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.

Learning a language is about much more than memorising vocabulary or mastering grammar. It's about ordering your first coffee with confidence, succeeding in a job interview, travelling without relying on translation apps, connecting with people, and discovering a different way of seeing the world.

That's why I teach.

I'm Silvia, a native Spanish speaker from Argentina, an experienced English and Spanish teacher, and a qualified theatre nurse now based in the UK. My professional journey has taken me from operating theatres to virtual classrooms, giving me a unique perspective on communication, empathy and lifelong learning.

For more than five years, I've helped adult learners from around the world achieve their personal, academic and professional goals through practical, conversation-focused lessons. I also understand the language needs of healthcare professionals and enjoy supporting students who need English or Spanish for medical settings.

Every student has a different reason for learning. Some are preparing to relocate abroad, others need a language for work, want to travel with confidence, or simply dream of speaking fluently. Whatever your goal, I design lessons around your needs—not a one-size-fits-all course.

My classes are friendly, engaging and interactive. You'll practise real communication from the very beginning while building a solid understanding of grammar in a way that feels clear, practical and never overwhelming.
My goal is not only to teach a language, but to help you feel confident using it in real life.

If you're looking for a teacher who genuinely listens, adapts to your learning style and encourages you every step of the way, I'd love to help you achieve your goals.

Let's make your next conversation your best one.
