About Me

I am a teacher of English as a second language who has been based in Madrid, Spain, since 2004. I specialise in preparing students for Cambridge exams (FCE, CAE and Proficiency), as well as other exams such as TOEFL/TOEIC and IELTS.

I also have a deep understanding of what adult professionals need to do in order to improve their communication in English at work or in their career. I focus on communicative skills (speaking and listening), and make sure my students are ready to deal with any real-life situations they may encounter.

Having studied two foreign languages at university, I also understand the importance of a good understanding of the grammar of a foreign language. I can explain any doubts or questions regarding English grammar clearly and precisely. I have a wide range of materials and resources ready to use in class.

I had already been doing online classes since 2015 and once the pandemic began, I took the opportunity to become proficient in all the current and relevant online platforms and tools.
