Grace, as usual was excellent! Beside spanish language, Grace would impart some of the Spanish culture to me. I think this is very important and crucial to me. Thanks Grace!

Since my childhood I have been fortunate enough to have lived in many fascinating countries around the world, and I have also lived and worked in the province of Granada, Andalucía, Spain for four years, where I had my own translation agency and language tutoring service.

Teaching Approach
I tailor all my classes to the individual's needs, and assess each student during the initial lesson to discover their aptitude, and current level. I do this through general conversation, asking the student to tell me about themselves, their families, their aims and aspirations.
Speaking any language that is being studied can be challenging so I try to ensure that the student overcomes their nerves as quickly as possible by not overcorrecting, and always encouraging them and being positive about what they have achieved during the lesson. I also make sure that lesson ends on a happy note, with plans for the following lesson passed on so the student has time to prepare.
