About Rafael
I have plenty of teaching experience. Since I was 17 years old, I have been teaching students of very different ages (from 7 to 16 years old) and some adults. Besides, I have taught people with special learning process difficulties. I have experience teaching Spanish, Music and History and I also have lots of attitude to work!
- What kind of experience do you have?
I've been teaching one-on-one lessons for over 10 years so I know what individual students need and what types of problems they need help overcoming.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes, I have the DBS Certificate.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I studied piano in Musikene (Superior Conservatory of the Basque Country) in San Sebastian. My principal teacher was Marta Zabaleta, a famous Spanish pianist. She studied in the CNSM of Paris with D. Merlet, in the School Reina SofÃa of Madrid with Bashkirov and Marshall Academia in Barcelona with Alicia de Larrocha.

Speaking about learning a new language, I personally think that a lot of times are more helpful to translate a complete phrase or expression than thinking in the translation word by word. The knowledge of these expressions and phrases could help to make the translation automatically, giving a more fluent speaking.
I am friendly and personable with my students, and as I get to know them personally, they feel more comfortable and relaxed in their learning process.
In the past I helped students with their homework, but I always motivated them to think by themselves in their answers.
Hello everybody! ¡Hola a todos! I am a Spanish pianist with a lot of teaching experience whose speciality is to create solutions for each student so they can excel at the piano and Spanish.

Also I studied for two years a university degree in History and Science of Music in the UVa (University of Valladolid), and I am studying a Teaching Master in the VIU (International University of Valencia).
