About me:
As a seasoned chess player with over 15 years of experience, I have honed my skills and competed in various international tournaments, showcasing my love for the game.

The English language is increasingly becoming an essential skill. I plan my lessons individually and orientate myself towards your goals. If you want to work from your school textbook, use online resources, or have a less structured conversational class, we can make it happen. Achieving confidence and motivation is key.

I am a native English speaker from Scotland with a TEFL qualification. I have tutored over 100 children aged 7-17 with various organisations, most notably the American International School in Vienna.

My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics.

This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused.

I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

I guide my students from beginner to advanced levels, helping them gain confidence, improve their fluency, and achieve their academic or professional goals in

• English
• French or
• Spanish

Native level English with dynamic, practical and personalized classes according to the age, level and objectives of the student.
Extensive experience with those who are learning the language from scratch or want to improve for work.

I have a special enthusiasm for teaching children, using play and dynamic activities to create a solid foundation in the language from an early age.

I spent the last four years teaching languages in schools and colleges in England to students ranging from age six to adults, and it's a joy to share my passion for languages with others. I now live in Madrid and am eager to connect with families, groups of students, or individual tutors who would like one-on-one lessons to improve their confidence and fluency in Spanish, French, and English.

My own experience learning Spanish and French inspires me to find diverse and creative ways to strengthen my understanding of grammar rules and vocabulary. I love exploring a language through movies, music, news, games, and more.

From my experience, creating a relationship based on trust and shared interests helps my students develop their skills, confidence, and fluency.

I'm really looking forward to starting this language learning journey with you!

In today’s world, English speaking skills are extremely relevant in each and every field. Whether it is career or school related, being fluent in English boosts your skills. While you can write an essay using ChatGPT, it is equally important to be able to spontaneously write or speak this language.

Since 2022, I have taught spoken English. It started as a summer workshop and later developed into private tutoring. I love working with different individuals and curating courses based on their needs. In the process, I myself learn a lot of new things as well.

If you want a friendly tutor to practice and improve your English, feel free to contact me.
