Basil

I am an English teacher with more than 18 years of international teaching experience in the Philippines, the United States, Japan and Spain. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master’s degree in Teaching English Language Arts, together with additional experience in education and school management.

Throughout my teaching career, I have worked with students from different ages, backgrounds and levels. My approach is practical, personalized and focused on helping students become more confident and effective users of English. I adapt my lessons according to each student’s age, level, learning needs and personal goals.

Depending on the student, lessons may include conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, writing and practical communication. I like to combine structured learning with activities that encourage students to participate actively rather than simply memorize information.

For children and teenagers, I aim to create a positive and comfortable learning environment where they can gradually develop confidence in using English. I also pay attention to the areas where a student may need additional support, whether that is speaking, schoolwork, grammar, vocabulary or overall communication.

I also offer a convenient option for families with two children. I can teach each sibling individually for one hour consecutively in the same home, allowing both students to receive personalized attention without the family having to arrange lessons with two different teachers.

I currently offer face-to-face lessons in Madrid and nearby areas, depending on location and availability. My goal is to provide reliable, personalized and practical English lessons that help students make real progress and feel increasingly comfortable communicating in English.
