I have a degree in psychology with a minor in Spanish. I hold a master's degree in Transactional Analysis, a sub-field of psychology. My hobbies include salsa music, watching movies, traveling, biking, swimming, and exercising. Before becoming an independent teacher, I taught English at a public school in Oakland, California. Previously, I served as a sales manager for a travel agency in both Mexico and California.

For lessons, I begin with a diagnostic session to understand your goals, needs, and interests. This is basically an evaluation so I can see what your "wants and needs" are, as well as your goals, requirements, interests, and we'll go from there. At the end of the first session I will give you an estimate as to the timeline needed to reach your objectives.

My teaching methodologies include L1-L2, Grammar, Direct Method, Communicative Approach, Eclectic Approach, Intensive Conversational Method, and Role-Play Workshops (especially useful for practicing job interviews and presentations).
I specialize in General English, Business English, IELTS, and English for healthcare professionals. Typically, it takes two to three months to reach C1 level from B1-B2. I offer tailored classes, emphasizing collocations, grammar, sentence structure, speech, informal colloquial (spoken) language, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, and verb-preposition usage. I also use a lot of exercises, free conversations, discussion topics, role plays and some grammar if and when needed.

Most of my students are native Spanish speakers as I am fully bilingual. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can assist you with your specific plans!

Extensive experience in preparing exams for high school and first semesters of university. It is important to fix the basic concepts in order to understand slightly more complex problems. This must be done with a lot of patience and clear examples from real life, which is where physics has been observed and studied since its inception.

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.

Native level English with dynamic, practical and personalized classes according to the age, level and objectives of the student.
Extensive experience with those who are learning the language from scratch or want to improve for work.

I have a special enthusiasm for teaching children, using play and dynamic activities to create a solid foundation in the language from an early age.

I spent the last four years teaching languages in schools and colleges in England to students ranging from age six to adults, and it's a joy to share my passion for languages with others. I now live in Madrid and am eager to connect with families, groups of students, or individual tutors who would like one-on-one lessons to improve their confidence and fluency in Spanish, French, and English.

My own experience learning Spanish and French inspires me to find diverse and creative ways to strengthen my understanding of grammar rules and vocabulary. I love exploring a language through movies, music, news, games, and more.

From my experience, creating a relationship based on trust and shared interests helps my students develop their skills, confidence, and fluency.

I'm really looking forward to starting this language learning journey with you!
