General English, conversation and exam preparation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Talk! Talk! Talk!
If you have trouble speaking fluently, you always go blank, it takes a lot of effort to construct sentences or find the words when you need them, we can work and improve this!
If you have problems with grammar, I prepare classes adapted to your objective with specific exercises and specific resources.
If you are preparing for an exam (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge, Official Language School...), I can help you with the preparation with specialized material, focused corrections and important guidelines when taking the test so that we can iron out your errors and controlling your production.
Let's do this!

About Me

My name is Irene and right now I am 38. I come from Guadalajara but live in beautiful Barcelona.
I understood very early that I like teaching languages and studied my masters of Linguistics applied to Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language to do so. I have lived in France, India, Germany and Russia teaching Spanish. During these 10 years teaching (and counting!) I learnt a lot about different methods, people and logics.
I love teaching and learning new languages because it brings us closer.

Education

My bachelor is Translation and Interpreting (English and French). I did one year as Spanish assistant in schools in the South of France and understood that I liked teaching (funny enough I discovered with time that it was adults I prefer to work with) and then studied my masters of Linguistics applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language to do so.

While working these last 10 years, I have done different courses to learn more about my profession.
I am also a certified tutor for SIELE.

Already done some Spanish but want to improve? Got some grammar issues? Want to work on your communication? Preparing for an exam? You always wanted to learn Spanish and have decided that the time might be just now? I can help you! My name is Irene. I come from Guadalajara, a town close to Madrid, but live in beautiful Barcelona. I understood very early that I like not only learning but also teaching languages and studied my Masters of Linguistics Applied to Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I have lived in France, India, Germany and Russia teaching Spanish. During these 15 years of teaching, I learnt a lot about different methods, people and logics. I use a variety of resources (textbooks, articles, small videos, audios...) providing examples, exercises and homework so that what is to be learnt is doable. I adapt my classes to what students want and need so they make the most of their time and money. I think it is very important for students to feel comfortable and safe. It is also essential that what we do and talk about in class makes sense and is relevant for you. It is your goal and personal style of learning what will define our classes. I also speak English, French, German and Russian. I can explain in the student′ s mother tongue if necessary although my goal will be to speak Spanish from the very beginning with affordable exercises adapted to your level. I love teaching and learning new languages because they bring us closer.

Gamze
Experienced English Teacher (B.S.Ed.) / Gifted Education Mentor (M.S.Ed.)
Hi there! I am an English teacher with 10 years of experience. In addition to teaching at school, I give interactive and holistic English lessons to groups or individuals. My academic field is the education of gifted students. I also conduct out-of-school support activities with these students and provide counseling to parents. Before we start working together, I offer a free initial meeting to get to know you and understand your needs. I am based in Haarlem, the Netherlands but I also offer online classes all over the world. I believe that any kind of effective learning is an adventure that begins with a personal bond and ends with autonomy. Peter Drucker says, "Learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change, and the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn." In this age, every paradigm is changing very fast, so the teacher must help students find out how they learn best. Instead of continuing to deliberately learn something for years, let's find this "know-how" for English and ourselves together!

Native English Lessons for all ages and abilities.
As a native English speaker sometimes I am asked: well why is there three different words for (their there and they’re but they all sound the same?) A question I would love to answer with you in one of our tutoring sessions. I can work with younger children to establish basics, right the way through to adults wishing to perfect their speaking skills. In addition, I have a plethora of English texts to work with for students wishing to focus on English Literature. I have an A-level and GCSE qualification in English. I will tailor lessons to your needs/ability and age. I provide speaking, listening and writing activities. For children, I will work with a shared document, where I will keep a record of your child’s progress, the actives we did and their homework. Parents are welcome to be present. For adults I will provide a shared document of your homework and progress. I am happy to offer online or in person sessions for children/adults. I can also offer help with university applications in the United Kingdom and English examination preparation and application. We can also discuss intensive lessons (every-day for 5 days) includes speaking, listening and writing.

French language classes for beginners who want to speak French.
French is spoken by 220 million in 5 continents or more speakers. It is the 2nd most commonly learned language after English, and it comes 6th for the number of people who speak it. It is one of the most preferably spoken languages in the world. It is very important to learn French because you will increase your chances of communicating in a non-English speaking country. In my French language classes, you will learn how to communicate in french. We will start with ; Greetings. You can begin with simples expressions as : Bonjour (hello), Au revoir (good bye), Comment allez vous ? (how are you?), Je m'appelle... ... Numbers, weather expressions, alphabet, how to tell time... ... The 6 possible french pronouns. ... Verbs and conjugation. ... Common nouns and adjectives.
