Who I am

My name is Rosa Iglesias the Founder of Caramba. 
I´m Specialist Spanish GCSE and A level -Qualified Examiner for exam boards. ******Spanish Native speaker from Spain living in North London.


Qualified teacher with Master in teaching Spanish as second language with excellent strategies teaching complex grammar. Specialist on GCSE exams providing techniques and tips to get higher marks in your exams; Secondary, GCSE, A-level, Further, IB, Pre-U Expert on A level and Qualified examiner for exam boards. Being a student of English, Italian, Mandarin and French myself, this allows me to put myself in my students shoes by understanding how the student feels and things that are useful to stick to learning a language.


 I moved to the vibrant and cosmopolitan City of London in 2015 and I have taught MFL (French up to KS3 and Spanish up to A level) in mainstream education and since then I have become an expert in teaching Spanish GCSE and A-Level, preparing students to do AQA exam board. Being a native speaker allows my students to take me as a reference and have a role model so they can copy from me and pronounce accurately, using Spanish expressions. I’m a perfectionist, always patient and I give lots of support to my students but also correct them in order to allow them to improve, supporting their process of learning. I’m incredibly passionate about languages and different cultures. 

I love Spanish culture as I grew up there and I have been living in Spain for more than 30 years, however, I’m a person who loves exploring and meeting people from all over the world and I've been lucky enough to live and travel in different countries. I have already lived in Italy, Canada and China where I really needed to learn their language from scratch and I challenged myself and I can now even speak Mandarin.

 I‘m a supportive, encouraging but rigorous tutor. I love travelling, studying languages (French, Italian and Chinese) swimming, running, doing yoga and cycling. I also enjoy spending time with friends and going to theatre and musicals and I love cooking, eating healthily and even better if I can eat in the park in the sunshine with friends. Hope to hear from you very very soon. QTS and DBS also provided if you request in advance.
