Hi! I'm a native English teacher (UK) and I give classes focused on helping you speak better and with more confidence. If you understand a lot but freeze up when speaking, always repeat the same phrases, or find it hard to sound natural, these classes are for you.

Method: We use games, debates, role-plays and dynamic activities to get you talking from minute one.

Focus: Improve your fluency, pronunciation, and confidence. I correct your mistakes in real time so you learn naturally.

Levels: From A2 (Basic) to C1 (Advanced). Note: I do not teach absolute beginners (A0-A1).

For whom: Adults who need to let loose, and children/teenagers who want to learn through play.

About Me
Hello, I'm an English teacher located in Puerta del Ángel. My philosophy is simple: the best way to learn a language is by speaking it, not by filling out grammar worksheets.

My method:
- Lots of guided conversation on a variety of topics (work, travel, current events, culture, real-life situations)
- Correction and feedback in real time (typical mistakes, more natural alternatives)
- Drills to improve fluency, pronunciation, and useful phrases
- Little "grammar nonsense": we only work on it when it really blocks you
Education
I have a university degree from the University of Leeds in England and I have the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) certificate from Cambridge for teaching English.
