Private Spanish Tutor and Translation Services

I teach language lessons to students aged 11 and up. I provide extra support for those studying towards a teaching qualification such as GCSE or A level.

The lessons are also for adult learners who want to develop their own language skills either in preparation for a holiday in a Spanish speaking country or for work purposes.

I enjoy teaching Spanish at various levels as it allows me to develop my teaching approach as well as get to know different people and exchange views about Spanish language and culture.

My approach involves structured learning and I prepare lessons that are tailored according to each student’s purpose and skills. All material will be provided and I make the lessons dynamic and interactive so you are always interested in learning more. Homework assignments will be given every week and I will monitor and review your progress. As everyone has unique needs and a certain pace, I will adapt my lessons accordingly.

I teach Spanish, oral expression and comprehension, Spanish vocabulary and written comprehension, Spanish for GCSE, A level, adult education, A1, A2, B1, B2 (beginner, intermediate and upper intermediate)

Based in East Bridgford, Nottingham, at the moment I conduct my services using online platforms only. These platforms, such as Google hangouts, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype, etc... are an effective way to communicate and carry out the lessons from the comfort of your home.

Each session costs £25 per hour. With reduced rates for extended lessons or blocks of lessons that can be arranged.

If you’re ready to start, I welcome the opportunity of teaching you and guiding you to become a fluent speaker. Do get in touch and I look forward to hearing from you!

Other Services

I also provide translation and interpretation services from English to Spanish.
I currently work as a volunteer translator for several NGOs.

Manuela’s classes are well structured with lots of varied and interesting materials. It’s great to have a native Spanish speaker to practice with. Manuela moves on at the students pace and is great at explaining a rule in many different ways until we understand. Classes are fun and informative. Really enjoy our lessons !

I have been having lessons with Manuela for over a year now and my Spanish has really progressed, especially the speaking part. Her lessons and homework are always looking to introduce new topics and review and consolidate previous topics. She is very reliable, her lessons are very good value for money and moreover, she is a lovely person to talk with.

Excellent teacher! Manuela has enabled me to become much more confident when speaking and listening to Spanish. I enjoy the tasks and find Manuela's explanations of grammar very helpful. Everything feels personalised to my level. I like the reading and listening exercises which relate to Spanish life and culture. As an adult learner I can highly recommend this service.

I have been having lessons with Manuela for almost 3 years. I find the format of the lessons very effective as it encourages me to speak and tests my comprehension. I am not a great fan of the grammar, but with Manuela’s teaching methods I am able to learn it gradually. She is very patient and certainly makes me feel at easy, which is very important when learning the language. The lessons are very pleasant and homework interesting and varied.
