About Sonia

I am a native Spanish teacher with a degree in linguistics and literature from Deusto University in Bilbao and a master's in translation from City University. After working as a bilingual PA in London for many years I decided to leave my job to do what I love. I have now been teaching privately for over 15 years and I teach students from all backgrounds, from GCSE to A level or IB, and also adult students who want to challenge themselves by learning a new language. I also collaborate with Chelsea FC helping players and staff learn Spanish or English to help them achieve an effective cross-cultural communication.

About the lesson

I am a very patient and encouraging teacher and I explain grammar thoroughly but in a very simple way. I set some homework after each lesson so the student can learn the vocabulary. I allow for lots of conversation time in every lesson, focusing on correct pronunciation. Once the student reaches intermediate level most of the lesson time is spent on conversation, unless they are preparing for an exam, in which case I set appropriate exercises.

Sonia's response
Thea asked me to teach her daughter who is doing Spanish GCSE. We looked at vocabulary and present tense verbs and she understood the grammar and what needs to be done to achieve a good grade.

Perfect! I have had a couple of lessons now with Sonia to help me prepare for the oral section of the Dele B1 exam and I’m very pleased with how it is going. Sonia is a very experienced teacher, friendly and diligent in her preparation for our lessons. I feel I’m making very good progress in preparing for my exam and can highly recommend Sonia to others.

Sonia's response
Ciro has an intermediate Spanish level and started lessons with me because he wants to take DELE B1 exam. His grammar and vocabulary are good but lacks exam technique as he has never taken formal lessons before. We have worked out a plan to help him practice this and I am confident he will succeed when he takes the exam as he is highly motivated. He is an engaged student and it is a pleasure to teach him.

Sonia's response
Steve had already been learning some Spanish with an online tool and he has already a basic understanding of the language. It won’t take him long before he is speaking confidently. Well done Steve

Perfect! It was our first lesson, so Sonia asked what we were wanting out of the lesson and also asked some basic questions in Spanish to see our level and then developed our first lesson around that. Very good.

Sonia guided me through the whole two years of the IB diploma, providing me with a strong academic structure, robust Spanish knowledge and guaranteed reliability in and out of lessons. Sonia was open to adjust our lessons to my preferences, so that I could develop specific Spanish skills, which helped me greatly for my final exams. I had a great time with Sonia, who was more than just a tutor, but a fantastic companion as well.

Sonia is an excellent tutor, she helped me for 2 years, and my grade went from a 6 to a 9!!! I can't believe I got a 9 for my GCSEs. She is so kind and patient, I can't recommend her enough.
