About Timothy
I am a qualified secondary school (with PGCE and QTS) teacher of Spanish (KS3 - A Level) and French (KS3) and have been teaching since September 2018. I have a strong grasp on the exam requirements for GCSE / A Level and have four years experience teaching children ages 11-18.
My journey with the Spanish language began through studying it to A Level at school. I moved to Valencia in 2017 where I lived for 2 years with locals and attended the Taronja Language School where I studied for and was awarded the DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera - awarded by the Instituto Cervantes) C1 qualification in May 2018.
I have developed an engaging and effective teaching style over the past four years of working in the profession and I have a number of approaches which make learning Spanish fun, meaningful and also promote progress. I use Spanish as the expected means for communication in my lessons through strategic use of gesturing and cognates but I teach grammar in English as clarity of rules and exceptions to the rules is important. I can easily cater to different types of language learners; those who prefer the whole lesson explained in English, those who prefer learning the more logical grammatical nuances of the language (por vs para for example) or the more expressive idiomatic side of the language (the day to day communicative Spanish which you would come across in Spain).
I am based near the centre of Bedford and would be happy to travel locally as I am able to get around by car. I also offer online lessons.
Please do get in touch for any enquiries and I will be happy to discuss and work out a suitable programme for your language needs.

I have developed a strong and effective teaching style over the past year of teaching the language in both state and independent secondary schools and I have a number of approaches which make learning Spanish fun and meaningful. I use Spanish as the expected means for communication in my lessons through strategic use of gesturing and cognates but I teach grammar related issues in English as clarity of rules and exceptions to the rules is important. I can very easily cater to different types of language learners; those who prefer the whole lesson explained in English, those who prefer discussion of polemic issues in the language (I have a comprehensive catalogue of authentic hispanic resources), those who prefer learning the more logical grammatical nuances of the language (por vs para for example) or the more expressive idiomatic side of the language (the day to day communicative Spanish which you would come across in Spain).
