About Me

My name is Dr. Vanessa. I am an American who lived and taught in Egypt for thirteen years. I recently moved to Malaga, Spain and have decided that I would like to live here for an extended period of time.

Each student, each level, each subject has brought me to the same conclusion: I love teaching. I am pleased to be able to help others learn – their successes are my successes. Teaching has also caused me to expand my knowledge and to appreciate the differences and similarities that all people possess. In Egypt I began teaching English, then, because teachers left the school, was asked to teach other subjects as well. Some of the subjects, such as history, were distant memories for me, and so, in order to teach them, I had to study and learn them first. This not only made me sympathetic with the students and what was expected of them, but also enabled me to learn. I like to incorporate games, role playing, and skits into the lessons to help students improve their academic skills while having fun. My personal philosophy is "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." I also believe that learning is a treasure, but it must be done in a manner that is worthwhile and fun. As a result, instead of saying, "Why do I need to know this?" my students say, "Can you tell me more about this?" It's a wonderful comment to hear.

Experience / Qualifications

I have many years of experience in teaching a variety of students in a variety of subjects: math, physics, English, biology, chemistry, history, business, Baccalaureate-preparation, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, SAT (English and Math), TOEIC, FCE, PET, KET, IGCSE, GCSE, CEFR, and TOEIC. In Egypt, I taught at Al Waha School, Basata School, and Taba Heights School, as well as provided private lessons. The majority of my lessons are taken by ten- to eighteen-year-old middle and high school students, although I do have students as young as three.
My oldest student is now seventy-four. My students have ranged in ability from absolute beginners to advanced levels. In private lessons, I develop a program that is specific to the student, to enable that student to progress to his or her ultimate aims. Since I’ve been in Spain, I’ve continued to work online with several of my students in Egypt.

I am an Italian native speaker and I am fluent in English, having lived a decade in a few different places in the UK. Furthermore I speak Spanish to a beginner-to-intermediate level.

I’ve got two passions in life: music and cultures and they both relate to languages. Music is known to be a universal language and different cultures connect with, and influence each other, through the use of spoken language.

My formal education lays in music, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow, and a five-year diploma as a Jazz bass player from the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan.

I’ve been teaching music for fifteen years and during the last one I've decided to expand over to languages, by taking up the challenge to combine my passion for teaching with the love for languages. I’ve developed the latter during my many years abroad, where I shared my everyday life with people from all over te world.

My method is essentially based on grammar and conversation, alternating the two based on the student’s level of fluency. Once the basics are mastered I focus on conversation, especially providing thorough explanation about typical words and expressions and their various acceptations within different contexts. At times I may also add the odd etymology side note when relevant. I also like to use readings upon subjects that are of the student’s interest, as this aids in nurturing their motivation.

Given the transformative and fluid nature of speech, my aim is to deliver an organic learning experience, able to be put to fruition from the start and in everyday life, but that also won’t fail to address the differences between formal and informal interactions. Hence, avoiding inhibit a swift communication in favour of grammatical accuracy.

A second level of my teaching focuses on expanding the student's writing skills and this is aimed to individuals who may have achieved a solid grasp of the basis and a wider knowledge on vocabulary. This is because writing is an art on its own and its objective is to convey one's true thoughts and feelings, therefore it requires a dedicated effort.

I can teach in English, Italian and Spanish and lessons can be either in person at your place or mine, or via Zoom.

I am a Mathematics student and I teach secondary and high school students.

I work especially with students who have struggled with mathematics or have lost confidence, helping them to understand the subject from the ground up and without relying on memorization.

In my classes I focus on explaining things clearly and practically, adapting to the student's pace so that they really understand what they are doing and gain confidence for exams.

Each student is different, so I adjust my working methods to get the most out of them without causing frustration.

My goal is not just to pass, but for the student to stop seeing mathematics as something impossible.

If your child is studying English or a language but gets lost in class, freezes up during exams, or studies and still doesn't see results... it's not a lack of ability, but a lack of good explanation and a little guidance.
I have a degree in Translation and Interpreting and two master's degrees in translation, in addition to a C1 level in English and more than six years of teaching experience.
📍I give private lessons in the Añoreta and Torre de Benagalbón area (also online), focused on something very specific: that you understand what you are doing and gain confidence.
I work primarily with elementary, middle, and high school students, helping them learn and prepare for exams. I explain things clearly and in a way that's tailored to each student, because often they just need someone to explain it well for it to "click."
I don't give generic classes, but I get involved with each person and adjust the classes to what they really need, whether it's to reinforce basics, prepare for an exam or get up to speed.
If you want to see if I fit what you need, write to me and we'll see without obligation 😊.

You will learn to read, speak and write in English in less than 4 months. I build personalised lesson plans according to each student's level and learning style. I believe that in order to learn something it needs to be interesting and fun. For the teacher and the student:)
In my class we would be practising English through games and activities, building slide shows, writing short stories and exploring the world around us.
