About Me
Hello! I’m Declan, a native English teacher from Ireland, CELTA-certified (Cambridge), and hold an honours Business degree from the University of London.
With 15+ years of experience teaching students worldwide, I’m currently based in Queretaro, Mexico but have taught in Madrid and Dublin too. I specialize in conversation classes that help you improve fluency, build confidence, and make learning fun! I focus on error correction in a supportive way, ensuring you stay motivated and speak as much as possible.
I’ve helped many students achieve excellent results in IELTS, FCE, and CAE exams, with a focus on speaking, writing, and vocabulary. No matter your level, I offer a relaxed, enjoyable approach to improve any aspect of your English.
My classes include:
- Grammar lessons
- Exam preparation (IELTS, FCE, CAE)
- Conversation practice
- New vocabulary & phrasal verbs
- Business English & interview prep
When I’m not teaching, I love sports, staying fit, and mixing electronic music!
Book a trial lesson, and we’ll discuss your goals, assess your level, and create a plan just for you. If you enjoy the class, leave a rating. See you in class soon!
My trial lessons
In our trial class, we’ll discuss your goals for learning English and any areas you'd like to focus on, such as conversation, exams, or business English. I’ll assess your current level through speaking exercises to understand your strengths and areas for improvement. I’ll explain my supportive teaching methods, focusing on communication, error correction, and engaging topics. By the end, you’ll have a clear plan for your lessons to help you reach your objectives and make progress confidently.

This was my first class with Declan. Declan is a nice teacher with patience to our mistakes and errors. We started with a general conversation and then practice some grammar and vocabulary. This seemed a very interesting and challenging way of learning English so I'll definitely book another class. Thanks Declan.
