GCSE Spanish

 

Whether it’s getting to grips with the fundamentals (e.g. gender, tenses, adjectival agreement) or perfecting the more complex features (e.g. the subjunctive) that can help students achieve the top grades, I base my teaching on a thorough grounding in the grammar requirements at GCSE level. This is essential for building up students’ core skills, where improved vocabulary and comprehension gained from listening and reading practice feed into active language use in speaking and writing. As well as developing core skills, I provide specific exam preparation as follows:

Reading exam I work through reading texts in detail with the student, improving their vocabulary, their grasp of the structures of Spanish and their understanding of meaning in Spanish texts.

Listening exam Practice listening exercises and past papers are used to build on the student’s listening comprehension skills, increasing their ability to identify meaning quickly and securely in spoken Spanish.

Speaking exam Helping the student to prepare answers to common questions and practising sample and past role plays and photo cards develops their confidence and fluency in oral Spanish.

Writing exam I practise grammar exercises, written questions and translation with the student to significantly enhance their confidence and accuracy in writing.
