About Samuel

I’m a passionate and experienced Spanish teacher with over 10 years of teaching under my belt. My love for languages and books has been a constant thread throughout my academic, professional, and personal life. I hold a BA in Translation and Interpreting (English and Russian) from the University of Granada, and an MA in Audiovisual Translation from the University of Roehampton, London. Additionally, I was fortunate to receive a prestigious scholarship from the Japanese Government (MEXT) to complete a Teacher Training diploma at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies.

Currently, I work part-time as a Reader Services Supervisor at the Bodleian Art, Archaeology, and Ancient World Libraries at the University of Oxford, where I manage library services and help readers navigate the world of books—a role that aligns perfectly with my passion for literature and languages.

Teaching Style

My teaching philosophy revolves around practical, engaging lessons that not only focus on learning the language but also understanding its cultural context. With a background in translation, I have developed a keen eye for detail, which helps me guide students in mastering natural, idiomatic Spanish. I emphasise understanding the grammar rules, as well as the logic—or lack thereof!—that underpins language patterns.

Each lesson, typically lasting between 60 to 90 minutes (depending on the student's preference), blends speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities, often incorporating authentic materials like videos, songs, and articles. My goal is to make learning both enjoyable and effective.

Who I Teach

I have experience teaching in a variety of settings, including university language centres, middle and high schools, language academies, and private tutoring, both in person and online. My students have ranged from 14-year-olds preparing for iGCSE, A-Level, and IB DP exams to adults looking to enhance their conversational skills or dive deeper into Spanish literature and culture.

Linguistic and Cultural Awareness

Having lived, studied, and worked in Spain, Russia, the UK, and Japan, I bring a well-developed linguistic and cultural awareness to my teaching. As a native of the Canary Islands, I’m familiar with both mainland Spanish and Latin American varieties of the language, making my lessons adaptable to students' specific needs and interests. I always strive to enrich my lessons with cultural insights, offering students a deeper understanding of the Spanish-speaking world.

Why Learn with Me?

Whether you’re aiming to improve your conversational skills, prepare for an exam, or explore Spanish literature, I’m here to guide you through an engaging and supportive learning process. I’m deeply committed to helping you achieve your language goals and ensure that you enjoy every step of your Spanish learning journey.

As a Spanish teacher with over 10 years of experience, I offer a tailored, communicative approach that ensures students not only learn the language but also develop a practical understanding of it. My lessons focus on using natural, idiomatic Spanish while helping students understand the grammar and logic (or at times, the lack thereof!) behind the language. With a background in translation, I’ve developed a keen eye for detail, which I apply to help students fine-tune their language skills.

Each lesson typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes (up to the student's preference) and includes a balanced mix of speaking, listening, reading, and writing exercises, using authentic materials like videos, songs, and articles. I aim to make learning both engaging and practical. I have experience teaching at various educational settings including university language centres, middle and high schools, language academies, and providing private tuition both in person and online. This broad experience has allowed me to adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of different learners.

I have extensive experience teaching students aged 14 and up, particularly within IB DP, A-Level, and iGCSE settings, though I primarily focus on teaching adults.

Having lived, studied, and worked in Spain, Russia, the UK, and Japan, I bring a deep linguistic awareness to my teaching, allowing me to navigate the complexities of language acquisition with ease. My unique background as a native of the Canary Islands allows me to offer a blend of mainland Spanish and Latin American influences, which is particularly helpful for learners seeking to understand the variations of Spanish across different regions. I am well-versed in the diverse accents and lexicons of both Spain and Latin America, making my lessons adaptable to your needs.

Whether you're looking to improve conversational skills, prepare for exams, or explore Spanish literature and culture, my lessons are designed to help you succeed. Additionally, my experience living in different countries enriches my teaching with unique cultural insights, making the learning process even more engaging.
