English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Spanish is the world's second-most spoken language. Therefore, learning it and being able to, at least, understand the most basics is indeed essential! This class is for either beginner students, advanced students or for people that want to improve their vocabulary and speaking skills! I assign homework after every lesson and provide progress reports.

I am a native Spanish speaker from Canary Islands, Spain. I am really passionate about literature and I've always been really good at linguistics. I studied dramatic arts so I am a really sociable, empathic person, that likes to learn and teach by having fun!
I learnt that the best way to learn a lenguage is by simply listening a talking! So no grammar sheets, no filling papers and completing sentences. This is unusefull. Do you want to learn spanish? Then... let's talk!
I can organize every class for topics we can talks about, but I am looking forward to know what is the best way for fou to learn, so you can always let me know what is more helpful for you.
I have experience as an extracurricular teacher with children and teenagers. Back in Canary Islands I used to teach literature, history and Spanish language.
I am also flexible, if there is something you are specificly curious about, we can do it (grammar, spanish history, spanish exams, learn about different accents, etc)

Thank you for trusting me!

Always wanted to learn Spanish, but the regular lessons go too fast and/or it doesn't stick, then follow these tailor-made lessons.

Why class for 40+, because we have learned from our own experience how difficult it is to learn another language later in life and that most books/courses are based for younger students.

All lessons are adapted to your individual needs and speed.

You do not need to purchase any books, all materials will be delivered by email. This is because we work with several books and in this way we can offer a lot of learning material and thus make the learning material varied (and also rehearse more often if necessary.)

There is no minimum or maximum number of lessons, you are the one who determines the frequency. Of course you can also do these lessons with your partner.

Lessons are given online via Skype and last 1.5 hours at a time.
Lessons can be given during the day or in the evening.

I’m Juan, certified native Spanish teacher!
To learn a new language you just need to practice, practice and practice again... and have fun in the process!!
So we will TALK about any topic (sports, culture, our hobbies, music, technology, traveling...) and I will give you some tips and corrections when is needed!
Even if you are a begginer or you have high level... you will improve your Spanish. The bigger linguistic immersion the better, what means: talking and listening Spanish as much as you can!

Waiting for you already! :)

I am a native Swedish, Spanish and English speaker and provide tutoring in all those languages.

During the tutoring sessions the student and I will look for ways of learning that works best for them, so they can be as engaged and retain as much new knowledge as possible. This comes from listening to the student and seeing their strengths and areas where more support is needed.
The key in my teaching is to make it fun. I am engaged and motivated with my students, and want to help them see the fun and value in what they are doing.

Lessons are customised to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English, Swedish or Spanish for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can also be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent in one of these languages, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Specific subjects that interest the student can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge within this topic.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration can be adjusted. I also do lessons for siblings. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for my students.

Education:
I have ample experience working with kids as I worked at a YMCA summer camp in Sweden for many summers, supervising a group of 10-12 kids around the clock for 4 weeks, joining/monitoring them on their group activities/classes, as well as everything else logistically around them. I also have a genuine interest in child development and pedagogy as a whole.

I have a bachelors degree in Social Psychology and one in Media and Communications from Uppsala University in Sweden.

Do you want to improve your English but don't know where to start? In my English tutoring sessions, we'll first assess your current level and learning goals. Based on that, I'll develop a personalized approach that's right for you. Lessons can focus on:
- grammar
- vocabulary
- reading and listening skills
- oral conversations (speaking and building self-confidence)
- school assignments, tests or presentations.

I teach my lessons in an accessible and proactive way. Because I'm still a student myself, I know exactly what works and what doesn't. The tutoring sessions are suitable for pupils, students, and adults.
