Tutors
Martin Holmes, who lives in
Sabinillas, offers a range of Educational Services.
Firstly, Home Tutors is intended
for school students, of both Primary and Secondary age, in Spanish
or international schools, who need support with their schoolwork
or require extra challenges. Lesson can take place in the student's
own home.
The normal full range of Primary
academic subjects is covered, with a focus on language work at
Secondary level. As well as Spanish and English, tuition is available
in French and German. Students now in Spanish schools, as well
as receiving support with Spanish language, both academic and
social, can also be helped with UK national curriculum subject-work
including maths, science, English language and literature, and
specifically the spelling and composition skills so easily neglected
once working in a new language.
The requirement of those with
special needs are taken into account, whilst at the other end
of the spectrum, several students whose parents felt that an "extra
push" was needed, either in existing subjects or in new areas
such as an extra language, have seen the benefits.
GCSE and A-level courses are
offered and students entered for the exam at nearby local centres.
Home tuition is also offered
for adults who prefer to learn Spanish or another language on
an individual basis.
Spanish Group Classes
These are held on an informal
basis in Sabinillas. There are two lessons per week, each of one-and-a-half
hours, on Mondays and Wednesdays. One group meets in the morning,
the other in the evening (especially popular with those who work).
The teaching approach is varied
and flexible with a range of up-to-date communicative materials
use that cover the four skills of listening, speaking, reading
and writing within a clear functional and structured syllabus.
Part of the lesson time is devoted to any specific areas of difficulty
experienced, often being proposed by the students themselves.
