About Me

Hi! It's nice to meet you! I hope I get the chance to help you with your English because I truly love teaching. I teach ages 1-16 in a Colegio in Torrejon de Ardoz, and I love every moment with my kiddos. I am very energetic, friendly, and out-going and you won't have to worry about feeling shy or nervous to practice with me.
My belief is that when people are comfortable, they are much more likely to succeed and excel in languages. For that reason, I do everything in my power to make students feel comfortable, confident and excited to learn. I welcome mistakes with open arms because after all, mistakes are the best way to learn when it comes to new languages.

A little bit about me...
I am from the United States, specifically from Pennsylvania, however, I went to school at the University of Kentucky and graduated with a degree in Psychology & Spanish Language. I love to travel and have travelled and studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain and Valparaíso, Chile.
I have worked with children for over 6 years in various settings: schools, research labs, psychology clinics, and NGOs...I have a clear passion for working with children and strongly believe that we learn as much from them as they learn from us.
In my free time, I am an avid reader, I love to sing and play instruments, and I am a big fan of musicals and theatre. I also love spending time with my friends and exploring nature and the city of Madrid.

Education

I graduated from the University of Kentucky with an average GPA of 3.89 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology & Spanish Language. During my time in university, I studied in Sevilla, Spain for 8 months and later in Valparaiso, Chile for a summer completing an internship with an NGO for vulnerable youth.

Experience / Qualifications

As far as my experience with children, I have worked with children in various educational settings for over 6 years. Some of that experience includes volunteering as a tutor for elementary-aged children, completing an internship with a non-profit dedicated to enhancing the educational abilities of vulnerable youth in Valparaíso, Chile and working as the Developmental Coordinator for a small NGO in Lexington, Kentucky that is dedicated to helping enhance students educational abilities in an after-school setting for children living in poverty. Currently, I am completing a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language that will be completed by May.
In terms of working with adults, I have many friends who speak English as a second language and have immensely helped them improve upon their skills in a number of ways: the main ones being through conversation and providing a comfortable environment for them to feel confident practicing and improving upon their abilities.

English is a very desirable skill to have in a competitive job market, and it's helpful to have for social situations, too! My classes are tailored to you and your preferences. If you would like to focus on certain topics or prefer conversation, grammar, or listening, I will cater it to you. I can work with both children and adults and we will make it fun!

Conversation is decisive to develop your learning and sustain it over time, I offer you a practice space with support material to complement vocabulary, improve spelling and grammar, refine your hearing and feel confident when speaking with readings and essays which you will be reviewing in the comfort of your preference.

The student will be able to see different places in the capital of Spain without leaving the classroom and learn Spanish. My learning idea is based on interactive activities between my student and me, with word games, card games to improve the syllabi. I will also bring printed exercises for the denser syllabi and for reading comprehension activities in Spanish. We will see a text in which different topics will be discussed and the student must understand what each paragraph says. For this last exercise, I will use the texts and printed images from my printed edition of Guía de Madrid.

This course suggests that we enter a level of English that allows you to deal with your personal life and your professional life. Furthermore, the idea is to be able to talk about the media, to function in different environments. It is also important in this course to think about eating. How nice it is to know how to order a good plate of food or go to a gym knowing how to talk to people. Here you can delve into the different greetings and means of establishing contact with Spanish.

I am currently a third-year student pursuing a double degree in Philosophy and Social Studies at the University of Madrid (UCM). I have one year of experience teaching private tutoring and English classes. I offer classes in any subject from elementary to high school. However, I specialize in English and humanities and social sciences, which constitute my current field of study.
My one-year stay in Dublin allows me to introduce my students to the English language more deeply, thereby instilling my passion for teaching and learning it. I also learned firsthand the study and examination methods at Cambridge, an institution from which I hold a C1, although my ongoing language training means I currently have a C2 level.
In my classes, I try to tailor the content to the students' unique characteristics and interests to achieve the desired results as effectively as possible, while also improving their relationship with their studies and passion for knowledge.

Languages are an important part of society, and learning them doesn't always have to be a struggle! I offer relaxed German and English lessons tailored to each student, addressing their specific needs and challenges. Whether you’re struggling with grammar, want to improve your speaking, need help with schoolwork, or simply want to feel more confident using the language, I’m happy to help! I try to make my lessons feel less like a typical school class and more like a conversation where you can actually practice and enjoy the language. We can work on whatever you find most difficult, using plenty of practical examples and conversation along the way.
I don’t believe that pressure is the right way to learn; it’s repetition and staying at it—while having fun—that make the difference and lead to results!

Do you find it difficult to express yourself in English even though you understand quite a bit? Would you like to speak with more confidence, naturalness, and fluency?

My name is Álvaro and I have experience living in the United States and Ireland, as well as a TEFL – Full Circle 360 qualification specializing in teaching English as a foreign language.

My classes are especially focused on improving oral expression and helping you feel comfortable speaking English in real-life situations.

We will work primarily through:

🗣️ Everyday conversations and situations
💬 Debates and expression of opinions
🎲 Games and activities to help you speak naturally
🎬 Movies, series, videos and songs
🌍 Travel, culture and experiences
🎭 Role plays and real-life situations
📖 Useful vocabulary and expressions to help you communicate better
🔊 Pronunciation and fluency

The idea is for you to speak from the very first minute. During our conversations, I'll correct your mistakes and help you find more natural ways to express yourself, always adapting to your level.

I'm not looking for you to memorize endless vocabulary lists: I want you to learn to use English to truly communicate and gradually lose your fear of speaking.

The classes are fully adapted to your level, interests and goals, whether you are starting out or already have a good level and want to gain fluency.

I am a Hispanic Philology student and an experienced private tutor of English and Spanish. I offer classes tailored to the level and needs of each student, for both school students and adults.

In my classes we work on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral and written expression, using practical and dynamic activities to facilitate learning. I also prepare students for exams and provide reinforcement on the topics they find most challenging.

My goal is for each student to progress steadily, gain confidence, and be able to use the language practically in real-life situations. I adapt the materials and methodology to each person's pace.

I am a native English speaker from the UK, and I am currently an undergraduate student in Madrid at IE University. I can offer immersive English lessons for all levels. My lessons would be conducted fully in English in order to make the most of the time. I would focus on speaking and listening; however, we can also focus on writing if that is a goal for the student. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. The lessons can be for conversation practice, homework help and exam prep.
