Are you looking forward to being guided to produce your own original, creative material? Hopefully you’re interested in my work as a preparadora because you’re looking for an alternative to the big academies and publishers which share the same old topics and syllabuses with their candidates year after year. If that’s the case, this course has been developed for you.

I hear colleagues who’ve sat on tribunals complain about the sheer amount of memorized topics opositores produce. By the end of the process, they are able to identify which academia the material has come from after reading just the first line of an essay. In comparison, they tell me that original topics that haven’t come from an editorial are like a breath of fresh air.

During this course for inglés secundaria, all of the material I provide for you works as a guide to help you develop your own material and show you examples of what you need to produce. However, the tribunal is looking for originality, so you need to make it your own from the start. Furthermore, if you’ve developed your own material, you’ll be able to explain it much more coherently than if it’s something created by someone else.

While I teach relatively few candidates each year in comparison to big academies, the possibility of ending up in the same tribunal as other Let’s Pass the Opos students always exists. That’s why I prefer not to beat around the bush and ensure that you know, from the start, that the only way to guarantee success in the oposiciones is to prepare everything in your own way, with my help, of course. Indeed, that’s the main objective of Let’s Pass the Opos.

This might sound harsh, but it’s something I feel very strongly about, and you’ll see me reiterating this point as the weeks go on. It’s genuinely because I want you to understand that if you want to pass and you want to get your plaza, this is what you need to do. OWN IT AND THE WORLD WILL BE YOURS!
