English Second Language Teacher (Native UK) with Honours Degree in Language and Linguistics

From 49 C$ /h

Hello! I'm Miya, a languages graduate (Spanish, French, Italian, English) and I love learning languages, so I understand first-hand how challenging it can be to learn and practise speaking a new language.

Classes can be:
- speaking only: practising getting comfortable speaking English with a native
- grammar based: doing exercises and translations
- from beginner to advanced levels of English

I have experience teaching English in language academies to people of all ages and abilities. I teach Cambridge, Trinity and EOI exams, as well as group child classes.

I am open to doing classes online (via Zoom or Skype) and we can meet at an agreed location in the city.

A laptop would be great, but not essential.

About Me

I am an energetic and fun 29-year-old from the UK. I am an English second language teacher in Valencia and have been living and working here for six years. I studied languages and linguistics at university and I love learning interesting facts about language and how language differs across cultures. For this reason, I love to teach others English and draw distinctions from their native language.

I love when my students ask me questions. Anything! It can be something grammar-specific, and if I don't know the answer, I will go and find out and get back to you with the answer!

Kids that love to learn and love to try out new things make teaching extremely worthwhile. Getting students comfortable speaking lets them improve at a much faster rate so I encourage speaking in my classes and active participation.

I teach using various methods: learning through games is always fun and lets younger students gain confidence in a second language. With adults, I prefer to use exercises based around grammar and translation. However, I also teach each adults that only wish to learn through speaking, and they like when I correct their mistakes as they speak.

English is a fundamental tool today, and therefore if you need help or reinforce your English, that's what I'm here for.
Learn little by little, grammar, vocabulary, etc.
First we adapt to the student to catch up with the type of syllabus and what needs to be reinforced or started to learn.

English is a vehicular language and, therefore, essential. Therefore, it's vital to ensure a good command of it. I'll help you learn the language from a much more dynamic and enriching perspective.
At the same time, French is increasingly being learned. As with the previous language, it's essential to make sure we know it well.
I can teach classes in person or online.

I teach using the communicative method, keeping students actively engaged throughout every lesson rather than passively absorbing grammar rules. Real communication (speaking, listening, reacting, negotiating meaning) sits at the center of everything I do, with grammar and vocabulary introduced as tools to support that communication, not as the goal itself.

After seven-plus years of teaching, I've learned that the specifics of "what" a student needs matter far less than "how" we get there. What really moves the needle is connection and motivation. I invest in understanding what genuinely interests and drives each student, and I build lessons around that, because engagement, not just method, is what makes language actually stick.

I work with a wide range of learners: university students needing English for health sciences and biotechnology, adults preparing for exams, professionals wanting workplace fluency, and general learners at any level. Whatever your background or goal, I can design and prepare original materials specifically for you, and adapt the pace and focus as we go.
