English and Spanish Lessons for Professionals and University Students
From 33.29 C$ /h
I like to use real materials and help you identify and develop the strategies you need to improve your level, according to your specific needs. You bring the topics that interest you and we work them together.
I have been a university professor of language and translation in the UK for over 20 years. I can help you write academic essays or specialized articles and prepare you if you intend to study in Great Britain or in any other English speaking country or in Spanish, if you are traveling in the opposite direction.

About Me
I am an experienced academic who has been working full time in UK university system for over 20 years. I studied for my Bachelor of Arts and Doctorate at the University of London and I worked on cultural and literary issues, translation and interpretation ever since. My career so far has been at the University of Kent in the UK. Over the years I have taught Spanish and English as foreign languages at all levels; a wide range of content courses (Catalan Culture, Havana and Barcelona, Modern Spanish Theater, Spanish History, Comparative Literature, Translation, Interpreting, etc.) and I supervised undergraduate and graduate students both in person and online (via Skype, Webex, Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp). I also really enjoy teaching students how to conduct independent research and how to analyze and write academically, and have overseen numerous translation projects, comparative dissertations and doctoral theses.

In my classes I enjoy using a communicative approach and structured and varied teaching materials. I use a modern online platform and each student has lessons that focus on his or her specific learning needs, so we don't waste time on things that are already known.
