Hi, My name is Natalie and I am studying for my Bachelor's degree in Medical science. I believe I will be committed and optimistic whilst teaching, as it's an amazing opportunity to learn from students, encourage young people and be a source of guidance in students' education journey, I will work hard to do well. My lessons are filled with pushing my students with positivity and enthusiasm. Hopefully, this will give you a clearer view of who I am, as both a student and tutor!

Hi! My name is Lucia Valero and I am a third year Chemical Engineering student at the University of Aberdeen. I have taught Maths from primary to S4 level for a year. I try to keep lessons light and as engaging by possible, always working through examples and really encourage students to think independently as they are often capable of more than they realize. (I am not interested in teaching Spanish at the moment) Spanish is my first language, and I am familiar with the process of learning a second language so I am confident in teaching it. I find that usually reading and conversation are the best ways to learn a language and achieve fluidity but I can adapt to each student's needs. I sat Scottish exams (SQAs) and currently attend the University of Aberdeen for Chemical Engineering. I speak fully fluent English, Spanish and some French. I have around 2 years of tutoring experience I am interested in teaching English as a foreign language not as a subject. I have received French and English tutoring throughout most of my childhood and have given some Spanish tutoring previously, so I have some experience in the area.
