About Me

I am a BRITISH ENGLISH teacher on Verbling and living and working in the south of Spain, so I speak English and Spanish fluently. I teach all levels from A1 to C2, with experience teaching both adults and children (13+), all of whom I can prepare for exams such as the IELTS and CAMBRIDGE, and others.

I am highly motivated and genuinely love teaching. I focus on building confidence in my students in a fun and friendly atmosphere. As a student, your language journey is unique, so I design my classes on an individual and personalised basis. This means that you are able to advance your skills and gain access to the English-speaking world in the most productive and effective way possible.

I am fluent in Spanish and have been learning since childhood, therefore I am aware of every step of the language-learning process and teach my students many tips and tricks for learning another language. I specialise in idioms, as I believe that both the academic and non-academic sides of learning a language are equally important in learning both the language AND the culture too.

I have a degree in English and Spanish from a prestigious British university and I have a wide range of experience as I teacher, having worked in Spain and Colombia, at a university, high school, primary school, academies, and private classes both in-person and online. Combining my experience online and in-person, I have taught students from 60+ countries which continuously enriches my teaching abilities through interaction all nationalities, ages, and levels.

I thrive on new experiences, and each student provides me with different challenges and rewards. The journey to fluency in another language is a wonderful journey, and as a fellow language-learner, (I am also currently studying French and other languages,) I encourage my students to work hard and enjoy the ride every step of the way, with constant support from myself: a teacher who is also a friend.
