About Me

I am originally from Ireland, but have taught in Spain, Russia and Africa. I have two small children myself so I know how difficult it is to sometimes engage kids in learning! With that in mind I keep my lessons lively and interactive. All learners prefer to study with a smile on their face, which is what I strive for.

I also believe that in the correct environment, all students can make progress. This involves identifying the learners preferred strategies and building their confidence.

I have a basic understanding of Spanish and speak competent Russian as well as my native English.

Growing up bilingual in German and English was as challenging as it was exciting and an experience that inspired my love for languages. Now I would love to share my knowledge on effortlessly mastering the ins and outs of these two infamous languages with you!

The lessons are hands-on, easily understandable and true-to-life, so you can go and use what you've learned right away. Moreover, I like to customise the lessons to the topics and hobbies that interest you so that we can build progress on familiar sole, have you make better connections to the language and have an overall better learning experience.

If it works with your schedule, I would also strongly recommend that we make homework a part of your class structure.

I am confident we can use whatever foundation and experiences you have to help you meet your language goals - whether you just want to smooth out the kinks or start from the very beginning.

You and I can figure this out together!

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats.
Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Por las mañanas trabajo en una empresa de telemárketing en BCN en un ambiente multicultural donde el inglés es nuestra lengua vehicular y a partir de las 16h tengo disponibilidad.

Actualmente soy profesor de inglés en la Academia English Studio, en Cornellà de Llobregat en turno de tardes. Todos los niveles y edades. Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano.

My name is Xavier.
I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home.

Professional Objective: English teacher.

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

**Art Classes for Kids in English 🎨**

Hello! I’m Emma, an art teacher with training in art therapy offering private, in-home creative sessions for children (ages 3+). My classes combine art, play, and English in a relaxed, pressure-free environment where kids can explore, create, and express themselves freely.

**What to expect**
Each 60-minute session includes:
• A short chat to connect and warm up in English.
• A creative process with art-making, games, and exploration.
• A closing moment to reflect and share about what we created.

Some sessions follow a fun theme (like building an underwater world and learning related vocabulary), while others are open-ended for free expression and play.

**My approach**
Guided by my background in art therapy, the sessions focus on:
• Building confidence and self-expression.
• Learning English through natural conversation and listening.
• Developing creativity, curiosity, and emotional awareness.

All materials are provided, kids just need their imagination!
Classes take place at your home and last 1 hour.

If you’d like your child to learn English through creativity, play, and exploration, I’d love to hear from you 🌸

This English or Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) course is designed for students who are eager to learn the language effectively and dynamically, whether starting from scratch or expanding their linguistic horizons. Students will work on their speaking, reading comprehension, listening, and writing skills. They will also develop the grammatical knowledge appropriate to their required level. Similarly, students interested in a specific aspect of the language, such as Business English, will receive targeted training with various examples of specific vocabulary. If students wish to improve their speaking skills, the class emphasizes conversation, colloquial expressions, informal language, and spoken idioms. Numerous real-life examples are provided in the form of dialogues, stories, and narratives, encouraging students to speak and participate in conversations using this new information and the vocabulary recently learned in class to solidify their knowledge through practice.

Hi, my name is Daniele. I’m 24 years old, a native English and Russian speaker, and I’ve lived in four different countries while traveling extensively around the world. Being exposed to different cultures, people, and ways of thinking has shaped both how I communicate and how I teach.

I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and have a strong academic foundation in English. I help students improve their English from basic to intermediate level, whether the goal is conversation, grammar, writing, essays, or homework support. My focus is not just correctness, but helping you build confidence and speak naturally in real-life situations.

Russian is my mother tongue, and I also offer conversational Russian for beginners and early intermediate learners. I help students understand the structure of the language, build practical vocabulary, and feel comfortable using Russian in everyday conversation.

In addition, I speak Spanish, which allows me to explain concepts and grammar in Spanish when helpful, especially for beginners who feel more comfortable learning through their native language.

My teaching style is flexible and adapts to each student’s learning needs. Lessons can be structured or conversational, depending on your goals — whether that’s improving fluency, preparing school assignments, or simply feeling more confident using the language.

The SAT is extremely important today in order to be enrolled at the university of your desires. Crossing the 1300 range unlocks a wide variety of options across Europe and getting into the 1350-1400 range alone pretty much ensures you exceed the score requirement for nearly every university across the continent.

The mathematics section of the SAT is crucial, yet most students of non-American backgrounds struggle with the English section of the exam thus resulting in lower scores. I can help you improve your score by over a 100 points simply by practicing and showing you some of the tricks I used to score 700+/800 on my English in the SAT.
