English conversation practice, English language and grammar tutoring

I specify in tutoring English (grammar, reading, writing etc.) for foreign students preparing for school or university exams or who simply wish to practice the language. I can offer conversation practice for those wishing to advance particularly in their Spanish oral. I am a native speaker and can design a programme of lessons to suit the student's needs. If you would like to be assigned homework, this can be incorporated into the programme, and if you would prefer to adopt a more laid-back approach, this can also be provided for. I have experience teaching languages and am determined to make this experience as enjoyable as possible for those wishing to learn!

About Me

I am a hard working, enthusiastic student, having just completed my penultimate year at the University of Edinburgh studying Spanish and English Literature.

During my second year at university, I volunteered writing lesson plans and delivering Spanish lessons at a local primary school where there was a severe lack of language, human and other resources available. I worked in coordination with the students’ learning objectives in order to deliver rigorous content in a professional and inspiring way. Following this experience, I have volunteered for Walsingham Support during the Covid-19 pandemic. The charity provides support for individuals with learning difficulties, autism, brain injuries and complex needs. I teach Spanish to a small group of adults each week over video call to provide some educational respite during this unsettling time. On the back of these volunteering opportunities, I have experience with disadvantaged or struggling students and adopt an approach that combines audiovisual learning with more conventional teaching methods to ensure that my tutoring is both engaging and rigorous.

Reinforcement classes in English and Spanish for all levels, or reinforcement classes in all subjects for the little ones.
I give private classes, mainly English or Spanish classes. But there are also several basic level subjects that I can teach for children up to 4th grade. Regarding the methodology of my classes, I like to teach based on significant content, related to the interests and needs of the students to foster interest in the subject. Therefore, I try to design activities and exercises that are governed by a context that is enjoyable and fun for the student instead of teaching from dense theory and isolated words or phrases. I like to transmit the language as a communicative need and not as an academic process. That is, teach the language for daily life, not just to fulfill a subject.

English Lessons for Children and Adults with Native English Speaker
I am a native English Speaker from London England. I currently live in Valencia in Spain teaching English in a Primary school, children aged 4 years to 12 years. I really enjoy teaching and helping people improve and grow in confidence. I am a qualified teacher with a degree in Law. I actually practiced as a Lawyer for six years. I can teach remotely online, or somewhere in Valencia of your choosing. My lessons are fun and interactive. In the UK I have worked with children for the last ten years. I work at your speed and listen to you and create lessons to suit your needs.

Cameron
Native English Speaker offering lessons to kids in school
Hola! Me llamo Cameron, de Reino Unido. Estudiaba economía y finanzas en universidad. Soy profesor de inglés, matemáticas, economía, historia, y finanzas. Si quieres un profesor para enseñar a tu hijo o hija inglés or otra sujeto en ingles, no tienes que buscar más! Tengo experiencia laboral con niños de entre siete y 18 años. También, he enseñado finanzas al nivel universitario. Estoy aquí en Valencia para aprender español. Estoy haciendo una programa de nivel C1, entonces hablo suficiente bien para explicar cosas en español, pero doy clases de cualquiera en inglés. Abajo hay más sobre yo en inglés. Si querrías apredender más, aquí tienes mi correo electrónico y numero de teléfono: [email protected] +34 631173828 Experience I have a bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Glasgow and a master’s degree in Investment and Finance from the University of Strathclyde. As a natural extrovert, I worked in Sales and Customer Service for about two years. During this time, I was responsible for training new sales recruits and fellow customer service representatives. Recently at Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, I took on the responsibility of training my team’s newest member who had zero work experience. Training colleagues at work is quite like tutoring; to teach anyone requires a lot of energy, patience, and positivity – three things that I have in spades. It also requires being comfortable with explaining things multiple times and sometimes in different ways. Regrettably, most people lack compassion when teaching because they forget with time just how useless they felt at the start of their first job, or even their fifth job. Similarly, after mastering a subject a teacher can easily forget how much they struggled with it at school. Fortunately, I have a good memory. You will find me to be a very understanding and enthusiastic tutor. To the Student If you are reading this, it means that you have an ambition. That ambition might be getting into your dream university, landing a great job straight out of school, or simply being the best that you can be! If you put in the work, I promise I’ll help you achieve your goals. The road to success is a succession of smart decisions (say that quickly ten times) and seeking help is one of those smart decisions. There is nothing wrong with seeking help; no one in history has ever become successful without it. I had plenty of tutoring when I was at school, and it helped me get the grades that some of my teachers never believed I would get. I hope that your teachers are more encouraging than mine were, but the reality is that schoolteachers think in averages. If a teacher’s class average is an A, but the worst student gets a D, that teacher will celebrate. As your tutor, I will only celebrate when you get the grade you want. My classes are not going to be lectures, that wouldn’t be any fun for either of us. Each session will be focused on what you feel you need help with, and we will go through practice questions together. But don’t worry, it’ll be a lot more fun than you think! Just imagine how good it will feel to walk out of each exam with a smile on your face, knowing that you aced it. It’s an awesome feeling, I can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself! To the Parents My guess is you are reading this because you are not totally satisfied with the education being provided at your child’s school. As someone who received plenty of discouragement from teachers, from primary school all through most of high school, I appreciate the effect this can have on a student’s learning. It can also be tough for a student in a class of 20 to 30 to get the attention he/she needs from the teacher. I will be a refreshing change to what your child is used to. The most obvious advantage to private tutoring is that your child will have my undivided attention. Another advantage is that, without the distraction of peer pressure in school classes, your child will have the confidence to speak up more and ask questions judgement free. It will amaze you just how quickly your child will improve after a few tutoring sessions. Ultimately, I’m here to get your child top grades. No matter what grades your child is achieving now, I guarantee that the top grades are still attainable. It’s just a matter of learning and practice. Between school and tutoring, your child will get plenty of both. If you are interested in private tutoring, I would love to discuss how I might be of service. We can schedule a chat via telephone or videocall. Email: [email protected] Mobile: +34 631173828

I can focus on providing academic support, working on grammar issues or practicing conversation and vocabulary. I use online digital tools and I always look for the activities to be challenging but achievable.
