Private Spanish lessons
Knowing the concept but not the Spanish word costs you points in an exam. I teach in the language you think in and take you to the language you will be examined in.
One to one classes by video call. The pack of five works out at under eleven euros an hour and does not expire in a fortnight.
What we work on
Spanish from the ground up. If you are just starting, we build what you need to live in Spain and to follow an intensive course or the preparatory year without falling behind: the grammar people actually use, everyday vocabulary and plenty of conversation.
Academic Spanish. The Spanish you need to read an exam question without losing time, follow a lecture and write an exam answer. This is not a generic language course: we go straight to science vocabulary and to the way questions are written.
I only teach Spanish. It is what I can teach well, and I would rather say so plainly than take on a subject I do not master.
Why in your own language
I studied science in Arabic before studying it in Spanish, so I know exactly where the jump is. A student who has genetics down in Arabic does not need genetics explained again: they need the bridge between what they already know and the words they will be asked in.
When a concept will not go in in Spanish, I explain it in Arabic and we come back. That is not a concession, it is the fast way to learn.
How the classes work
One to one, by video call, with the material shared on screen. We start with a single class to see whether we fit, and from there you decide whether you want the pack.
Between classes I leave you specific work and I correct it, not reading lists. The hour of class is worth what you do with it afterwards.
What it includes
- One to one lessons by video call, not in groups
- Spanish from basic to academic level
- Science vocabulary and the wording of exam questions
- Explanation in Arabic when something will not go in in Spanish
- Corrected exercises between one lesson and the next
- Flexible scheduling around your time zone
Frequently asked questions
Can I try one class before buying the pack?
Yes, and that is what I recommend. A single class costs fourteen euros and lets you see whether the way I explain things suits you. The pack makes sense afterwards, not before.
Do you teach biology, chemistry or other subjects?
No, only Spanish. For the science subjects of the PCE, the UNEDasiss and PCE support includes summaries of Biology, Chemistry and Maths with a glossary in Spanish, Arabic and English, and corrected mock exams.
What level can I start from?
From zero. If you speak no Spanish at all we start with the basics, and if you already have a level we go straight to academic Spanish. In the first lesson we see where you are.
What times are available?
We fit around your time zone. I work with students in Spain, the Gulf and North Africa, so the time difference is part of the job.
