GCSE & A-level Spanish tutoring

Taught by someone who has sat on the other side of the mark scheme.

One-to-one Spanish tutoring with Alicia Enders — 25 years of teaching experience and a practising AQA examiner. I know exactly what separates a grade 6 from a grade 9, and I teach students to close that gap.

About Alicia

25 years in the classroom — and in the marking room.

Alicia Enders has spent 25 years teaching and tutoring Spanish at GCSE and A-level, and works as an examiner for AQA — giving her a rare, up-to-date view of exactly how exam papers are marked and where students most often lose marks.

She holds an LL.B and LL.M alongside a PGCE, bringing a precise, structured approach to language teaching that students preparing for high-stakes exams particularly respond to.

✏️ Needs a personal paragraph: a couple of sentences in your own voice — why you love teaching Spanish, your teaching style, or what led you from law into education — will make this section feel like you, not a template. I've kept the credentials factual above; this is the bit only you can write.

Why it matters

Why an examiner, specifically?

Most tutors teach the language. Fewer can tell you precisely how a mark scheme rewards it.

Mark scheme fluency

Exactly what earns the mark

Knowing the mark scheme from the inside means lessons focus on the phrasing, structure and detail examiners are actually trained to reward.

Common pitfalls

The mistakes that cost grades

Years of marking real scripts reveals the patterns that quietly cap a student's grade — and how to correct them well before the exam.

Exam technique

Past papers, done properly

Timed practice under real exam conditions, reviewed with an examiner's eye — not just a right-or-wrong check.

Speaking & writing

Every paper, covered

Structured preparation across listening, reading, writing and the speaking exam, tailored to AQA's format.

Tutoring

GCSE and A-level Spanish, one-to-one

Sessions are built around each student's exam board, current level, and target grade.

Key Stage 4

GCSE Spanish

Building solid foundations and exam technique for AQA GCSE Spanish, from early study through to final revision.

  • Grammar and vocabulary built for the exam, not just fluency
  • Reading, writing, listening and speaking practice
  • Past paper practice with examiner-style marking
  • Foundation and Higher tier support
Key Stage 5

A-level Spanish

In-depth preparation for AQA A-level Spanish, including essay technique, literature/film topics and the independent research project.

  • Advanced grammar, tenses and idiomatic language
  • Essay structure for literature and film papers
  • Speaking exam and IRP preparation
  • University-application-level fluency building
✏️ Worth confirming: do you tutor other exam boards besides AQA (Edexcel, Eduqas)? And are sessions online, in person, or both? I've written this section AQA-first since you mentioned examining for them — let me know if it needs broadening.
Testimonials

What students and parents say

"[Sample testimonial — replace with a real quote from a student or parent about their experience and results.]"

— Parent, GCSE student

"[Sample testimonial — a line about specific progress, e.g. a grade improvement or exam confidence, is especially persuasive.]"

— A-level student

"[Sample testimonial — even a short WhatsApp message from a happy parent, quoted with permission, works well here.]"

— Parent, A-level student
✏️ Needs real testimonials: these three are placeholders. Even two or three short, genuine quotes (with first name and permission) will do more for credibility here than anything else on the page — this is worth prioritising before the site goes live.
