I am a friendly and experienced ESL teacher offering conversational English lessons for children and adults in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

I am an English as a Second Language teacher and I moved to Gran Canaria 3 months ago. I currently live in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and I am really enjoying immersing myself in Spanish culture. I am originally from Wales in the United Kingdom. I hold a Level 5 TEFL qualification and a First-Class Bachelor’s degree in Youth and Community Work, with experience supporting and teaching people of different ages, particularly young learners.

My lessons focus on practical, conversational English, adapted to each student’s individual goals and interests. We work through real-life situations such as ordering food, travelling, attending job interviews, and everyday social interactions.

I teach fully in English to help students build confidence and improve fluency through immersion. After each session, I provide a summary of the lesson with key vocabulary and useful phrases for independent practice and revision.

With children and teenagers, I focus on building strong foundations in English, from basic vocabulary and the alphabet through to simple sentence construction, in a structured and supportive environment.

My priority is to understand each learner’s needs so that every lesson is tailored, engaging, and effective for steady progress. I also enjoy adapting my teaching style to suit different learning speeds and personalities, ensuring each student feels supported, motivated, and able to progress at a comfortable and consistent pace, while building real confidence in speaking English.
