My specialty is teaching the IB diploma (INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE) and all the Spanish programs from the UTS university, UNSW or Sydney university for every student who needs private classes.
I also prepare students to pass the International Degree in Spanish DELE in every level, from the A1 to the highest level C2 (required to study a Spanish Master Degree in Spanish universities).
All High School students from private or public Schools programs in Spanish are welcome, as I have been helping them to properly performed for their exams in the last 27 years.
After providing private Spanish classes for 24 years in Sydney, seven
days a week and having taught my language to dozens of Australians, Asians, North-American, European and Kiwi students here, I can undoubtedly be considered a competent and charismatic teacher.
I am a Journalist and a Master in Communication Management (PR) as well!.
I am also an editor in Spanish and a writer of everything in Spanish, from speeches to long business projects in Spanish. I can translate every piece of writing!.
The knowledge of my Castilian language is supported by 5 years studying Journalism at one of the most prestigious universities in Spain: the Complutense University from Madrid.
I am based in North Sydney, so I can easily teach in the City, Mosman, Neutral Bay, 'Cammeray and eastern suburbs.
My Private Policy. Every student has a different reason to learn Spanish, so my modus operandi is to try to accommodate my tuition to the purpose of everyone (from travellers to university students in Australia, High School students or the ones who have to pass the international Exam of Spanish Language called DELE
at any level). I TEACH SPANISH THROUGH ZOOM, SKYPE, SPECIALLY FOR SECOND AND HIGH LEVELS.
Nevertheless, I still follow the grammar-conversation program that I have organized as:
a) Beginners. Explanation of differences between male/female, plural/singular and nouns/verbs for students to understand how to build a basic sentence. Present tense, basic future, how to express permission and duties for them to be able to survive in case they want to travel to any Spanish speaking country, will be part of this first step.
b) Intermediate. Present perfect and preterite versus imperfect tenses, mixed with all the variety of the Spanish pronouns, teaching the students how to use them with reflexive, non-reflexive verbs and as objects directs and indirects, as well as in impersonal expressions in every day conversation sentences.
c) High-intermediate students. They will have to learn the pluperfect and conditional, as well as understanding the concept of subjunctive in opposition to the indicative tenses that they studied in previous levels.
d) The students of the highest level are supposed to be speaking at the level of any speaker originally from Spain or South America, with my system: practice-
practice-practice.
RATES. From $110.00 per hour to $145.00 (an hour and 15 minutes) or $160.00 (one hour and 30 minutes)

"I started learning Spanish at the end of last year with Raquel. I started with no knowledge whatsoever of the subject. I honestly cannot fault her teaching. Over just a few months of weekly lessons I found myself improving incredibly quickly. Her teaching style is very active, which keeps the lesson interesting and makes it very easy to keep focused. As she is experienced, she notified me that as the months went by, I would slowly find it more difficult to grasp the more advanced concepts of the language, and in doing so, prepared me well for the slight difficulties I faced in a few areas of the subject. As a teacher, she does a fantastic job of motivating you to continue practicing as much as you can, and is also very understanding of how busy you may be, and as a result, provides great tips on small ways to maintain your current understanding of the language. In terms of preparation, she is always on time, frequently available on short notice, and provides many worksheets, making it very easy for the student. I highly recommend Raquel to anyone who is looking to learn Spanish."
