About Fernando
¡Hola!
My name is Fernando and I am a qualified Spanish Teacher with years of experience teaching in different environments.
I have a degree in English Studies and a Master's in Education with specialisation in second language acquisition. I hold full QTS (Qualified Teacher Status in the UK).
I am also Cervantes Institute certified DELE examiner and Associate Fellow of Higher Education.
I have experience teaching Spanish in different settings, especially in Higher Education in the UK. In the past I have taken different teaching roles at Coventry University or the University of Birmingham. I have also worked as a private tutor, preparing for GCSE and A-Levels Spanish as well as organising 1:1/group courses for adult learners. I have particular experience working with beginner users of the language and working our way up to confident use.
Currently, I am doing my PhD in Hispanic Studies while I teach Spanish part-time at Aberystwyth University (Wales), so the Spanish language really is my bread and butter!

As a tutor, my approach is to be flexible with student's needs. I have a preference for communicative approaches, using my own materials and real documents, like songs, ads or news articles. In my classes, you will learn by doing, experiencing a first-hand use of the language.
As a professional Spanish educator, I have experience designing engaging courses with ample range of materials and achievable learning aims.
My main objective is making lessons engaging, challenging, and effective, always tailored to the needs of the students. In my online classes, I use a variety of Microsoft-powered tools such as Whiteboard or Classroom.
Recommendations

Fernando is an excellent teacher. He is conscientious, reliable and very skilled at adapting lessons and materials to the requirements of the learner at an appropriate level. My Spanish speaking, listening and writing skills have all improved markedly since I started lessons with him. I highly recommend him!
Fernando is a great teacher and incredibly patient. As an academic at a UK university, he really knows his stuff and it shows in how clearly and confidently he explains the language.
I’ve really enjoyed learning Spanish with him - he keeps lessons light-hearted and fun, which makes a big difference. I recently had the chance to put my Spanish into practice in Barcelona and it was amazing to be able to use what I’ve learned to speak with people in Spain. It really showed me how much progress I’ve made thanks to his teaching.
He’s very supportive, and I look forward to our weekly sessions. I would highly recommend Fernando to anyone wanting to learn Spanish!I highly value Fernando’s teaching and motivational skills. I’ve known Fernando since I started taking Spanish lessons at my local college. The lessons were class room style but were quickly interrupted by COVID and school closures. I have been an Online student ever since. I am learning Spanish in my 60’s purely for enjoyment and conversation whilst a I spend a few months each year in Spain. I am not the quickest student, however Fernando adapts to my pace and tailors his teaching to what I really want/ need.
In a word, Fernando is ‘superb’.
I highly recommend him.
Gracias
Rowland
