About Martina
Following my success in both my GCSEs and A levels, I graduated from the University of Reading in 2019 with a BA in Spanish Studies and English Language. Having studied Spanish for almost a decade prior to doing my year abroad in Mexico (University of the Americas Puebla, 2017) and Cuba (University of Havana, 2018), I am fluent in the language. As of April 2016, I tutor with Acorn Tutors and, as of October 2016, with Tutorful (formerly Tutora). Throughout the summer of 2018, I tutored online under Plovdiv-based agency Cambridge Centre. As of October 2018, I tutor with Tutor Hunt. This year, I extended my services to First Tutors. Having worked with people of all ages and abilities in my five years as a tutor - from primary school pupils to pensioners looking to buy holiday homes abroad - I have accumulated enough experience to give you/your child what you/(s)he need(s). My mission is to make learning a new language both easy and enjoyable.

I encourage every new student to tell me how much Spanish (s)he already knows prior to our first meeting; this allows me to plan a more focused lesson, saving us both time. Should my student be a complete beginner, we will kick things off with the present tense and - in an exercise which serves as something of an ice-breaker - introduce ourselves using our newly conjugated verbs. Being trilingual, I understand how challenging (and oftentimes frustrating) learning a new language can be for a native English speaker - especially as English grammar is seldom taught in UK schools; I therefore draw constant parallels between Spanish and English, identifying cognates, patterns and rhymes which jog the memory and facilitate learning. Everything covered during the lesson I ensure to recap both at the end and at the beginning of the next one; this way, my student is confident in his/her newfound knowledge and ready to move on to the next level. In the meantime, (s)he can revise with the help of the notes, tables, examples, exercises and links I've forwarded him/her.

Superb! Martina has prepared our daughter for her GCSE with wonderful results. She is extremely thorough and efficient and gave our daughter a much needed confidence boost. We intend to continue with her as a family now!!
My daughter was originally predicted a D and was struggling to form even basic sentences. With Martina's help, she achieved A* in her final exam after just four months. Martina is both patient and encouraging and makes lessons fun and engaging. My daughter is now considering taking Spanish at university next year. I strongly recommend Martina to anyone who is struggling with Spanish and is serious about improving their grades.
Martina is extremely flexible regarding anything that you would like to cover or have explained again. I started with her as a complete beginner. Martina went through all the verb tenses logically, making them as easy(as you can) for me.She is always extremely patient with me as my medication can make me forgetful.I have an hour's lesson,& the full hour is utilised.I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Martina!!
I cannot really thank Martina enough for all her help and support she had given to my daughter with Spanish lessons for her iGCSE. Her ways of teaching made a big difference in my daughter's confidence.
Many thanks,
Gautam PaulI have tried to give 5 stars problem with site. She is DEFINITELY 5 stars.She is an excellent tutor that I found from a different site. Whatever your requirements, help with GCSE's, an introduction to see if you like Spanish or like me, to be able to speak fluent Spanish! Martina will do it really well.
She will adapt to what you want, need.
This year I had the confidence to have conversations with Spanish only speaking people, the area of Spain we go to.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. She's never let me down. Always have an hour or more lesson!!See more recommendations
