Claire Birch

I am a qualified secondary school teacher with British QTS and an international background in education, training, and recruitment. Originally from Ireland, I have spent the past 30 years living and working in several countries across Europe and internationally, which has given me a strong understanding of different cultures, communication styles, and learning needs.

After teaching in schools, I continued my career within the education sector as a teacher trainer and recruiter, working with both public and private schools around the world. This experience has given me extensive knowledge of teaching methodologies, lesson planning, assessment, student engagement, and adapting learning approaches to suit individual students' needs.

My classes are tailored to each learner’s goals, level, and confidence. I aim to create a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable developing their English naturally and confidently. My lessons focus on conversation, fluency, pronunciation, academic or professional English, interview preparation, or general communication skills, depending on the student’s needs.

I believe learning is most effective when students feel relaxed, motivated, and genuinely engaged, so I adapt my teaching style and materials to make lessons practical, relevant, and enjoyable.

I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, and classes are available online or in-person in and around Valencia city.
