From 38 C$ /h

Hi there! I'm a TEFL certified native English speaker from the US, working in Madrid as a high school English teacher and photographer. I'm so excited to be working with individuals as they deepen their understanding of the English language.

Being bi-or multilingual, with the ability to speak English has become such a valued skill in today's world that is able to open up so many doors for people. My classes are all one to one, and I can meet you wherever you are in your process of learning Spanish. Whether you're at an absolute beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, I can create personalized lessons that help you get more comfortable with your English speaking and comprehension.

My main goal for my classes is to conduct them in a way that is fun and easily digestible. I'm happy to meet you wherever works best for you - online, at your home, a coffee shop - wherever. My Spanish is intermediate, which comes in handy when explaining things, but we'll only use it when we have to :)

About Me

I'm 29, and moved to Madrid from the US in November to become an English teacher and improve my Spanish. I love this city and am so happy to be here. In 2016 I received my TEFL Certificate and have since taught/tutored English language learners in Washington DC, Barcelona, Sicily, and now Madrid.

I'm a very calm, patient, and positive person and appreciate the effort it takes to learn another language. I know it can be challenging and sometimes frustrating, so I do my absolute best to make my classes enjoyable. I really believe learning English will best position you in your endeavors, and I'm so excited to help you advance in a way that is fun and exciting.

Extensive experience preparing for math exams for children and adolescents from 7 to 18 years old. Patience, understanding and didactics according to each person are the main motivations that I use.
Mathematics is usually very scary, mainly because methods are used that are not adequate or do not adapt to the students. Every learning process requires a lot of empathy, patience and understanding. I not only check that my students learn, but also that they stop being afraid or terrified, which are the main enemies of learning.

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.

Specialized classes for International Baccalaureate (IB) and A-Levels or GCSE students in the subjects of Economics and Business Management.

My name is Marcos and I am a PhD student in Economics at the University of Angers in France. I have over two years of experience teaching Economics to international students of varying levels and academic objectives, both in the International Baccalaureate (IB) and A-Levels (Cambridge, Pearson, and AQA).

My English is advanced. It's the language I use to write my doctoral thesis, and I've also taught many of my students in English. It's also the language I use in my personal life every day.

My teaching method is based on two pillars:

First: Explain the most complex economic and business concepts clearly and concisely with easy-to-understand examples. Once the concepts are understood, the exercises are easily completed.

Second: My method is carefully designed to maximize scores on official exams, explaining exactly how to answer questions according to the standards of the official markscheme.

I also offer help for Internal Assessment (IA) and Extended Essay (EE), proposing a specialized plan for the student and helping them to implement it in class.

My classes are suitable both for students who understand the subject but don't know how to do the official papers and for students who don't understand the subject and need more foundational support.

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!

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.
