As a dynamic and passionate 28-year-old native English speaker based in Barcelona, I bring a vibrant and innovative approach to teaching English. My educational background, combined with my international experience, has equipped me with the pedagogical skills and cultural sensitivity needed to effectively teach a diverse student body.

My teaching philosophy centers on creating an engaging and inclusive learning environment. I employ a variety of teaching methods tailored to accommodate different learning styles and abilities. This includes the use of real-world applications to enhance language learning and retention. My lessons are designed to be interactive and communicative, encouraging students to actively participate and use English in practical, everyday situations.

I excel in adapting my teaching style to the individual needs of my students, focusing on their specific goals whether it be improving conversational skills, mastering grammatical accuracy, or expanding vocabulary. My approach is student-centered, fostering a supportive and motivating environment that encourages learners to push beyond their boundaries and gain confidence in their language abilities.

With a keen understanding of the nuances of language learning, I utilise the latest methods to ensure lessons are not only educational but also engaging and accessible.

Living in Barcelona, I also bring a unique international perspective that enriches the learning experience, providing students with a broader understanding of language in various cultural contexts. This international experience makes me an ideal candidate for teaching English to students from around the globe.
