Communicative Approach


My lessons focus on communication. This means that everything we will study, whether grammar or vocabulary, will be developed within a meaningful context. Feeling part of a real situation will enhance your learning, hence I foster my students to use the spoken or written language as much as possible. You will find my lessons dynamic and stimulating, which encourages you to participate and take control of your learning process. Activities include role-playing, writing emails, phone-calls, and more.

I develop your speaking, listening, writing, and reading skills in a similar manner. That said, you are welcome to focus on conversation or a specific grammar point if necessary. My classes concentrate on your needs, level, interests, and goals. This will motivate you to use the target language in your daily life, linking it with your profession, hobbies, and passions.

Lesson Plan


Lesson Plan


During our first lesson, I will identify the areas of Spanish that you would like to enhance or improve. Based on this, we will establish the necessary short- and long-term goals you require in order to succeed.

Afterwards, I will tailor my teaching to your own learning style and work with you to choose the most appropriate learning strategy and resources. I aim to guide you so that you make consistent progress, to meet and even exceed your learning objectives. My lesson plans are flexible throughout the course, allowing you to focus on your selected areas in Spanish until you are confident.

General Spanish Lessons


During GENERAL SPANISH LESSONS, your skills in writing, reading, speaking, and listening in Spanish will be developed simultaneously. If you are a beginner, general Spanish lessons will provide you with a solid base in the language. In case you are a more advanced student, I can help refine your communication skills.

However, I can also tailor such lessons to work on conversational Spanish, focusing on real life situations. This is particularly relevant if you intend to travel to Spain or Latin America, and require competency. You can be confident in any situation– whether at the restaurant, airport, taxi, hotel, and more.

Testimonials


Brianain Devitt and Olav Ernstzen

“Before we started learning Spanish with Silvia we had tried various classes at Colleges and sessions with personal tutors. Silvia assessed our learning needs and styles and flexes her approach to meet our needs. She is a very accomplished tutor and makes learning remotely seem that she is in the room with you. She can be with us wherever we go! 

Learning with Silvia is like being taught by a friend, and our 90 minutes together are hard work (with homework) and enjoyable. That makes learning so much easier and effective. It can be frustrating at times, but her patience and good nature carries us through. We are happy to accommodate each other’s holiday and life Events with a friendly and flexible approach. She teaches to rules, the grammar and conversation skills which we then use during our times in Spain.”

 

Rob Cowan

CEO, Point Blank ltd

“I have been taking Spanish lessons with Silvia for the past two years and I can´t recommend her enough! The lessons are fun, interesting and informative, and my Spanish has improved tremendously since we started. I am now taking the classes online, which I initially thought wouldn´t be as good as face to face, however I am learning just as much, and I can take them from anywhere, which is really helpful”

 

Emily Mills

Senior National Account Manager at L’Oréal

“I have been learning with Silvia for 2 years now. Silvia is a brilliant teacher and the lessons are engaging and fun. You will cover topics relevant to you, at a level to suit your needs. Silvia listens to what you want to focus on and will incorporate this into your classes. Learning with Silvia is great and before long, you will realise how much progress you have made”

Ben Keith. Owner

Learning Spanish is not only a great skill to have when travelling the world or welcoming people to the UK but it is also so relaxing. My lessons with Silvia are always a pleasure and on finishing almost put me in a holiday mood! I recommend Silvia to Spanish learners of any level and can’t speak highly enough of her patience and persistence in teaching”

Financial Lines Underwriter. Liberty Specialty Markets

Silvia is a great teacher, I was a beginner when I started to take lessons with her and after one year I was completely fluent in Spanish. My biggest issue was learning the grammar and the conjugations, but she always managed to find creative and interesting ways to teach me. She is very knowledgeable and her classes are pleasant and fun. She also helped me with “Spanish for Business” as I needed to be able to read and translate insurance contracts for my job. I strongly recommend her”
