About Me

Hello! My name is Elise and I currently live in Madrid in Spain. I am a lover of modern languages and have a degree in French and Spanish. As part of this, I spent my year abroad split between Geneva, Switzerland & Zaragoza, Spain. I am a very fun and enthusiastic teacher and excited to return to Spain as a qualified English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher later this year.

My previous experience includes being an Au pair teaching English to two boys in Manresa, Spain, a Teaching Assistant for Year 10 & Year 13 as well as an Academic Peer Mentor. Last year I received my CELTA from International House in London where I learnt how to entwine the communicative approach into my everyday teaching. I look forward to designing dynamic lessons that will help to boost my student’s confidence and make learning English an enjoyable experience.

Hi,
My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is on developing English language communication in a fluid and structured way, whether to prepare for international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate adequately in the professional field, or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.
I have a degree, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English since I was a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School and lived for a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA, I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.
In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts and this helped me prepare for my studies in the US I had several communication classes, learning techniques on how to speak better using not only our words, but also our body to help us speak in a way more natural, calm and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduating I worked for a year, mainly having long conversations on the phone with people from all over the country.
Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I will prepare you so that you can meet your objectives. It could be studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving communication in the professional field or practicing so as not to lose the level previously acquired.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I am going to help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times, that is why I design my classes individually.

I guide my students from beginner to advanced levels, helping them gain confidence, improve their fluency, and achieve their academic or professional goals in

• English
• French or
• Spanish

Native level English with dynamic, practical and personalized classes according to the age, level and objectives of the student.
Extensive experience with those who are learning the language from scratch or want to improve for work.

I have a special enthusiasm for teaching children, using play and dynamic activities to create a solid foundation in the language from an early age.

I spent the last four years teaching languages in schools and colleges in England to students ranging from age six to adults, and it's a joy to share my passion for languages with others. I now live in Madrid and am eager to connect with families, groups of students, or individual tutors who would like one-on-one lessons to improve their confidence and fluency in Spanish, French, and English.

My own experience learning Spanish and French inspires me to find diverse and creative ways to strengthen my understanding of grammar rules and vocabulary. I love exploring a language through movies, music, news, games, and more.

From my experience, creating a relationship based on trust and shared interests helps my students develop their skills, confidence, and fluency.

I'm really looking forward to starting this language learning journey with you!

Hello,

my name is Daniela. I'm seventeen years old, being born January 6, 2009. I have been learning English for fifteen years, and ever since I have found it as an amazing tool to discover new interests and cultures across barriers. I currently study in an international school, which means I learn all my material in English

As a teacher, I would like to help my students grow their interest
in English and reach a level where they find theirselves comfortable speaking the language. I know learning languages is really tricky, but it can be easier with the right approach.

I have never tutored before, but I already have a few ideas in mind on how to work in my students. An ideal class for me would be

- Spending the first ten minutes talking about the student's news and how they're doing at school. I also consider mental health really important and I would love to be a support figure for my student. During these ten minutes, I could help the student figure out vocabulary words they don't know, keeping a "Vocabulary notebook" for new words learnt in the class.

- After the icebreaking session, we would work on the material the student is learning in class. I would like to recieve it in advance so I can work on a mind-map or explanation for the student to understand the concept step-by-step.

- If we have time, I would look for listening, reading and writing exercises based on the student's level (A1, A2...) so we can work on it together

- To finish, I would reserve 5 minutes so my student can tell me how they feel about the class and what we can change to improve. I will also recommend material in English (books, series...) for the student to engage with in their free time

I love teaching English to others, and I will try to make the classes easier and not very heavy. I have studied English in school for a long time, and I have found that English lessons at school are heavily grammar-focused and not very intuitive. I would love my classes to be fun, interactive and entretaining, so my student can associate the language with something fun and comforting, not just a boring subject to study.

My classes will be targeted towards primary and secondary school students.

My name is Amanda, and I'm an Early Childhood Education teacher currently pursuing a Master's degree in Neuroscience and Education. I offer academic support classes for children in Early Childhood and Primary Education, tailored to each student's pace, needs, and goals.

I can help with homework, academic support, reading and writing, reading comprehension, organization, study habits, independent learning, and English for preschool and elementary school levels. I use a friendly, practical, and motivating methodology, incorporating games, hands-on activities, visual aids, reading, conversation, and age-appropriate activities.

I can also offer Spanish classes for adults, especially focused on conversation, useful vocabulary, listening and reading comprehension, and practicing the language in everyday situations.

My goal is for each student to learn with confidence, without pressure, and feeling supported. I consider myself a patient, responsible, creative, and approachable person, with experience in educational centers, academic support programs, play centers, summer camps, digital skills, and socio-educational support for minors.
