Hello! I'm Anca Macinca, a passionate English tutor with a Bachelor's degree in International Studies and Spanish. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to reach their full potential.

I specialize in teaching ESL, preparing students for official English language exams, and general or conversational English to students of all levels, from school to college and even adult/professional learners. I believe in customizing my approach to cater to the unique needs and learning styles of each student, ensuring effective communication and comprehension. I thoroughly enjoy motivating my students through games or competitive activities when applicable and I also love getting to know my students and to learn about their culture, and building relationships with them.

With interactive lessons, personalized feedback, and a focus on practical application, I aim to enhance your language skills and increase your confidence in using English in real-life situations. I believe that in today's society the ability to speak English is a vital skill that everyone needs, whether it is for work, travel, entertainment, or simply for personal growth.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello! My name is Catalina but everyone calls me by middle name, Anca. I was born in Romania but I grew up and went to university in the USA, and after traveling to different corners of the world, I chose to settle down in Barcelona, where I've been for the past 9 years. I'm very passionate about art, especially painting, and most recently I've started doing pottery. Apart from that, I enjoy spending time in nature, doing yoga, reading and cooking. I love teaching English because there's never a boring moment; I enjoy getting to know my students and learn about their cultures, and last but not least, seeing them improve their level is extremely rewarding.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been teaching English for over 7 years; I got my TESOL certificate in Barcelona in 2017 and since then I have worked in two language academies. During these years I have taught English to ages between 8 to 60, which included all levels (from A1 to C2), mixed-level conversation classes, and I have a lot of experience with exam preparation for FCE, CAE, CPE, APTIS and TOEFL. During the pandemic I taught online classes to private students as well as groups using a variety of platforms. I am familiar with using a number of English text books but have also often created my own material or adapted material to meet my students' needs. I really enjoy playing games with my students whenever possible in order to review content, to get my students to interact or to feel more motivated.
