I'm Elena, a Masters student at Stirling University and a Journalism Graduate from University Pompeu Fabra (UPF, Barcelona). I currently live in Riverside Stirling, which is just a couple of minutes walk to the train and bus station.
During my studies as an undergraduate at UPF, I completed an Erasmus exchange program at University of Stirling and did several internships in Spanish media, such as La Vanguardia newspaper or RAC1 radio station.
I am originally from Barcelona, where I have been a Private Language (Spanish, Catalan and English) Tutor for 3 years to primary and secondary school children as a supplement to their studies. Occasionally, I've taken care of my students during weekends or certain evenings, when the parents asked me to.
As a teacher, I'm very passionate, thoughtful, responsible and kind. I always adapt classes to the needs of each student, either in a didactic learning method or a more academic one. Personally, I really enjoy doing practical activities and conversations to improve the language.
If you have any further questions regarding my application, or would like to arrange a call, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Elena tutored me in Spanish last year, and thanks to her sessions I was able to pass my exams with flying colours. Elena is incredibly knowledgable and patient, and manages to explain complex concepts coherently and concisely. She clearly has a knack for teaching, and her optimism and vibrant attitude gave me the confidence to succeed. I would certainly recommend Elena to anyone looking for an experienced, motivating personal tutor.
I consider 18 it's a reasonable price considering my commitment with my students and their learning, transport to the place of work and my flexible availability
