WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH? START HERE! WANT TO LEARN SPANISH, SEE BELOW!

I currently live in Spain and have taught for ten years here, both in private language schools and as a private tutor. I have also taught on an academic English programme and a summer school programme for teenagers in the UK and at secondary school in Thailand.

I have a lot of experience teaching all ages and levels. My current students range from a four-year-old learning Spanish to a student preparing for the highest-level Cambridge exam. I teach business, general and exam English, and tailor each class to the individual or group. I am also a Spanish to English translator, so I can help you to create translations or perfect your work, if this is what you need.

I get a lot of reviews from students telling me how much more confident they feel after having classes with me, and I get huge pleasure from seeing their improvement. If you feel nervous about speaking English, frustrated with your level or have any negative associations with English, my friendly style and years of experience in helping students achieve their goals could be just what you need. Likewise, if you love English and just want to keep getting better and better, I am your woman! However you feel about English now, my infectious passion for the language will get you to the next level and really enjoying the experience!

In my classes, you will speak the language as much as possible and enjoy activities designed to help you improve in the ways you need.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact!

WANT TO LEARN SPANISH?

Learning Spanish has been the most rewarding experience of my life and I want to share that joy with you!

If I can do it, you can too! I used to be too embarrassed about my mistakes and accent to be able to speak. I felt silly whenever I didn't understand what people were saying and I often got tongue-tied. Now, I speak fluent Spanish and am a qualified Spanish to English translator! The key is to focus on ways to navigate difficult situations and learn to feel proud of yourself for small victories. They all add up and soon you find loads of things starting to click in your brain! There's honestly nothing more satisfying. It takes effort and time, but I promise you, it's so worth it!

I'm a qualified English teacher and have taught for over ten years now. I apply this methodology, plus my own experience as a Spanish student, to help you achieve your goals. I have been a Spanish tutor for a couple of years, hold the DELE C1 Advanced certificate in Spanish and am married to a Spaniard!

If you have a high level of Spanish, I'd recommend you look for a native teacher, but if you are just starting out or have an intermediate level and are feeling stuck, I can help! I have a friendly, empathetic style and I know exactly how embarrassing it can be to speak, so you can be assured that I will always be kind to you. Let me help you achieve your Spanish dreams!
