This week Profesora Irvine is going global! From my small home office in Bolton I will be teaching students of all ages and abilities as well as experienced teaching professionals in one of the world’s top international schools.
This week I presented two Keynote courses for teachers of A Level Spanish. On Thursday it was "Teaching AQA Spanish Paper 2: Film and Literature" and on Friday it was " Pearson A Level Spanish: Aiming for A* and A". It was enjoyable to be working with very able and dedicated Spanish teachers, and to share my knowledge, experience and Top Tips!
I spent a day last week with 230 Year 10 and 11 girls at Bentley Wood High School in Harrow. A whole day of Spanish is a challenge for anyone and these girls were really involved and enthusiastic.
This week I am launching my five-week Beginners' Spanish Courses for Golfers. Starting in January 2020, each 90-minute module is designed to teach you to communicate basic Spanish in typical holiday situations. There’s no need for any prior experience; just come along to learn in a fun and friendly environment. All teaching and learning materials are included in the price of £85. Payment must be made in full in advance. Places are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
