Maria L.

I am a first-year student at the University of Liverpool studying International Relations. I went to school in Birmingham and studied History, English Literature and Economics A-level. I have a strong interest in the humanities, especially politics. I went to a Grammar school for my secondary and sixth form education so I have specific knowledge of the 11+ exam. Lower Level: 11+ and 13+ GCSE: English (AQA), History (OCR), Business Studies (Edexcel) A-Level: Economics (Edexcel B) University of Liverpool - BA International Relations (first year) A-Levels: History, English Literature and Economics + EPQ GCSE: Maths, English Literature and Language, Triple Science, History, Business Studies, Food Technology, Spanish 11+ (2015) and 13+ (2017)

My favourite subject at school was English! It allowed me to be creative and achieve great grades. In my spare time I like to game and read books. I also like to think I'm good at Table Tennis 😂. I am currently studying Finance and Accounting at the University of Bradford. It is my second year and I am aiming for a First.

Having grown up in Spain for half of my life (15 years) I have always had a passion for languages and travel. I speak English and Spanish bi-lingually and so decided to undergo a career change from sales and marketing to a career in teaching languages as I believe they are so important. I want fulfillment in my career and the opportunity to meet people who are more like-minded sounds very exciting. I believe I am a passionate tutor, professional and fun with good energy and a positive outlook on life and look forward to the challenges ahead. I have lived and worked in Sydney, Santiago, Paris and Barcelona and have been fascinated by the amount of people who recommended me to begin a career in education. I hope I get the opportunity to fulfil this dream with yourselves and I look forward to tutoring here and beginning my PGCE in September! Qualified with all GCSE's at A to B across the board in 9 subjects (A*in Spanish!) I have 3 A Levels: Spanish A / English Literature B / French B I have a BA from King's College London (2:1 with Hons) in Hispanic Studies (2014) I am finishing my TEFL 120 course currently.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2018 where I studied History. Since then I have been working in finance and education, tutoring privately for over one year. I am passionate about providing effective support to students who, similar to myself, needed the confidence and support to fulfil their potential. My tutoring delivery is fun, informative and exam-focused to ensure results reflect students' true abilities. In my free time I enjoy sports - swimming, muay thai and cycling are my favourites.
