The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Are you going on a trip, Erasmus, university exchange or round-the-world trip soon?
Or do you simply want to feel comfortable and confident in a foreign language for your studies?
I have a Master's degree in Tourism Science and Management, and I offer French, Spanish and English lessons specially designed for travellers and students who want to speak quickly, well and without stress.

Even though I am new to teaching, each session is 100% personalised, dynamic and focused on oral practice. We work on truly useful vocabulary, real-life situations in everyday life and travel (transport, accommodation, meeting people, studies, work), as well as clear and simplified grammar for effective communication. The goal is simple: to help you feel confident speaking from the very first lesson, to improve your fluency and to feel comfortable in real-life situations.

I also incorporate cultural elements and common expressions so that you can express yourself more naturally and authentically. The lessons are aimed at beginners and intermediate learners, with flexible schedules.

The first lesson will allow me to define your project and work with you to build a motivating programme tailored to your goals. Lessons will be tailored to your desires, needs, interests and pace. Communication is the key to success: if a topic or method does not suit you, feel free to let me know, and we will adapt the lesson so that you feel comfortable and enjoy learning. 😊

This class is designed for professionals who already use English at work and want to communicate more clearly, confidently, and effectively in real business situations. We focus on practical workplace communication such as emails, meetings, presentations, and everyday professional interactions.

Rather than general conversation practice, sessions are structured and goal-oriented. We work on clarity, tone, vocabulary choice, and phrasing so you can express ideas professionally without overthinking or sounding unsure. Each session is tailored to your role, industry, and communication needs.

By the end of this course, you can expect to:

✔️ Express your thoughts and ideas more clearly and confidently at work
✔️ Write professional emails that sound clear, polite, and natural
✔️ Speak up more comfortably in meetings and discussions
✔️ Explain ideas and opinions in a way others easily understand
✔️ Feel less nervous or stuck when speaking English at work

This class is best suited for motivated learners who want to improve efficiency and confidence in professional English and are willing to actively apply feedback between sessions.

If you are looking for a professional person, with experience using English in the workplace, with patience, always with a smile and who makes you like English, look no further.

I offer dynamic and fun classes and I also adapt to the needs of the students.
In addition, I have experience teaching students with special needs. I love using gamification to make classes more engaging.

I offer conversation classes to improve speaking and vocabulary :)

You'll learn English without even realizing it and while having fun! We'll develop your listening skills, improve your pronunciation, learn to express yourself in writing, and understand written texts.

We will work together on the skills required by official exams: activities for understanding oral texts, activities for producing and co-producing oral and written texts, activities for understanding written texts and the new competence, mediation activities.

And what's more, we'll learn the language from a cultural perspective to delve deeper into the reasons behind many expressions, phrasal verbs, and idioms. Culture, customs, values, and social conventions will provide the key.

Today's job market requires candidates to certify and demonstrate their English proficiency during the selection process. Companies have grown and become more international, and as a result, English has become the dominant language in this era of economic globalization. English is essential in the professional and work environment across virtually all business sectors.
How about we start learning English and achieve it together?
