About the tutor
I am a professional English teacher from the United Kingdom, currently living in Valencia, Spain. I focus on the needs of individual students and help them to reach their goals. In my spare time I go running and rock climbing.
I love the English language and understand how annoying it can be at times too. It is my goal to make the language less annoying for learners of English.
I have been teaching for more than a decade and a half, both in the classroom and, in recent years, online. I hold multiple teaching certificates, including a CELTA (University of Cambridge/Cambridge English). I have taught for thousands of hours in physical classrooms and, at the time of writing, over 4000 hours online.
I have taught students of all ages and from approximately 40 different countries. I like to mix conversational practice with explanations of grammar and themes to expand vocabulary and supplement these with exercises to be done outside of class.
The specific approach for each student obviously depends both on the goals of the student - to take a specific exam, have a job interview, speak at a conference etc. - and also on the starting level of the student.
Occasionally, I teach couples online either together, if their levels of English are similar, or separately.
Book a trial lesson with me, or send me a message, if you want to talk about taking classes with me or if you have any questions.
A trial lesson can be useful, whether or not you choose to continue studying with me, as it will help you to determine your current level of English and to predict how many classes you might need to reach your goals.
