About Me

Hi, my name is Donna and my passion is teaching! I am a native English speaker from the United States. I have lived in Canada for several years and just recently moved to Spain in September of 2023. If you need help with your Business English or learning English for travel/personal use, I can definitely help you. I am very patient and enjoy tailoring my lessons to make them relevant and interesting. Through lessons, homework, and practice we can work together to achieve your English proficiency goals.

My trial lessons

During your trial lesson it is a good time for us to discuss your current English level, your goals, and work together to create a learning plan. I can pull up sample materials, have a mini lesson, etc. My goal is for us to get to know each other and make sure we are a good team before you commit to purchasing lessons. I like to customize the lessons to be what you need to advance in your English skills. I hope to meet you soon!
