From 32 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.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

Hi! I'm a Master's student in International Financial Management in Switzerland, with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance and a GRE score of 336/340.

You understand English, but the words do not come when you have to speak? I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified (over 10 years of experience, IELTS, TEFL). I built my own AI coaching assistant: it spots what holds your speaking back and creates exercises from your own mistakes, so that you speak with confidence in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

Hello, I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified, with over 10 years of experience (IELTS, TEFL). I have taught children, teenagers and adults, online and in person, in France, Turkey and Australia, and online with students in China and all over the world.

Most lessons show you what went wrong during the lesson. Mine tell you what to fix next, and give you the practice to fix it.

I teach because I love learning languages and I love showing people that they can learn them far more easily than they think. Traditional methods make it hard, but learning can be easy, enjoyable, interesting, inspiring and faster than you expect. I taught myself French, Spanish and Turkish, and I can show you how to do the same.

The students I like to work with are genuinely motivated to improve and ready to put in 15 minutes every day, following a clear, simple and effective system, to improve in a few weeks, not a few years.

I use the latest technology alongside proven methods. I built my own AI coaching assistant for language learning (AI Coaching Assistant Agent for Language Training): it analyses your speaking to pinpoint exactly what holds your English back, then creates exercises for your particular needs. Together we build your full language profile (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency) and put a system of regular practice in place, so that you speak fluently in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

How it works:

Your language profile. At the start, I record and analyse your speaking, using my AI assistant and my teacher's ear. This shows your pronunciation habits, your recurring grammar errors, the breadth of your vocabulary and your fluency, so that we work on what matters for you rather than on a generic syllabus.

Exercises made for you. My assistant and I create exercises from your own mistakes and your own goals: a job interview, IELTS, meetings or everyday conversation. You never practise what you already know.

A routine that sticks. We set up regular practice between lessons, short and realistic, with a new analysis to measure your progress. This is what shortens the road to fluency, because most of the learning happens between lessons.

First lesson: we assess your level, clarify your goals and start your language profile. You leave with a practical plan built around how you learn best. Whether it is for work, study, travel or pleasure, book your first lesson.

I tailor my lessons to each individual student. I base my teaching on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which allows for structured learning progress with clear guidelines.
We determine your current level and then work step by step according to your needs. We practice listening and reading comprehension, spoken and written language, grammar, and pronunciation using practical exercises in realistic conversation situations.
You'll be exposed to the language from the very first lesson. If needed, we can converse in English to clarify questions and facilitate learning.
When preparing my lessons, I always take into account the specific needs of the student (e.g., lessons preparing for a trip differ from those preparing for university studies). I use up-to-date and varied learning materials such as books, audio recordings, videos, podcasts, interactive exercises, and digital resources.

My goal is for the student to develop confidence, fluency, and understanding of the Spanish language in a respectful, motivating, and effective learning environment.
