Do you feel stuck with your English, or do you need to master the language for a demanding professional environment?

Improve your level with this course. It's not a traditional grammar class; it's a strategic immersion program designed by a professional with international training in the UK and direct experience in top-level European institutions.

The course is personalized for each student and each level. My sessions move away from the conventional textbook to focus on the practical use of the language. We will use real-life cases and simulated meetings/interviews so that your learning is directly applicable to your career or personal life.

- Introduction and conversational English

- Mastery of professional registration

- Preparation for C1/C2 Certification

Feel free to ask any questions.

About Me
Hi! I'm Joan, an open, dynamic, and above all, honest person. If anything defines me, it's that I've spent a large part of my life abroad: from studying for my A-levels and university degree in the UK to working in international environments like the EUIPO.

I'm not your typical textbook teacher. I enjoy teaching because I've been where you are and I know what it's like to go from just "surviving" with the language to feeling comfortable negotiating or simply chatting in a pub. My approach is to personalize each class as much as possible; I don't believe in standard lessons because everyone has their own unique challenges and goals.

I consider myself a very proactive and good-humored person. My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to gain the confidence to truly let go. If you're looking for dynamic, direct classes tailored to your everyday needs, look no further!

Classes 100% personalized with the material included.

During the class you can see all the areas (both oral and written) that intervene in English communication and that are compulsory for the preparation of official exams (Speaking, Writing, Listening, Grammar). The material used in the class is its own, along with which carefully chosen existing support materials will be used.

The class is always structured following the objectives of the student and the treatment is based on trust and mutual commitment.

My mission is to provide high-quality educational content and engaging exercises, from elementary to university level.

There are types of learning that allow students to set their own pace, both inside and outside the classroom, to improve your English, communication, and written expression.

The platform must demonstrate that it works for the benefit of children or students, thus helping them better.

In addition, we offer courses in mathematics, physics, and life and earth sciences, excluding English, from kindergarten through university, for those who wish to continue their studies abroad.

Hello, I am a tutor who has been working in this field for 25 years now. I work independently and structure my lessons around the student. As such the student gains the best experience possible and is able to relate to the lessons and content to a higher extent. I teach the stem subjects of English, Maths and Science for the British curriculum and also teach English as a foreign language. The best lessons are online however I will be part time in Alicante region soon and part time in my West London address. Please enquire on how I can help you to improve in any of these subjects.

I am an English teacher with many years of experience and a CertTESOL Certificate from Trinidad, London. My goals are to teach students to develop their knowledge of English at any level and to pass exams. Homework after each class.

Our first class will be "Getting to Know You". Your English level, your goals and your interests. It is important for my students to feel comfortable during their first class. To be able to ask questions and interact with confidence is important.
Further lessons will have a "Lesson Plan" which you will receive before our lesson so that you can review the lesson and know what we will be working on for your lesson. We will cover all aspects of the English Language, improving your speaking, reading and writing.
Learning should be fun and making mistakes is also a way of learning, so you should never worry about errors. I will correct and explain the reasoning for this.

This course is designed to strengthen students’ skills in reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking in English. Learners will engage with a wide range of texts, from classic and contemporary literature to non-fiction and media, developing analytical abilities and a deeper appreciation of language. Emphasis is placed on building vocabulary, grammar accuracy, and effective communication, both in academic and real-world contexts.
Through guided discussions, writing assignments, and interactive activities, students will learn to express ideas clearly, argue persuasively, and approach texts with insight. The course also helps prepare students for examinations, higher education, and professional environments where strong English skills are essential.

Kids (aged 5 - 16) and adults love working with me! I've been an online English Teacher for 1833 students from all across the world for the past 3 years.

My classes are fun, engaging, and challenging in a way that helps each student to grow confidence to communicate freely.

I teach phonetics, reading, writing, listening and conversation skills from beginner to advanced.

Rather than striving to pass a test, I aim to help each person to feel supported to express themselves with confidence, so they have a solid foundation upon which to build from. There are many students who can pass a test, but can't actually speak English with confidence. My teaching style worls the other way around - we learn to speak confidently and then focus on passing a test.

My teaching materials include online games, fun cartoon grammar video classes, singing songs, playing music, writing worksheets, colourful story books and interesting research articles for the more advanced students.

I help students to prepare for ILETS examinations and interview practice through role playing - we learn by doing and not simply by reading or grammar. I love talking with my students, so I aim to bring out that side in them too.

I'm a native British tutor with over 20 years of tutoring experience. I first began tutors GCSE subjects to students in the UK when I was finishing my PhD. Tutoring has always been my passion because I love seeing students see how easy it actually is to learn a topic, when they are shown how to learn it in a fun and easy to understand manner.

When I was a Management Consultant in the corporate sector for 16 years prior to making a career change to pursue my childhood passion of teaching, we didn't hire people who had the best grades - we hired people who were effective leaders, had critical thinking and analysis skills, and demonstrated creative problem solving skills.

I aim to help a student to build these skills through gentle enquiry, fun conversations, interactive games and teaching topics from a real life perspective via role plays when appropriate.

We learn by doing, not by thinking alone.

If you'd like to find out more, please get in touch.

I'm TEFL certified and English is my native language.

I also teach Business English when required.
