About Lydia
I love teaching Spanish and seeing my students overcome the barriers to learning a second language and succeeding. As an experienced Secondary school teacher, I'm friendly, approachable and passionate about what I do. I deliver high-quality tutoring tailored to each of my student's goals and needs. My work experience includes teaching Spanish, French & English in the UK, Spain (Madrid) and Australia. I have over 6 years experience teaching Spanish specifically and now specialise in teaching IB Spanish. I consistently receive great feedback from both students and parents and ensure that lines of communication are always open so that students feel they can speak out when they don't understand to ensure they get the most out of their tutoring sessions. In my spare time, I love to be outdoors, either surfing or hiking.

You can expect our lessons to be fun and light, yet effective and intentional. I am experienced in teaching beginner Spanish to both children and adults.

I specialise in preparing students for the IB Spanish exams, and have experience teaching both Ab Initio and Higher Level. I regularly create and deliver IB Spanish-style assessments covering all 4 language skill sets: oral assessment, written assessment, listening assessment and reading assessment.

Lydia tutored both of my children through the Year 11 and Year 12 Spanish IB course. Lydia knew the content extremely well and was able to teach effectively, preparing both my son and daughter for the oral, written, and comprehension exams required by the IB. Both of my children’s results reflected Lydia’s excellent teaching. Lydia was flexible when needed and extremely reliable. She communicated exceptionally well with my children and with me when necessary. We felt fortunate to have had Lydia as part of our team supporting our children through their education journey.
Lydia was my tutor for IB Spanish, and I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. She’s one of the most understanding and kind teachers you could ever ask for. She knew the syllabus inside and out, and easily adapted to all learning styles and abilities. I have truly never been taught a language so well; lessons were always super engaging and at the right level. She was amazing at figuring out how to help you with weaker areas in the language. Couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone learning!
Lydia was an incredible Spanish teacher who made learning enjoyable and engaging. Her lessons were interactive, incorporating music and culture that truly brought the language to life. She is patient and tailors her approach to fit individual learning styles, making complex concepts easy to grasp. Thanks to her support and encouragement, I gained confidence in my Spanish skills. I highly recommend her as a tutor for anyone looking to learn or improve their Spanish!
Lydia is an amazing teacher. She is passionate about teaching Spanish and you can sense it in the lessons. I’ve never known a language teacher to get the message across the way Lydia does, and she has made learning a language so much more accessible to me. Can’t recommend enough!
Lydia is a great teacher. We met in Madrid and she gave me Spanish lessons over coffees and conversations.
We have kept in touch and now she is in Australia. She is kind when giving corrections and gives helpful support when I am struggling with phrasing. I would recommend Lydia to anyone wanting to learn and practise Spanish. You won’t regret it.Lydia was my Spanish teacher for two years and continues to tutor me in Spanish. She is well-paced and friendly and it is obvious that she is genuinely passionate about the Spanish culture. Lydia has been invaluable in helping me work on and teaching me Spanish - across all speaking, listening, writing, and reading areas. I highly recommend her as a tutor.
Lydia was my Spanish teacher at the beginning of the year, and she is the one who first ever taught me. She is incredibly well paced, and understands which topics require more attention due to its level of difficulty. She can make learning enjoyable, yet also makes sure you are in fact improving in Spanish. I recommend her to anyone else wanting to learn Spanish because she knows what she's doing, and is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Lydia was my Spanish teacher. The half of the year in which she taught me, I learnt a lot . She is organized and direct yet incredibly caring. I highly recommend her
Lydia was my Spanish teacher for almost 2 years and she was unreal. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, supportive and welcoming teacher. She goes at the pace you need her to go whist pushing you to be your best. Any student would be lucky to have her.
I honestly wouldn’t have been able to pass the Spanish Course for the International Baccalaureate without Lydia. She offers everything to her students; time, support and most importantly passion. I fell in love with the Spanish language and culture because of her and am now majoring in it at University. She is extremely understanding and patient and for that I will always be grateful.
Ms Sykes taught me IB Spanish ab initio throughout Years 11 and 12. I have learnt many different languages throughout my schooling, but Spanish was by far my favourite in no small part due to Ms Syke’s relaxed yet diligent teaching style, and her precise understanding of the curriculum, assessments and what needed to be achieved by our class in order to do well in the subject. Her anecdotes of her Spanish studies and years in Spain inspired students to keep persisting with Spanish, and the content was always set out in a way that was straight to the point, easy to digest and accompanied by interesting discussions and infographics which made the content stick.
Lydia is a very professional and competent teacher that I have been working with for the last few years.
She is very patient, kind and helpful with all the students and that makes the learning more enjoyable!
I would recommend her.View more recommendations
