My lessons are perfect if you want to gain confidence speaking and listening, or are preparing for a Spanish exam.
I am very friendly and patient. There are no pre-requisites for Spanish lessons with me.
My teaching method varies depending on the student's age, level, learning goal, and cultural background.
My teaching style emphasises speaking and listening from the start.
I know what it's like to learn a foreign language! It can be really intimidating! That's why I make sure that there is no pressure.
I completed the course Teaching Spanish as a Second Language for levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 in 2016, accredited by Cervantes Institute. This gave me the skills and real classroom experience to confidently teach Spanish no matter what your native language is or level of Spanish.
I am also a qualified primary school teacher. I have been living in the UK for 5 years working as a teacher in a primary school. I have taught Spanish in different levels, to children from 4 to 11 years old, KS3, GCSE and adults with different levels.
I have been a Spanish Private Tutor for the past 5 years.
DBS checked + Qualified Teacher Status
For students willing to take advance lessons the rate would be £25/hour.
I do not charge for cancelation. I understand that sometimes we can't control things so we can arrange the lesson for another time.

Desam is passioned about teaching and very patient with all my questions. I know her Because I was studying English in Exeter, UK. I Hoped to learn second foreign languages and friends told me that they have learned Spanish from her, and it was very good. that's how I START learning from her.
She is very nice person that I feel ease when I learn from her. and it's makes me learn better.
As a Spanish native speaker, her english is very close to native and it helps a lot when I learn from her.
I recommend the student who want to learn Spanish to learn from her, because she is experienced teacher and knows how to guide you. It's what we need when we learn a new language .
Desam puts you on the right path to your goal based on her rich teaching experience. One of my goals was to take DELE exam for the first time. She offered me great guidance to get myself ready for the test. I'm glad I followed her advice on the DELE I took which was one level higher than I initially thought. I continue learning from her and my next goal is to pass B2.
She gives you the homework/exercises which make you push yourself, but that is what you need if you want to improve your command of languages. I enjoy speaking practice with her as well as getting my compositions corrected by her.
