Native speaker, PhD, and University Lecturer. 7+ years tutoring!

¡Hola! I'm a native Spanish speaker, I lecture Spanish language, literature, and film at a Russell Group University, I am a Cambridge, UCL, and Complutense graduate, and I love teaching! I was born in Madrid, Spain, where I studied two undergraduate degrees: Spanish Philology (Hispanic literature and Spanish Linguistics) at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, graduating top of my faculty, and English Philology at Spain's Open University (UNED). I came to the UK to study a Master of Philosophy in Comparative Literature at the University of Cambridge, after which I worked organising teacher training programmes and teaching Spanish in Cambridge. Hoping to continue teaching and researching Spanish literature and language, I completed a PhD in Spanish, Latin American and Portuguese Studies at UCL. Simultaneously, I also completed an MA in Spanish Teaching as a Second Language at Spain's Open University (UNED) and the Instituto Cervantes in 2022.

I have been teaching Spanish language, literature, film, and history at UCL since 2020, first as a Postgraduate Teaching Assistant, later as an Associate Lecturer, and now as a permanent Lecturer.

I specialise in teaching A-Level and GCSE exams, Spanish for University and Spanish for business. I enjoy using teaching techniques based on the use of creativity in the classroom and focused on the applicability of the language in a Spanish speaking environment. I also consider flexibility crucial and I always adapt the structure of my lessons to the needs of the student. For exam lessons, I tend to follow the same structure, adapting it
