About Me
Hi! I'm Alex (33), a certified English teacher working in Mexico. I SPECIALISE IN ACADEMIC ENGLISH, reviewing essays/theses/CVs/documents, pronunciation coaching, and general grammar and conversation practice etc. I really love to teach and I find it an absolute joy to meet new people and to see students progress and succeed in their challenges.
– I have lots of experience teaching privately here in Mexico, in classrooms as well as online online. I have taught all ages and all levels during my career, so whatever your needs I can provide a class tailored for you.
– I was born in Derbyshire in the centre of England, so I have a very neutral British accent and I can inform you about various British accents, as well as other accents found in English internationally.
– I am well-versed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and I can use this in your classes if you like.
– Teaching in the Americas has given me a unique vantage point for explaining differences between British and American English.
– ¿Su lengua materna es español? ¡Puedo resolver cualquier duda que usted tenga!
**SPECIALISATION: ACADEMIC ENGLISH**
"Alex has assisted me in writing and reviewing scientific articles and in preparing for presentations. He has given me very good guidance in these tasks."
– R. Tovar, Researcher in Fluid Dynamics at the Institute of Renewable Energy, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
– Are you an international student attending university in an English-speaking country, or just thinking of applying? Let's talk! A particular passion of mine is academic English.
– I have a Master's Degree in Anthropology from an English University, and all the experience of writing essays in English which that brings.
– I have coached students at all levels and from a variety of countries, and have assisted University professors here in México in writing articles for English-language peer review journals.
– If there is one ability as a teacher that I take pride in it's my attention to detail in helping you craft the best sentences and overall structure for your academic work. I will value the quality of your essay as if it were my own!
– I can help you with appropriate paraphrasing and citation from articles that won't get you in trouble for plagiarism.
– I can also teach you about format, referencing and bibliography customs. Having a native speaker with academic experience check your work can make a huge difference!
At your service, looking forward to meeting you!
