Full Course Information
You will receive material to prepare the 69 topics from the temario during the course, which includes plans, resources and full essay examples.
My philosophy has always been to make sure my candidates learn to write excellent essays and produce the topics themselves using my materials and plans, ensuring unique submissions on exam day to wow the tribunal, instead of the same old topics regurgitated by academies and publishing houses. Nevertheless, life can often get in the way and not everyone has the time to produce every essay from scratch. Therefore, I also offer full original essay examples which you can use as a basis to adapt for your own needs and help speed the process up when you’re strapped for time.
As far as the practical or language part of the exam is concerned, we’ll be working on translations, text analysis, use of English, listening comprehension, creative writing, reading comprehension, phonetics, teaching situations, and general everyday English. This part of the exam varies depending on the region, but we cover everything just in case, as there can be changes made from year to year.
These activities will be explained and then corrected the following week in class, with detailed explanations on the class videos as well as written answer sheets and examples, with follow-up in the forums. Each week, we will also be working on full practical exams using the most recent real “past papers” from exams across Spain. I usually provide short and long activities for you to choose from, depending on the time you have available.
Regarding the syllabus and units, the key to passing this part of the exam is to create your own, original syllabus. Being an active secondary school teacher, I am fully up to date with the legal requirements of the syllabus. We’ll work on that step by step from the beginning. I’ll provide you with the contents page which we will add to each week, going through everything thoroughly. Obviously the syllabus content and laws change in different regions and we will pay great attention to this – I won’t just give you something to copy and paste without explaining it – I’ll make sure you know exactly what you’re talking about and know how to read and interpret the legal documents and legislation, which will make you more confident in the presentation too. I’ll show you examples of each part and give you templates and ideas – all based on my own LOMLOE syllabus, but guiding you so that you can prepare your own original syllabus and units. Although I encourage interaction, I would never ask anyone to show their material to other students unless they wanted to.
Once we’ve finished working on the syllabus and units, we’ll move onto preparing the presentation of the syllabus and then the teaching units. I have an extensive, well-prepared guide for this (video and written) which makes it a lot easier to prepare than you’d imagine and includes tips and tricks that wow the tribunal. All my students who have presented and passed in the past few years have received high marks in the syllabus and unit presentation. My training doesn’t just include content but also coaching to understand exactly what the tribunal is looking for and tips from colleagues who have sat on tribunals in the past.
Classes are pre-recorded and uploaded every Monday morning so you don’t have to be available at a specific time – you can watch them when you want, and they remain accessible for the rest of the school year until the end of summer (free access in July and August), as do all the other materials. We work on every part of the process from the start so that you can organise your own study. That way no one will have to wait to start preparing the syllabus or studying the topics, which is what tends to happen in other academies. We also offer monthly live classes online, which are useful for question-and-answer sessions and moral support. These will be organised according to student and teacher availability.
Many people believe that by using this online approach they will miss out on the interaction of a normal class, but this is absolutely not the case, and given the recent pandemic, we have seen that online teaching is the only guaranteed approach where you won’t have to worry about classes being cancelled. Technology allows us to do wonderful things these days.
I encourage interaction via email, where you can ask questions and receive answers. I aim to respond quickly so that you don’t have to wait until the following week for a response.
I understand it can be complicated preparing these exams, especially as most of us have to balance our time between work, family and other issues. In fact, many of my students work full time and have young children, yet this hasn’t stopped the majority of them from obtaining their teaching positions. My firm belief is that the oposiciones system does not have to be as stressful or confusing as many people find it. In fact, with effective preparation, we can convert the whole process into an enjoyable learning experience, with guidance and support every step of the way.
I’ll help you to organise your timetable to make the most of the course and your exam preparation.

Opinions
Thanks as always for everything, Candy. I completely share the way you teach and that’s why I couldn’t be happier to have ended up with you as my preparadora.
M.R. Comunidad Valenciana 2023
I just wanted to let you know that not only did I pass but I got one of the positions, which I thought was impossible first time. I still can't believe it. Thank you so much for all your support. Your guidance with my syllabus and didactic units allowed me to get the second highest score in my tribunal.
A. H. Madrid 2021
Este año he conseguido mi plaza gracias a Candy. A pesar de ser online, Candy consiguió que fuera muy fácil seguir las clases y mantener la motivación hasta el final. La organización del curso permite estudiar los temas y preparar la programación en el tiempo adecuado y, además, el hecho de que los temas sean únicos hace que sea más fácil recordarlos y sorprender al tribunal. Muy recomendable.
B.B. Castilla y León 2021
Just to let you know I got a 9,7 in the second exam (also thanks to your great advice on how to build a syllabus from scratch!). I was top mark in my tribunal again!! Thanks, thanks, thanks. Every little piece of advice I got from you really, truly, worked!
V.R. Asturias 2021
I will recommend you to anyone who asks for advice. The videos where a former student did a mock defense of her syllabus and units were useful because i felt like I could totally do that myself, and that goes a long way to building self-confidence.
R.A. Cantabria 2021
Sadly, I won't continue with LPTO because I passed the opos!!! I wanted to thank you for everything, you have been really helpful. I have enjoyed your classes so much, your energy and the love and effort that you put into this course. It's really fun watching your videos and your tips are GOLD. Thank you so much for everything Candy!
C.C. Cataluña 2021
I’ve learnt a lot with you, not only for the oposiciones, but also for my job. And I’ll try to put all that in practice as soon as I can. It’s been a pleasure to have you at the other side of the screen all this time. Your advice and opinions have been really important for me and I’m sure they’ve been very important to reach this moment.
P.V. Murcia / Comunidad Valenciana 2021
I started my first "opos" preparation with Candy. I was quite lost and didn't even know where to begin. The way she worked dividing topics, practice exercises and syllabus in a weekly fashion was quite helpful. Without Candy's help, I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to get a plaza.
M.G. Castilla La Mancha 2021
I truly recommend Candy if you are seeking a preparadora for your English state exams. She is a caring, knowledgeable, hard-working preparadora that will make the preparation process for the exam much simpler. I believe that her methodology, although tough, really gets you ready to achieve the best outcomes, as long as you work hard.
J.G. Cantabria 2021
I have been very happy with your lessons. You are a great teacher, and I am very very grateful for your classes. Thank you for everything you have taught me, I couldn’t have done it without your help.
M.R. Extremadura 2021
An outstanding professional and a nice person. Candy is well-organised and offers you high-quality materials. Besides guiding you through the learning process, she does her best to support you by attending to your individual needs, offering advice, encouragement, and providing you with useful feedback. I highly recommend her!
L.M. Comunidad Valenciana 2021
I am pleased to tell you that I got a teaching position in the Oposiciones Examinations in Aragón. I just want to thank you for all your materials and teaching that led me to achieve my objective. I will of course talk about you to some of my friends who didn't pass and maybe they will be interested in joining you.
R.T. Aragón 2021
¡La mejor preparadora para las opos! If you're thinking about having a coach who helps you in this difficult process, Candy is the best. Her preparation was an excellent help for my Oposiciones this year. I'll always be so grateful.
A.M. Castilla y León 2018
Candy has been my cornerstone this year. She provided me with the support I needed to cope with this whole oposiciones process. Without her I wouldn't have been able to pass. I definitely recommend her to prepare oposiciones in a sensible and intelligent way.
