About me
¡Hola! ¡Bienvenido/a a nuestra escuela online de español!
My name is Silvia Píriz, and I’m the CEO of our wonderful Spanish GCSE online school. I’m a Spanish native teacher with a wide international experience -I have lived in several countries like the United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc., where I developed my skills as an MFL teacher.
Would you like to know more about how my teaching career started? Just keep reading!
I graduated from university in Spain in 2008 in MFL and subsequently moved to France where I embarked on a career in education.
I worked in a high school in Angoulême as a Spanish language assistant for the academic year 2008-2009, which gave me the opportunity to improve learners’ performance in Spanish, including GCSE and A levels.
In 2011 I was accepted onto the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) organised by CILT, with the aim of becoming a qualified Spanish and French teacher in the UK. After a huge effort and a tough year of work, I finally gained QTS in 2012 and since then I have always been working as a Spanish teacher in several British schools until I moved back to Spain in 2019.
Now, let me explain to you why you should choose us as your Spanish GCSE online school:
In our team, we all have…
Excellent organisational and communication skills.
Empathy and understanding of young people.
Good flexibility and adaptability when working in different environments with pupils from over the world.
Interest in contributing to the whole child`s education beyond the school day.
Strong willingness to assist pupils with Oxbridge applications and interviews after school and also to make them easier for their transition to the University.
As a plus, we also have experience as AQA examiners for the Spanish GCSE exam, so we have a strong knowledge of the exam and how to make the most of it.
How are our lessons organised?
All our lessons are fully prepared to work on the four skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing). Each lesson lasts 60/80 mins and takes place twice a week. You can either choose to join a group lesson (max. 8 people) or take individual lessons.
