About Me

I am a teacher of English as a second language who has been based in Madrid, Spain, since 2004. I specialise in preparing students for Cambridge exams (FCE, CAE and Proficiency), as well as other exams such as TOEFL/TOEIC and IELTS.

I also have a deep understanding of what adult professionals need to do in order to improve their communication in English at work or in their career. I focus on communicative skills (speaking and listening), and make sure my students are ready to deal with any real-life situations they may encounter.

Having studied two foreign languages at university, I also understand the importance of a good understanding of the grammar of a foreign language. I can explain any doubts or questions regarding English grammar clearly and precisely. I have a wide range of materials and resources ready to use in class.

I had already been doing online classes since 2015 and once the pandemic began, I took the opportunity to become proficient in all the current and relevant online platforms and tools.

English is a very desirable skill to have in a competitive job market, and it's helpful to have for social situations, too! My classes are tailored to you and your preferences. If you would like to focus on certain topics or prefer conversation, grammar, or listening, I will cater it to you. I can work with both children and adults and we will make it fun!

ENG - Whether you are a beginner or an advanced English speaker, my classes focus on English learning for children, students, and adults who have difficulty speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Whether your goal is to boost your professionalism, improve your writing style, or simply enhance your knowledge, I intend to help you reach it! In the beginning session(s), I work with you to determine your level of expertise and comfortability with the language, pinpointing areas that may need extra attention. Together, we would go through the rules, structure, and other aspects of the English language that you should be aware of, assessing your knowledge through interactive activities geared toward topics that interest you. In our meetings, my intention is to help you improve your communication skills by strengthening areas of weakness, whether in vocabulary and grammar, verbal/reading comprehension, holding conversations, pronunciation, or any other area you hope to work on. At the end of each session, I like to provide valuable feedback about your progress and assign helpful practice work to enhance your understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of the English language.

Through these one-on-one sessions, my priority is to keep it engaging and stimulating, tailoring the classes to you and your preferences!

PORT - Quer você seja um falante de inglês iniciante ou avançado, minhas aulas se concentram no aprendizado de inglês para crianças, alunos e adultos que têm dificuldade em falar, ouvir, ler e escrever. Quer o seu objetivo seja aumentar o seu profissionalismo, melhorar o seu estilo de escrita ou simplesmente aumentar o seu conhecimento, pretendo ajudá-lo a alcançá-lo! Nas sessões iniciais, trabalho com você para determinar seu nível de conhecimento e conforto com o idioma, identificando áreas que podem precisar de atenção extra. Juntos, passaríamos pelas regras, estrutura e outros aspectos da língua inglesa que você deveria conhecer, avaliando seu conhecimento por meio de atividades interativas voltadas para temas de seu interesse. Em nossas reuniões, minha intenção é ajudá-lo a melhorar suas habilidades de comunicação, fortalecendo áreas de fraqueza, seja em vocabulário e gramática, compreensão verbal/leitura, conversas, pronúncia ou qualquer outra área que você deseje trabalhar. No final de cada sessão, gosto de fornecer feedback valioso sobre seu progresso e atribuir trabalhos práticos úteis para aprimorar sua compreensão dos aspectos práticos e teóricos do idioma inglês.

Por meio dessas sessões individuais, minha prioridade é mantê-lo envolvente e estimulante, adaptando as aulas a você e às suas preferências!

I teach my method; my goal is for students to be autonomous and to master a specific methodology to resolve any difficulties they encounter.
I enjoy seeing the results of my efforts to address your children's learning difficulties. If you opt for in-person classes, it will be better because
Teaching up close allows for diagnosing defects and strengths

Hello! My name is Lucía and I am a language teacher, translator and interpreter from English to Spanish, and social communicator. I teach Spanish or English lessons at all levels, both in person in the Madrid area and online. I have studied social communication and journalism, and I am certified as a teacher with CELTA through Cambridge University; all this, combined with years of experience as a teacher and interpreter, allows me to apply a variety and wealth of knowledge to my classes.

As someone who has lived in many different countries and contexts, I firmly believe that the process of learning a language is about much more than memorizing grammar and vocabulary, it is about opening a window into the culture, history, and unique life perspective of its speakers. For this reason, I design my lessons not only with the aim of improving your language skills, but also to introduce you to the experience of immersing yourself in the cultural contexts that determine the way people use language in real life. My approach is to create and structure each class session according to your individual needs, helping you to try out and discover the learning methods that best suit your style, a key process to discover your potential for both cultural understanding and effective, fluent communication.

Whether you want to improve your Spanish or English for personal, professional or academic reasons, I am here to accompany you every step of the way. Let's turn your language learning process into a journey of exciting discovery!
