About Me

Hi! I'm Joan, an open, dynamic, and above all, honest person. If anything defines me, it's that I've spent a large part of my life abroad: from studying for my A-levels and university degree in the UK to working in international environments like the EUIPO.

I'm not your typical textbook teacher. I enjoy teaching because I've been where you are and I know what it's like to go from just "surviving" with the language to feeling comfortable negotiating or simply chatting in a pub. My approach is to personalize each class as much as possible; I don't believe in standard lessons because everyone has their own unique challenges and goals.

I consider myself a very proactive and good-humored person. My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to gain the confidence to truly let go. If you're looking for dynamic, direct classes tailored to your everyday needs, look no further!

Classes 100% personalized with the material included.

During the class you can see all the areas (both oral and written) that intervene in English communication and that are compulsory for the preparation of official exams (Speaking, Writing, Listening, Grammar). The material used in the class is its own, along with which carefully chosen existing support materials will be used.

The class is always structured following the objectives of the student and the treatment is based on trust and mutual commitment.

Hi, I am studying Law LLB in England (online) and use the language for sometime now. I am initially a music teacher and my language teaching is based on immersion. As I don't speak Spanish (yet) you won't have the comfort of me helping that way. However I can describe things many ways, helping you to imagine and discover - rather than spell (very important tho) and memorize (also very important, but words have to have an image first.

Hello, I am a teacher and translator with a degree in foreign languages and literature. I am a native Italian and therefore specialized in teaching Italian for all levels and ages, but I also offer English, Spanish and Russian classes. I adapt my classes to the demands of the students: school, university, work, language certifications, hobbies. In my classes I deal with grammar, vocabulary, culture and literature arguments that are put into practice in conversation.

I have a PhD in Philosophy and Literature and five years of teaching experience. This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn a language and/or its culture in a practical and engaging way. The course objectives are tailored to the students' needs, as some simply want to learn more, others want to be able to communicate in real-life situations, and still others want to obtain an official language certification. You will learn progressively, depending on your starting level, and you will receive continuous, personalized feedback. Let's learn together!

English: 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Heya! I'm Maria - a Romanian girl who was raised in the UK and who came to consider English as her mother tongue. Having said that, I had my own struggles whilst learning Spanish - I do know what it means to learn a language past childhood. I wish to help others like me go from just listening to actively connecting with others - both in Spanish and English.

Who these lessons are best suited for:
I teach right from beginner and get you up to B2 (A1 --> B2).
I have experience teaching adults, but I am open to adapting the teaching - in terms of vocabulary and context - for any age group.
Our classes will focus on listening and speaking, with vocabulary and verb tense sheets made for you to repeat and work on memorization and spelling after class. Given that, I'd recommend this more for people who wish to communicate naturally for travel, socializing or working rather than those looking for lectures that follow a textbook and solely target reading and writing.
I only ask that you be genuine about learning and to try to fight that urge to switch language the moment it gets hard - I am here to help you with that.

Lesson Structure:
In our first meeting, we will get to know each other and I aim to pinpoint whereabouts you are in terms of both comprehension and expression. Let me know if you have any goals in particular as if there is any particular context in which you aim to use English, I want to adapt my lessons to that. We can get into practicing as soon after and as much as you feel comfortable.
Subsequent lessons will be largely conversation and practice-based. Please don't worry if you know only a few words coming in! I believe in building confidence in speaking from day one as this tends to be what lags most behind and what takes the longest to develop and I want to help you do just that.
I will be providing prompts and real-life scenarios and letting the conversation flow from there for speaking and using comprehensible input (a technique that teaches you unfamiliar terms through familiar contexts) for listening.
I will help you fill any missing vocab or uncertainty in as you go along, where appropriate.
I will provide opportunities for active recall to help you retain these pointers.
I will take notes of these as we go and provide you with a full sheet of vocabulary, verb tenses, uses and examples of any phrasal verbs, idioms and slang, and grammar notes by the end of the following day.
Lessons are to be online or in a quiet café, library or park we agree on or a home-visit if you are close to the city center and would prefer.

Feel free to send a message and see if we're the right fit or ask if unsure about anything!

Español: 🇪🇸🇵🇷🇨🇴
Buen día, que lo que! Soy Maria - una chica rumana que creció en el Reino Unido. He llegado a considerar el inglés como mi lengua materna y al español como un segundo idioma muy cercano. Pero, igual, viendo como empecé el español a los 14, sí que entiendo lo difícil que es aprender un idioma cuando ya no eres niño. Quiero ayudarles a pasar de solo escuchar a conversar con confianza.

Para quién recomendaría estas lecciones:
Enseño desde el principio de principios y te ayudo a llegar al nivel intermedio alto (A1 al B2).
Cuento con experiencia enseñando a adultos, pero estoy abierta a cambiar mi forma de enseñar - en términos de vocabulario y contexto a otras edades también.
Lecciones se enfocan principalmente en las habilidades de comprensión y expresión oral, aunque crearé paginas personalizadas con el vocabulario y tiempos verbales después de la clase. Así que ... recomendaría esto más para personas que quieran comunicarse con otros de forma natural (sea para socializar, viajar o trabajar) que para aquellos buscando lecturas tradicionales o entrenamiento solo en lo que se trata de leer y escribir.

Plan/structura de las lecciones:
Nuestra primera lección la pasaremos conociendo el uno al otro y mi objetivo será averiguar tu nivel hablando, escuchando y de escribiendo. Avísame si hay una razón en particular por la cual quieres aprender el inglés - puedo adapter mis lecciones a esta. Hablaremos en inglés tanto como puedas desde el primero día, adaptando el porcentaje según te sientas cómodo.
Las próximas clases serán en gran parte basadas en conversación basada en situaciones reales y en temas comunes y esenciales. Porfa, que no se preocupan incluso si solo hablen unas pocas palabras al empezar! Creo mucho en que hay que ir ganando confianza hablando desde el día nr.1 ya que este aspecto suele quedarse atrás y toma la mayor cantidad de tiempo para desarrollar y quiero mucho ayudarte hacer exactamente esto.
-- Compartiré temas para conversar y escenarios de la vida real y dejar que la conversación fluya desde allá (cuando se trata de hablar) y usar 'comprehensible input' (una técnica que te enseña palabras desconocidas por medio de un contexto conocido) cuando se trata de escuchar.
-- Te ayudaré a llenar cualquier vacío de vocabulario y responder a dudas con la gramático cuando sea adecuado.
-- Incluiré pruebas y actividades de recuerdo activo para ayudarte a retener los puntos clave.
-- Tomaré notas de estas a medida que avancemos para entregarte una ficha completa con vocabulario, tiempos verbales, usos y ejemplos de verbos compuestos, jerga y notas de gramática antes del final del día siguiente.
Las clases pueden ser en línea, en un café tranquilo, en la biblioteca o en un parque o al domicilio si estás cerca del centro de la ciudad y lo prefieres.
