I grew up in Madrid and moved to Ireland at sixteen, so I sat the Leaving Certificate as a native Spanish speaker and achieved 100% in the subject.
I now study Financial Mathematics and Economics at University of Galway, where I completed first year with first-class honours, and I have been tutoring for two years. Because I sat the examination recently, I know the current syllabus and marking scheme in detail, and I speak the language natively. Few tutors offer both.
What the sessions cover
- Oral preparation with a native speaker. The oral accounts for 25% of the final grade and rewards genuine fluency over memorisation.
- Written and comprehension. Essay structure, timing under exam conditions, and the vocabulary and phrasing that examiners reward.
- Listening. Aural technique, and sustained exposure to native-speed Spanish.
- Grammar. Tenses, the subjunctive, and the recurring errors that quietly cost marks.
Higher and Ordinary Level, fifth year, sixth year and repeat students.
What students say
Writing, listening and speaking with a native speaker makes a real difference in the Leaving Cert. I saw an improvement in every aspect of the course, and you are given plenty of material to practise between sessions.
Luke helped me focus on the parts of the course I found difficult, and it gave me more confidence going into the exam. I would definitely recommend Spanish grinds with him.
Since starting grinds with Luke I noticed a tremendous improvement in my grades and my overall understanding. He took the time to make sure I understood everything, tailored his notes and lessons to the areas I struggled with, and was flexible around my schedule. I would definitely recommend him.
