About the Tutor

¡Hola! 

My name is Eloísa and I am a native Spanish teacher living in Norwich. I received my QTS at Kingston University in London in 2005 and since then,  I have been teaching at Secondary and Primary schools, as well as offering private tuition to children, young people and adults of all abilities.  My professional lessons include the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), however, I believe that the most enjoyable competency is the oral one as verbal communication is what fulfils the learners’ desire.  I love the rewarding aspect of the teaching experience and I can help you if you would like to start speaking Spanish, so why not to give it a try! Looking forward to meeting with you
