Professional Native English Teacher

Hello everyone! I'm Jamie. I am a fully certified, native speaking, TEFL teacher, with over 5 years of teaching experience in Spain and South East Asia.

I love running, I enjoy competing in local races including marathons. I also have a passion for hiking, I try to escape to the Picos de Europa as much as I can!

I have helped hundreds of students achieve their English goals and prepare for the Oxford and Cambridge exams. I have taught English to Spanish, Cambodian, Vietnamese and Chinese students of all ages and levels, from toddlers and school children, to top professionals such as doctors at Valdecilla hospital in Santander and Electrical Engineers at Viesgo's headquarters in Adarzo, Cantabria.

I am constantly aware of the importance of my professional image and I dress smartly during all my lessons. I speak with clear, neutral British accent and my voice is very easy to understand. I use a high quality microphone and webcam for all my lessons. I also speak basic Spanish at a B1 level and I’m progressing with the language everyday.

I am a fully qualified, Electrical Installation Engineer with over 14 years experience in the UK. I have had the opportunity to mentor many young apprentices and trainees throughout my engineering career.

I have built up a vast knowledge of English grammar structures, as well as concise explanations and engaging methods to teach them. You will laugh!😊

I am determined to be as well informed as possible, to provide my students with a high quality learning experience. I have lots of hands on teaching experience and I use a light hearted and relaxed teaching style, which I find brings out the best results in my students. My classes are based on controlled conversation, focusing on different grammar points and new vocabulary that you can use immediately, in your everyday life.

Throughout my teaching career, I have gained valuable class management skills and have found the best techniques to help my students stay focused and engaged during my lessons.
