Ryan Waldrop

Hi! My name is Ryan, and I'm from the United States. There, I taught kids with disabilities for 9 years. I moved to Madrid in 2019 in order to teach English and learn Spanish. I have been teaching English for 2 years. My teaching experience in Madrid has been 1-to-1 and 2-to-1 classes privately.

I travel and teach in companies, homes, and coffee shops. I have really enjoyed working with my students and want to continue to add more. I have experience working with both adults and kids. I'm TEFL certified to teach English. I also have a college degree in Science from the University of Mississippi.

My lessons include a theme (Holidays, Art, Humor, Food, etc.) and incorporate the 4 Language Skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. My classes range from 1 hour to 1.5 hours. I also offer Cambridge Prep.

I also offer conversation and pronunciation classes as well. Since the COVID started, I had to adapt to teaching online on Zoom. Now, I do both online and in-person classes.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, exploring Spain, and watching American Football. I also enjoy eating Tapas and indulging in Spanish culture. My Spanish level is a beginner. I want to continue to learn and practice Spanish. Eventually, I would like to see a Real Madrid match. I hope to be able to do that in 2021, if possible! The cities I've visited in Spain so far are Toledo, Cadiz, Bilbao, San Sebastian, Seville, and Barcelona!
