From 51.9 £ /h

Hello! I am a fully qualified Spanish Primary School teacher with over 20 years of experience in public education, including leadership and academic coordination roles.
Based in Zürich, I offer structured and personalised online lessons in English and Spanish for primary students (ages 6–12), including international and multilingual families.
I support students with:
• English as a Second Language (ESL)
• Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL)
• Academic reinforcement
• Homework support
• Exam preparation
• Reading, writing, grammar and communication skills
With extensive classroom experience and training in innovative methodologies such as Future Classroom Lab, I design goal-oriented lessons adapted to each child’s academic level and learning style.
My approach combines:
✔️ Clear structure and measurable progress
✔️ High academic standards
✔️ Warm, supportive communication
✔️ Confidence-building strategies
✔️ Regular parent feedback
I understand the needs of international families and children growing up in multilingual environments. My aim is to provide professional, reliable, and high-quality educational support while creating a positive and motivating learning experience.

About Me

I have been working in education for over 20 years, and what I still enjoy the most is seeing students gain confidence in themselves. For me, teaching is not only about explaining a subject, but about helping each child (or adult) feel capable and supported.
I consider myself a calm and patient teacher. I like having structure in my lessons, but I also understand that every student is different. Some need more guidance, some need encouragement, and others simply need someone who believes in them.
Throughout my career, I have worked with many families and students from different backgrounds. Living in Zürich has also given me a deeper understanding of multilingual and international environments, which I find very enriching.
I value respect, consistency, and clear communication. I try to create a learning space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes — because that is how real learning happens.
Even after many years in education, I am still motivated to keep learning and improving as a teacher. Supporting students in their progress, step by step, is something I truly care about.

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 :)

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.
