About Me

Classes available for ✅B2, ✅C1 and ✅C2 students.
I have been teaching English successfully in Spain for 30 years. I work at the Language Centre of a local university and online as a teacher and translator. I have a degree from the UK in Communication Studies and a degree from Spain in Social Work. I also have a University Diploma in Education from the UK.
My teaching style is very much based on guiding the student towards increased communication. Some require improved fluency, and others look for greater accuracy. Managed practice with practical correction is important in both cases.
