About me - English
I am an English teacher from London with 4 years of experience teaching.
I absolutely love meeting new people and teaching them English. Moreover, there is nothing more rewarding than to give people a valuable skill in life, and a way of understanding different cultures.
I am a friendly, positive, and patient person. I want to use my skills to enrich others lives; whether it is to open gateways for new job prospects, or just to help them achieve a personal goal.
Qualifications & Experience
I completed an Advanced TEFL course before moving to Spain in 2012 and I have recently completed the CELTA course.
Once I had accomplished Vaughan Systems training in Madrid I then went on to work for the company as a freelance company based English teacher throughout the city. This was held with business professional students of all levels for both 1-2-1 and large group classes.
I am now working with students on a 1-2-1 basis or in groups that want to learn Business English, pass CAE, PET, FCE or get a good level at the IELTS test, and even students that just need to learn general English.
Teaching Approach
My approach is always to put each student's goals first. Each class I give is adapted to the individual’s needs. While achieving these targets I pinpoint any weaknesses or problem areas and give them support and guidance on how to correct these mistakes.
I follow a method and material that incorporates grammar, speaking, pronunciation, listening and some writing. I encourage homework exercises as well.
I firmly believe learning is about having fun too so my classes include conversations and discussions about trending topics or news articles of particular interest.
