans to highlight certain areas so that students feel equally confident in all 4 of the assessed areas at GCSE and A-level.
