About the Tutor:

Raquel Hernanz is a Spanish native speaker with over 8 years of experience teaching Spanish as second language in Dublin. She is currently a Spanish Teacher at Instituto Cervantes She has recently finished a postgraduate course on Applying new technologies to teaching second languages.

One of the reasons she loves teaching Spanish as second language is that she realises how satisfying it is to be able to order a drink at a restaurant, be able to ask for the price or ask for directions when you are on holidays. That is a positive experience for the person travelling but also for the locals, who really appreciate the effort a tourist is making.
