I am a specialist literacy teacher, with over 20 years of experience teaching and supporting children with a range of learning differences. I have worked towards success for children with a range of needs, including (but not only) Dyslexia, ADHD, Down's Syndrome and issues with Language and Communication, Visual Perceptual or Regulation.
If we can make learning fun our children can succeed, and feel good about themselves. This increases their self-esteem and resilience - which are both key to success.

I have written some practical support booklets.

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.

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 :)

Learn French, English or Spanish in a natural and effective way

With over 17 years of experience in language teaching, I have developed an immersive and contextual method that allows you to learn a language like you learn your mother tongue: by understanding, using and living the language from the very first lesson.

My method is based on a simple principle: communication before memorization. Instead of accumulating vocabulary lists or isolated grammar rules, you learn the language through real-life situations, dialogues, stories, images, videos, and conversations tailored to your level.

What distinguishes my method:

* Gradual immersion from the very first lesson.
* Clear explanations tailored to your profile.
* Simultaneous development of comprehension and oral expression.
* Correction of pronunciation in real-world context.
* Natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar.
* Customized support tailored to your objectives.
* Emphasis placed on confidence and fluency in speaking.

I teach teenagers, adults, professionals, and students who wish to:

* Improve their conversation.
* Prepare for an exam (DELF, TCF, TEF, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, DELE, etc.).
* To travel or settle abroad.
* Use the language in a professional context.
* Develop a more natural pronunciation.

Each lesson is designed as a hands-on experience where you actively use the language rather than passively study it. My goal is to help you speak with confidence, spontaneity, and accuracy as quickly as possible.

Inglés General, Corporativo, Negocios, Ingeniería y Software | Énfasis en Reducción de Acento

NO SE DEJE ESTAFAR MÁS por anuncios con marketing engañoso de academias y profesores que prometen "inglés fácil y rápido", "métodos conversacionales", "aprenda como un niño" o "inglés en 3 meses". Tampoco gaste en costosos y largos cursos en el exterior que no le ofrecen los resultados que realmente necesita.

-¿NEGADO PARA EL INGLÉS?
- ¿SE SIENTE ESTANCADO EN EL MISMO NIVEL HACE AÑOS?
-¿LE DA PENA HABLAR EN PÚBLICO?

Soy especialista en manejo de casos críticos de aprendizaje del idioma inglés.

Con 14 años de experiencia en formación, estoy a su disposición para brindarle asesoría integral en el idioma. Le ofrecemos calidad y GARANTÍA: somos el único programa que garantiza, el DOMINIO DEL IDIOMA EN 90 CLASES.

Énfasis en Reducción de Acento, Aprenda a pronunciar como un hablante NATIVO.

Basado en el ESTUDIO y el TRABAJO arduo, este programa está diseñado exclusivamente para aprender y consolidar resultados; no para rellenar espacios en libros y plataformas, repetir el "VERBO TO BE" 100 veces o escuchar a un docente hablar en Inglés durante horas, mientras usted finge entender.

Con un tutor privado, su aprendizaje es seguro. No invierta tiempo y dinero en academias que no garantizan el dominio del idioma y solo se preocupan por que firme un acuerdo de pago, ofreciéndole "CERTIFICADOS" que carecen de validez oficial. Evite perder su tiempo y tener que invertir más dinero en otros lugares.

Aprenda a hablar, leer y escribir con un nivel de inglés enfocado en la vida real y profesional, no a simples saludos y palabras de escuela. Desarrollamos competencias para áreas como Ingeniería, Ciencias de la Salud, Vocología, Técnica Vocal, Marketing, Negocios y Sector Corporativo.
