Teaching Experience

I have been teaching for 25+ years, in Spain and UK mainly. I have prepared the secondary school pupils to the common 13+ exam, GCSE, A Level and the European Baccalaureate. I tutor pupils of secondary and also primary school pupils, from five years old children, in one to one tuition or small groups. I also do after school clubs. Last but not least, I teach adults who come to me for different reasons, tourism, a foreign partner, a house in the foreign country, etc. or professional reasons.

Tutoring Approach

I will make sure that for the exams you are prepared for the four skills, reading, writing, listening and speaking and all the requirements for your subject and level, but tailored to your own specific needs. I also teach you the skills to understand a text or an audio extract using the grammar and inferring the meanings according to the context. Grammar with the reform has become a central point of the learning process and I make sure that this is covered as well. For the adult, I generally use methods that are created by native linguist and follow a rigorous progression, which allow the student to go back home with all the material to revise and exercises. I will also add other documents if needed. The lessons for the children are fun, with songs and colouring etc. but there is also a real learning process, that goes beyond presentations and the knowledge of the colours. For all the levels I use a good number of platforms with interactive exercices, games, videos etc. Google Doc and an interactive whiteboard, according to the needs.
