Fun, useful fluent Spanish classes (beginner-intermediate, foreigners living in Spain)

Advert description
-THE FIRST CLASS IS FREE!-EL PRIMER CLASE ES GRATIS!

I first came to live in Southern Spain in 2010 and have achieved native level since that time. I'm passionate about helping other foreigners who live here to achieve a good level of colloquial Spanish - a level that enables them to thrive, rather than just survive, in this beautiful society. I feel this is crucial in enabling British tourists and settlers to embrace Spanish culture with gusto.
I often joke that my speciality is to teach people how to speak Spanish without a British regional accent. This is always my first class: the alphabet and the phonetics of Spanish. Without a good grasp of the pronunciation of each letter, you'll never be fluent or sound like a native. I have a natural Andaluz (from Andalucía) accent myself, so another speciality is to teach colloquial Spanish to foreigners living in Southern Spain - idioms, phrases, useful and practical words you can use in your day-to-day life. I’m also obsessed with key word transformations and how you can literally invent hundreds of words, simply by knowing a few top tips to translate from English to Spanish with ease.
I have 7 years' experience teaching Spanish online and face to face. I’ve taught children’s group classes in the UK and also set up and facilitated an adult’s Spanish Club in a local pub, providing a popular space for practical Spanish conversation and learning in a casual and fun environment. I’ve used props, games and music to make sessions engaging, fun and memorable. You’re never too old to learn through play!
Having said that, I am a grammar geek and enjoy answering any tricky questions you might have about sentence structure, reflexive verbs, pronouns, and Ser vs Estar, for example. The vast majority of my students have been beginner to intermediate level, and I pride myself on excelling in teaching Spanish from scratch, and helping you continue that process - from beginners to beyond.
I always focus on the needs of my students - so whether it's holiday Spanish, progression of personal goals, grammar and fluency or simply the fun of learning a new language, I can help. My first class is free, so give it a try.

Vamos a aprender español!

Sophie has been an exceptional English teacher for my family and me for many years. She knows exactly how to make learning both fun and effective, helping us to pick up the language in a way that feels intuitive and natural. Thanks to Sophie’s excellent teaching, my son was able to pass his CPE at age 15. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, patient, and enthusiastic English teacher.
