About Me

Hello Apprentus students,

My name is Ian. I'm 43 years old, I've lived and worked in Ibiza for 16 years as a DJ, event production manager and consultant. I was born and educated in London, and spent 8 years at Dulwich College where, amongst other subjects, I studied French, Latin and Spanish. I then graduated from The University of Kent with a BSc in Social Psychology, after which I became a teacher. Throughout that time, I built a reputation as a DJ, which resulted in me becoming an event producer and consultant.

My parents are Irish and I spent most of my school holidays in Ireland, but we also holidayed in Greece, France and the Balearics, which is why I feel at home in the Mediterranean. I have worked in many of Ibiza's language academies, teaching groups and individuals of all ages and competencies.

I have a deep knowledge of grammar in English and Spanish, but if I were to have a teaching 'style', you could call it 'flexible.' My ethos is that language is based on confidence in personal expression. I believe that all of my students have the intelligence to know how they want to express themselves, my job is to help them figure out how they can get better at doing that in a new language, English.

Learn how to become a DJ with Vinyl Records, Ibiza

32.13 £ /h

DJs have become the new Rock Stars, ironically, because of digital DJ technology.

The 'art' of DJing began by taking two vinyl records and mixing them together. Sounds easy, but before you can start you need two records to mix. As the vinyl format is coming back and young aspiring DJs are becoming more interested in having a collection of physical records, they face the same challenges every historic DJ faced.

In this class, I will explain everything there is to know about vinyl DJing, from the shop counter to the platter... the shelf to the dance floor. Where to buy and how to buy the best; how to store and care for your collection; the layout of vinyl; navigating and playing a turntable; understanding the audio properties of phono; beat matching and equalisation; DJing technique and style.

In this class I will pass on over 25 years of DJing experience, and possibly inspire you to become a record collector and DJ.

English classes for all levels, online and in person (Ibiza). My classes focus on the student and their needs and interests. The goal is to integrate vocabulary well and achieve fluency in the language. The methodology varies depending on the student to facilitate learning. I provide summaries, outlines, exercises, mock exams, and other resources.

To live in a country where you do not speak the language is difficult and limits your abilities to connect with the people, understand what is going on around you and interact with anybody or any situation.

I will teach you to speak fluent Spanish in conversations or even in public as I am a radio host for over 30 years and do my radio shows in two languages, English and Spanish, with some German in between. I was also editor of a print magazine for 20 years, so I write English and Spanish too, and do translations from both languages.

I am born in Germany but left to live in Spain when I was 24 years old. Spanish is a beautiful language with many ways to express what you want to say, so it is important to fully understand all its capabilities.

As an online tutor, I specialize in offering personalized classes in English, hospitality management, and both Spanish and English grammar. My goal is to tailor each session to the needs and learning pace of my students, creating a dynamic, clear, and accessible environment.
In my English classes, I focus on improving real-world communication skills: listening comprehension, writing, practical vocabulary, and pronunciation. I use authentic materials, interactive exercises, and everyday situations to make learning natural and effective.
In the area of hospitality management, I teach from a professional and practical perspective. I cover topics such as customer service, service organization, reservation management, effective communication in the workplace, and specialized English vocabulary for the hospitality industry. My aim is to prepare students to work confidently in this sector.
Finally, in my Spanish and English grammar courses, I explain structures in a simple, comparative, and visual way, so that students not only memorize rules but also understand and apply them correctly. I accompany each topic with examples, exercises, and personalized feedback.
My method combines clarity, patience, and constant follow-up so that each student progresses with confidence and achieves their academic or professional goals.
