Want to help your teen feel more confident in GCSE Spanish?

I’m so excited to share that my new GCSE Spanish Confidence Club starts on Saturday 13th September with live small group tuition on Zoom taught by me, a qualified teacher and current GCSE examiner.

📅 Year 11: Saturdays 9 to 10am
📅 Year 10: Saturdays 10:15 to 11:15am

To support my GCSE students even more, and because I know the speaking exam is often the area where they want extra practice and confidence, I’ve upgraded my support so that every week they will have:

🎤 Individual speaking practice with AQA or Edexcel style tasks, guided by examiner tips and personalised feedback from me. Each week students get an online assignment with video tutorials or support notes from me, then send back their answers by WhatsApp as audio or video for personal feedback to keep building confidence between lessons.

📂 Access to a private online student dashboard with lesson replays, vocab booklets, weekly vocab games and my favourite recommended revision sites.

🎉 Holiday activities to keep learning ticking over during breaks from the classroom.

Spaces are limited and even though I haven’t really advertised it yet 🤦‍♀️ spaces are already being snapped up!

Looking forward to welcoming back students now going into Year 11 plus welcoming new students to our lovely GCSE Spanish community 🇪🇸

This all-in-one support is £100 a month and includes priority booking for any booster sessions, holiday 1:1s and exam masterclasses I run later in the year.

Learn Spanish in Beccles 🇪🇸

No sterile classrooms here. My adult Spanish classes take place in two lovely spaces in town:
☕ Old School Coffee Ltd and
🍷Printing Press

Here’s what my students say about learning here:
“Welcoming, cheerful and cosy – not like a classroom at all.”
“The coffee shop helps to put me at ease.”
“Parking is easy and the staff are really nice.”
“Good access and parking, important for me as I’m disabled.”

Learning Spanish isn’t just about vocab. It’s about feeling relaxed, confident and part of a friendly group 💛

The new term starts the week of 8th September. I’m looking forward to catching up with my returning learners and meeting some new faces too.

I’d love to welcome you into the group. Spaces are limited, so if you’d like to join us just send me a quick message today.

We’d love to have you with us.

My lovely Beccles group brought the language (and the laughs) to life at our Spanish Summer Social last week with a Spanish toast and they absolutely nailed it!

Tomorrow so many of my students will be opening their envelopes and I’m rooting for every single one of you!

I'm so proud of every student I’ve worked with this year.

Everyone has their own story for why they came to tuition.

💡 For some it was about building exam skills, confidence and motivation.

📘 For others it was filling gaps after time without a specialist MFL (French or Spanish) teacher.

🏡 Home educated students studying independently wanted more exam style practice to prep for the exams

⚡ Others just needed a short burst of support before exams.

This card that arrived in the post from one of my Year 11s made me smile so much.

Not only is the cow pun on the front brilliant (Moo-chas Grass-ias 🐄😂 )

but inside they used some fantastic Spanish like 'Si tuviera la oportunidad' and 'fue la leche' (which is an idiom that means “it was awesome”).

It reminded me of what really matters. Confidence. Resilience. Finding joy in the subject again.

💛 A special shout-out to all my GCSE Spanish and French students collecting results tomorrow, to their families, and to anyone with a teen waiting for results day. I’m thinking of you all.

I’ll really miss working with my Year 11s (unless they’re carrying on with A level of wanting more Spanish tuition!) but I’m so excited to see what comes next for them.

However results day looks in your house, try to celebrate the journey and the effort. It all counts, and this is only one step along the way.

Do let me know how results day goes for you. Whether you’re celebrating or rethinking your next steps, I’d love to hear your news.

My inbox will be open and I’ll be cheering you on either way.

Sam 💃🏼

(If you’ve got a child going into Year 10 or Year 11 Spanish and they could do with a confidence boost, exam practice and regular support, I’d love to help. My new small group classes start this September and there are still a few spaces available.)

Feeling very appreciated and a little bit spoiled too 💛

This thoughtful gift and kind card arrived from one of my Year 11 students and her lovely mum and it honestly made me a little emotional.

We started working together in Year 10 when she made the big decision to switch from French to Spanish. She had a lot to catch up on and very little support from school but she showed up every week and quietly kept going.

Through a mix of 1:1 sessions and group GCSE Spanish support we focused on building confidence, revisiting key content and developing the skills and strategies she needed to approach each paper with calm and clarity.

Reading the words “she felt confident going into the exam” meant so much. That’s what it’s all about.

I’ll definitely miss our sessions and this card is going straight into my little collection of kind notes from students and their families I’ve saved over the years.

If your teen is heading into Year 10 or 11 and could use some extra support with GCSE Spanish I’ve got a few spaces available from September.
(Very limited availability)
Feel free to message me if you’d like to know more.

I’m now off to enjoy my M&S cream tea with my Mum whose visiting me this morning before my busy afternoon of local classes and tuition 💛

I’ve pulled together some fun phrases you can throw into the mix

Whether you’re cheering for the Lionesses, supporting Spain, or just there for the snacks.

We’ve got goals, penalties, offside outrage, and a perfectly tame way to say “Damn!”

Bon courage to everyone doing French Writing Paper 4 today 🇫🇷✍️

You’ve worked so hard and made so much progress. I’m really proud of everything you’ve done.

Take your time with the questions and read the bullet points carefully. Make sure you’re clear on what each one is asking before you get started.

Use the strategies we’ve practised to help shape your answers and show off what you know. Keep things calm and steady, and trust yourself. You’re ready for this.

Some of you I’ve supported throughout your full GCSE studies, others just for a little while, and it’s always a bit bittersweet as you head off to the next big thing. Unless you’re staying on for A Level, of course.

But its been an absolute pleasure being part of your language journey and to see how much more confident you’ve become in using your French and applying the exam strategies we’ve practised along the way 💪

I’ll be thinking of you today.

Let me know how it goes, I’m here if you need anything

Thinking of all my Year 11 GCSE French students as it’s the Listening and Reading exams today 🇫🇷

Here’s a little message from my wonderful student Maya to remind you that you’ve got this!

After today you will be 75% the way through your French GCSE with just the writing paper left 💪

It’s been an absolute honour and pleasure seeing you all grow in confidence and dedicate your time and efforts to improving your French language and exam skills.

Sam 💃🏼
