About Marta
My approach to tutoring has as key point a “can do attitude” so both teaching and learning become a challenge not an obstacle.
Then, I find essential to identify each student's characteristics and needs so I can develop a suitable learning sequence for each of them. I must say this is what I love most about tutoring, that the student has the freedom to learn at their own pace in a way that is unique to them.
Looking at language teaching more precisely, I like to use authentic resources that allow the student to grasp and enjoy the actual nature of what they are learning. This approach may seem too difficult for beginners, but I believe that thanks to internet and with a teacher that does a proper content curation, authentic materials for all levels can be found.
On the other hand, I consider vocabulary as a key point in any language because it is possible to communicate effectively with very imperfect grammar if the correct vocabulary is known. This is much more so in Spanish as its grammar can take a while to grasp due to its complexity.
Nevertheless, as I have already said, my approach to teaching any topic would be based on the student’s profile and aims.
Finally, if I had to give a reason why I am an excellent tutor for teaching Spanish I would say that being a native speaker of it provides me with a proficiency level of the language. However, I know that not every native speaker masters the different linguistic aspects of their mother tongue. But I believe my education provides me with an extensive linguistic knowledge not only of Spanish, but also English and Study Skills.
As a last point, I would like to add that I feel passionate about the process that takes place when someone learns. Seeing a student improving and not only understanding or acquiring knowledge but also creating a bound with the subject provides me with great satisfaction.

Perfect! Excellent tutor for all elements of iGCSE
Marta was a kind and encouraging tutor for my son as he prepared for iGCSE. He looked forward to her lessons and his level improved a lot with her help. She was adaptable and willing to help with anything he needed to practise. We would both recommend her.

Marta is a person who shows an enormous aptitude for teaching, as well as a great personality. Marta is a very enthusiastic teacher who encourages you during all the class, and at the same time, she is pretty demanding. Her experience, charm and dedication to the job itself are some of the characteristics which make her a professional tutor. Marta makes me to improve in terms of Speaking, thanks to her fluent English. In addition to this, her world experience helps her to have a real vision of the reality and she knows very well what students need. With her methods, I got a pass in Advanced level exam so I am very grateful to her.

Best regards,
Joseba MartínezI am submitting this review on behalf of Ms. Marta Quesada who was my tutor during a semester in 2014. I believe we covered about 20 lessons so I know her well, and I could not hesitate to give her a five star rating.
Marta demonstrated a variety of admirable characteristics as both a teacher, as well as an individual. Her professionalism, motivation and commitment to education were remarkable. She is a reliable and insightful tutor who managed not only to fill all of my knowledge gaps of the subject at hand, but also made the lesson both educational and enjoyable. Marta is an extremely versatile tutor who speaks several languages fluently and shares a wide variety of experiences that have enhanced her understanding of cultural and linguistic influences on individuals and groups. I admire how bold and diverse her lessons have been for they have helped me achieve a level of insight that is hard to attain with traditional teaching methods.
I have no reservation in recommending Marta to any students who appreciate an experienced and outstanding tutor. I hope this short review is helpful for you all. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details or need additional information.25/III/2015
To whom it may concern
I highly recommend Marta Quesada for employment.
I confirm that I have known Marta Quesada while she was a trainee teacher at my school (Presentación de María, in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain)
At all times I have found Marta Quesada to have very good communication skills. In addition, she is extremely organized, reliable and computer literate. Marta can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her. Marta Quesada was quick to volunteer to assist in other areas of company operations, as well.
I’m happy to provide further information if required.
Yours faithfully,
Fco. Javier Díaz de Durana.
Head of English Department at Presentación de María.View more recommendations
