I am a freelance Spanish-English translator and Spanish tutor based in St Albans, with over 15 years of experience in language education. Established Essentially Spanish in 2009, I offer personalised Spanish lessons for individuals and groups in the St Albans and Hertfordshire area. My teaching approach focuses on practical communication skills, whether you're starting from scratch or looking to refine your existing knowledge. I provide tailored tuition for all levels, from beginners to advanced learners, and specialise in helping students develop confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Beyond tutoring, I deliver high-quality Spanish-to-English translations for businesses and individuals, ensuring accuracy in finance, legal and general subject areas. My lessons are designed to be engaging and student-centred, adapting to each learner's goals and pace. I hold relevant qualifications in translation and language teaching, and maintain a strong commitment to professional development. Based in St Albans, I serve clients locally and remotely, prioritising clear communication and measurable progress.
