About Me
Although originally from the UK, I have lived and taught in Spain for over 25 years, helping students from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds achieve success in English. With more than 30 years of teaching experience in the UK and internationally, I have taught learners of all ages, abilities, and academic backgrounds.

For over a decade, I have specialized in online tuition in English Language, English as a Foreign Language, and Media Studies, helping students achieve excellent academic results while developing confidence and independent learning skills. I have extensive experience supporting neurodiverse learners, including students with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, using personalized teaching strategies that enable every student to reach their full potential.

My professional experience is further strengthened by six years as a Headteacher and five years as Head of the English Department, reflecting strong leadership, curriculum expertise, and a commitment to high educational standards.

I specialize in English Language and Media Studies from IGCSE to A Level, as well as English as a Foreign Language, including Cambridge First (B2 First), Advanced (C1 Advanced), Proficiency (C2 Proficiency), IELTS, and Trinity examinations. My lessons develop the analytical, writing, reading, and communication skills students need to excel in their examinations and become confident, effective users of English.

Hello, I am Hanna, a native English teacher from the United States, with more than 10 years of experience, I have a Master from DePaul University in Chicago and I am certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Currently I teach English at all levels and all ages in Spain, by webcam as well. I have taught English in Portugal and Spain, young and old, also preparing students for the Cambridge, FCE, CAE and CPE exams, with excellent results.
My main objective is the development of speaking, pronunciation and fluency skills, both with children and adults. That is why I use the direct method and the communicative method. I really enjoy training people of all ages and different levels.
As a teacher, I try to understand the learning style and interests of each of my students. My classes are well structured, but they are also fun, I integrate different activities and teaching techniques in order to reach all students. I use a variety of learning sources: books, additional material, multimedia and create a warm and friendly environment in the class paying attention to the individual development of each student. I am patient, loving and positive, I plan well-thought-out interactive activities, which I guide properly while giving much freedom.
For adults I offer conversation classes, using the direct method, which will help students be confident and fluent in speaking English fairly quickly, even if they don't have time to study hard. I also offer English for business, English for travel, interviews, work, and help with CVs, cover letters, speeches or presentations of research papers.
In webcam classes (Skype for example) I offer structured material, upload PDF documents, text and grammar exercises, as well as links to listening practices. The classes by webcam can be for children too, this all depends on you.
Contact me, you will not regret it!

Languages are the future of the future. In the age of communication and global advances, it is essential to know how to speak at least one foreign language in addition to your own. And that's where I come into the equation.

I'm not a friend of conventional methods, but my 11+ years of experience shows me that my methodology works. School revision courses to pass exams, conversation to learn the language and communicate with it, preparation for obtaining official language diplomas... Whether it's English, French or Spanish: I'm all about it charge !

The languages are the future of the future. In the era of communication and advances throughout the world, it is essential to know what language is extraneous, in addition to propia. There you are, you enter into the process.

I am not a friend of the conventional methods, but after more than 11 years of experience I know that my methodology works. Meal classes to learn to learn exams, conversation to learn the language and communicate with it, preparation to get official language titles... There are English, French or Spanish: ¡yo lo haré realidad!

언어는 미래의 미래입니다. 의사소통과 세계적인 발전의 시대에, 자신의 언어 외에 적어도 하나의 외국어를 말할 줄 아 는 것은 필수적입니다. 그리고 그것이 바로 제가 방정식에 들어가는 부분입니다.

저는 전통적인 방법을 별로 좋아하지 않지만, 11년 이상의 경험을 통해 제 방법론이 효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있습니다. Page !
