About Me


Hello! I’m Declan, a native English teacher from Ireland, CELTA-certified (Cambridge), and hold an honours Business degree from the University of London.

With 15+ years of experience teaching students worldwide, I’m currently based in Queretaro, Mexico but have taught in Madrid and Dublin too. I specialize in conversation classes that help you improve fluency, build confidence, and make learning fun! I focus on error correction in a supportive way, ensuring you stay motivated and speak as much as possible.

I’ve helped many students achieve excellent results in IELTS, FCE, and CAE exams, with a focus on speaking, writing, and vocabulary. No matter your level, I offer a relaxed, enjoyable approach to improve any aspect of your English.

My classes include:
- Grammar lessons
- Exam preparation (IELTS, FCE, CAE)
- Conversation practice
- New vocabulary & phrasal verbs
- Business English & interview prep

When I’m not teaching, I love sports, staying fit, and mixing electronic music!

Book a trial lesson, and we’ll discuss your goals, assess your level, and create a plan just for you. If you enjoy the class, leave a rating. See you in class soon!

By the end, you’ll have a clear plan for your lessons to help you reach your objectives and make progress confidently.
