About Esmeralda
Hola. I am a Spanish native speaker with over 25 years teaching experience.
I have been Lead Spanish teacher in charge of the Spanish Department in a sixth form college, and I am currently teaching years 8-13 in a secondary school in London.
I am also a Senior A level Examiner and Team Leader with one of the main Examination Boards, which gives me a great insight into what is needed in order to achieve the highest grades in your Spanish exams.
You may be wondering 'how does this privater tutoring work'?
Let me tell you a little bit about it:
Before our first lesson, we will discuss what areas/skills you feel that you need more support with. After that, I will ask you to complete an exercise that will help me identify your level and gaps in your knowledge. During our first lesson we will mark this exercise together, addressing grammar points that may be holding you back or that you find confusing.
Each lesson after that will be specifically tailored for you and your language needs.
A variety of resources will be used and you will be given access to my GOOGLE CLASSROOM, where you can continue practicing in your own time, at your own pace.
Homework will also be offered. I strongly recommend completing it, as it will help you improve and consolidate your knowledge in between lessons.

I achieved my Higher Degree in Hispanic Studies at Universidad de Oviedo, Spain, where I also completed my PGCE. Once in London, I undertook a PGCE (FE) at Greenwich University. Since then, I have been lucky enough to have been teaching Spanish in various institutions, including Imperial College.
I have been Lead Spanish teacher for over 22 years, in charge of the Spanish curriculum in a Sixth Form College, where A Level Spanish became the subject with the highest Value Added (which measures students' progress) in the whole college. That means that my students were consistently achieving well beyond their predicted grades.
Currently, I am teaching Spanish in a lovely secondary school in London, and I am also a Senior A Level examiner with one of the main Examination Boards, where I am also Team Leader in charge of the marking of one of the A Level Spanish exam papers.
My experience as an A Level Examiner is an invaluable tool when it comes to learning from the intricacies of the A Level specification, while developing the exam skills needed to achieve success.
If you need help with your Spanish, get in touch. I am looking forward to supporting you in your Spanish journey!

Esmeralda tutored my daughter for GCSE Spanish. She was kind and took time to make my girl feel comfortable. My daughter achieved A in her Spanish GCSE, and this would not have been possible without Esmeraldas tuition. I highly recommend Ms Alonso as a teacher.

Esmeralda tutored my daughter for her A level Spanish exams this year. We started lessons in early March when my daughter realised she was at risk of falling behind her predicted grade. In just over two months (all the time we had left before the exams) Esmeralda did a miracle! She uncovered my daughter's knowledge gaps and put together a focused study plan to address key issues. She worked with her across the curriculum to improve grammar, speaking, writing, and translation skills. My daughter loved the lessons, and they gave her a real boost of confidence just in time for the exams. I was pleased to see improvements in her performance and to get regular progress updates from Esmeralda. I cannot praise her highly enough both as a tutor and as a person who really cares about results of her work, and I only wish we had found her earlier!
