Catherine H

I am a 2021 graduate from Durham University who studied modern languages and cultures, specifically Spanish. I have spent 6 months in Cuba and Argentina for my year abroad which really enhanced my passion and learning of the language. I am fully knowledgeable of all the requirements for GCSE Spanish and I am very confident to tutor GCSE Spanish students to prepare them for all aspects of their exams.

2015: Infant school beginner Spanish workshop fortnightly 2019: Working as an Au pair teaching two children English 2020: I prepared and gave classes to a large group of Argentinian children from ages 4-14. These teaching experiences have helped me immensely in developing my skills as a tutor as I had lots of practice planning classes as well as delivering them. <Phone Number Redacted>: I tutored a student for 7 months in preparation for his GCSEs

Lesson Outline: The first lesson will be used to assess what level the student is at and what can be approved upon. From key stage 1 to A level I will use the structure of the school Spanish curriculum to serve as a guideline of what to teach to achieve the best grades possible. However, I will also include materials that may not be used in class such as film or podcasts to vary the learning a bit to keep it as interesting as possible. Seeing as I have done GCSE Spanish and IB Spanish I know what the examiners are looking for to get a high grade as well as a student perspective.

I have experience with the exam boards that I took for GCSE and International Baccalaureate, it is important to know exactly what the exam boards are expecting and looking for when tutoring GCSE and sixth form students as this will greatly influence the grade they can achieve.
