Spanish tutor - Enjoy learning a language with Carolina. Let's start classes today!

Have done Spanish lessons with Carolina once a week for half a year. Only stopping due to work travel commitments

Carolina taught me at an intermediate level as part of a small group for a couple of years. She is a very patient teacher and easy to get on with. As well as following a course with textbooks (I chose not to take exams although the lessons were designed to prepare you for them) we often used to have conversations in Spanish on a wide range of topics which I think prepares you much more for the real world than the textbook can! As a native speaker she knows the language inside out.

I learnt to speak Spanish originally by living in a Spanish speaking country. As such I was reasonably confident when speaking but fairly hazy when it came to grammar. Carolina helped me to get a much better understanding of the grammar and the situations in which the various forms should be used; in particular my accuracy got a lot better under her tutelage. More generally I found that when I went to Spanish speaking countries I was able to understand and be understood without much problem, and that would definitely have been harder had I not been having classes with Carolina.

Carolina has been teaching me for almost 3 years now. She has a very methodical approach that works very well for adult professionals, can identify the student's strengths and weaknesses and find what works best as an approach for each individual. She is patient, easygoing and friendly, while she has a unique talent in explaining the subject by focusing on the individual's background and abilities. After learning 3 languages by multiple different teachers throughout the years, I recognise these are attributes that constitute a good teacher and are not easy to find.

Carolina is a great teacher, who is very professional but also very friendly. She is sensitive to the needs of her students and makes appropriate changes in her teaching. She explains things clearly and is very patient.

Carolina is a great teacher of Spanish, covering current topics and relevant vocabulary to suit her pupils. Her classes are well structured and organised, and she provides crib sheets and exercises to be done at home alongside the classroom based teaching. Carolina is very patient. Expect to progress quickly.

Carolina was my tutor for Spanish and was excellent in the use of her teaching methods and elaborating on explanations and questions that I asked for. Really enjoyed the experience.

Carolina was my Spanish teacher for several years, before I left the class to have my baby, she is a very good, patient teacher. My lessons with Carolina were always very enjoyable, even when I was struggling with something because she was patient and helped me to understand by explaining things very clearly.

Carolina is a very helpful and patient tutor who really helped me develop my Spanish speaking skills.
Her lessons were always planned and well-prepared and she allowed me to learn at my own pace. Carolina is a lovely teacher and really helps people to achieve their goals.

Carolina taught me Spanish one on one over the course of ten weeks. I found Carolina to be a very punctual, patient and excellent teacher who also injected some fun into our classes with her friendly nature. Her grasp of both languages is excellent, she fielded my off the wall questions very well & was able to relate her teaching back to the business reasons I was studying for.

Carolina has been teaching me Spanish weekly for about a year, initially as part of a group and now on a one-to-one basis. A lot of material is covered iduring our lessons, and lessons are conscientiously planned and well structured.

In group teaching, she would use a variety of methods, particularly interactive methods, to facilitate learning.

Since teaching me on a one-to-one basis, lessons are planned based on prior learning and tailored to my particular needs. Homework is also set.

Carolina is my Spanish teacher and she is very helpful and patient and has helped me improve my knowledge of the language enormously. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn this language.

Carolina taught me Spanish for about 9 months in 2017, before I chose to stop the lessons due to work constraints. Carolina was a fantastic teacher - she was attentive, encouraging, and obviously very confident and experienced in delivering well-thought out lesson plans that suited my learning style. If I chose to take-up lessons again I would not hesitate to have her as my teacher.

I have been taking Spanish Lessons with Carolina since June 2016 and have been delighted with the progress that I have made, especially with my reading ability. I am now able to apply this in a work environment. Carolina takes an extremely structured approach but also makes learning the language enjoyable and is excellent at helping me understand some of the more difficult aspects when I hit a wall.

To whom it may concern,

Carolina Garcia has worked for Bishopsgate Institute as a self-employed Spanish tutor since January 2015. Her role consists of preparing and delivering Spanish language classes to adult students, as well as carrying out administrative tasks relating to these classes (keeping attendance registers, distributing students’ personal learning plans and student evaluation forms).

Bishopsgate Institute issues contracts to all its tutors based on the hours they are required to teach in the coming term. Carolina is regularly contracted to teach two evening classes (of two hours each) a week per term, with each term usually running for 10 weeks.

We are only able to run courses if we recruit sufficient numbers to make a course financially viable. Therefore Carolina may have taught fewer hours than contracted for in any given term, as a consequence of course cancellations.

Please do get in touch if you require further information.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Simon Vickery | Learning Programme Coordinator
