GCSE Spanish tutoring

Spanish is four exams in one subject, and most students are far stronger in two of them than the other two. Finding out which two, early, changes how the year should be spent.

Who this is for

  • Year 10 and 11 students taking GCSE or IGCSE Spanish
  • Students who freeze in the speaking exam
  • Students whose written Spanish is accurate but simple
  • Anyone who finds the listening paper too fast

What we cover

  • Tenses — present, preterite, imperfect, future, conditional and subjunctive
  • Speaking — role plays, photo cards and general conversation
  • Listening, at exam speed rather than textbook speed
  • Reading and translation in both directions
  • Writing structures that reliably access the higher mark bands
  • Vocabulary by theme, tested by retrieval rather than lists

Where marks actually go

The same few things cost most students most of their marks. These are the ones we attack first.

Tense accuracy

Knowing the endings and using them correctly at speed are different skills. The second only comes from being made to produce them.

Speaking nerves

Usually a preparation problem, not a confidence problem. Rehearsed structures leave enough attention free to actually think.

Listening speed

Native pace feels impossible until you have heard enough of it. Regular exposure fixes this more reliably than any technique.

Writing that stays simple

Accurate but basic Spanish caps your grade. We build in the specific structures that lift an answer into the top band.

Exam technique

Every lesson includes spoken Spanish, because the speaking exam is the one students most often avoid preparing for. Written work is marked for the specific criteria the mark scheme rewards.

Exam boards

Edexcel IGCSE by default, with AQA and Edexcel GCSE also taught.

How lessons are tracked

Written up the same day

Homework, lesson write-ups, past-paper scores and invoices all live in a private portal. You sign in and see the whole history, rather than hunting through messages.

Zoom, or at home in West Hampstead

Online lessons take place on Zoom, using shared whiteboards or presentations where helpful. Home-based lessons are available within West Hampstead only, by arrangement and subject to tutor availability.

Parents welcome

Parents are welcome to sit in on any lesson, with no notice.
