Karina Simon

I am a native Spanish teacher from Argentina with over 19 years of experience teaching in UK secondary schools. I specialise in Spanish language instruction across all levels, with a strong focus on GCSE and A-Level preparation. My approach is pupil-centred, aiming to build confidence and fluency in a supportive and engaging environment.

My lessons are carefully structured to develop all four key language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—while also placing a strong emphasis on grammar and phonics. I believe that a solid foundation in language structure is essential for effective communication and long-term success. To enhance learning and bring the language to life, I incorporate a wide range of cultural content from both Spain and Latin America. This not only broadens students’ understanding of the Spanish-speaking world but also deepens their appreciation and motivation.

Whether you're a beginner, looking to boost your confidence in class, or aiming for top grades in GCSE or A-Level exams, I tailor each session to suit your goals and learning style. My aim is to make Spanish enjoyable, meaningful, and accessible for every student I teach.
