Connecting Across Cultures: The Practical Use of English

A partir de 121.82 $ /h

English is widely used as a common language in international business, education, and online communication. For students as young as 6, learning English opens doors to knowledge, as many educational resources, websites, and international programmes use English as a main language. It helps young learners access information, build confidence, and communicate with peers from different parts of the world.

For adults, including those up to 65 and beyond, English remains equally important. It supports career development, travel, and lifelong learning. In many workplaces, English is used for communication, meetings, and professional writing. Being able to understand and use English can improve job opportunities and make it easier to work in international environments.

Beyond work and study, English also enriches daily life. It allows people to enjoy films, books, news, and online content in their original form. Most importantly, it helps build connections—whether through friendships, cultural exchange, or global collaboration.

In a rapidly changing world, English is not just a subject to learn, but a practical tool that supports communication, understanding, and personal growth at every stage of life.

Acerca de mí

I am an experienced English language educator with a solid track record in higher education, responsible for designing and leading programmes that respond to changing learner and institutional needs. I take a practical approach to curriculum development, classroom delivery, and learner support, with a clear focus on outcomes and standards.

Before moving into education, I worked in marketing management and corporate communications within established financial institutions. That experience shaped my discipline in planning, communication, and stakeholder management; skills I continue to apply when leading classes, coordinating programmes, and working with colleagues across functions.

My transition into education was a deliberate career decision. It has strengthened my resilience, judgment, and ability to work with people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. I value consistency, professionalism, and steady improvement in daily work.

Experiencia / Calificaciones

I bring over two decades of experience teaching Academic and Business English across a wide range of educational settings. My work includes designing curricula, developing teaching materials, and delivering courses tailored to different learner goals. I have worked with highly diverse groups, from secondary school students preparing for further study to professionals seeking career advancement and retirees learning for personal enrichment. This diversity has shaped my ability to adjust teaching strategies, content, and pace to suit varying abilities and expectations.

In addition, I am currently a columnist for a Chinese newspaper, where I write a regular column aimed at motivating and teaching everyday English to Hong Kong primary school students. This role allows me to translate language concepts into accessible and engaging content for younger learners.

My teaching approach combines practical communication skills with a strong academic foundation, ensuring that learners can apply English effectively in both study and workplace contexts. I place particular emphasis on clarity, structure, and purposeful language use.

Earlier in my career, I gained experience in marketing and corporate communications within the financial sector. This professional background continues to inform my teaching, especially in Business English, where real-world relevance, precision, and audience awareness are essential.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

¡Hola! I am here to help you achieve your language learning goals. I am a native speaker of Spanish with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and a doctorate in Linguistics from the University of Manchester, where I carried out research in Second Language Acquisition. An enthusiastic language learner myself, I enjoy finding new, effective ways to teach and learn languages. With 20 years of experience working with teenagers and adults, I am happy to support you through your journey, no matter if you're a beginner or an experienced learner who needs practice.
I can offer:
- Communication-based grammar lessons, where we focus on a certain grammar structure (e.g. the imperfecto), we learn the usage and then practice with real-world situations
- Targeted conversation practice (structured and semi-structured around a topic)
- Accent reduction, where we learn some phonetics and IPA to improve your pronunciation
- Listening training (work with different Spanish accents or a specific one)
- Exam preparation (DELE or school exams)

The best way to learn Spanish is by actively using the language. In this lesson, I help students step by step to improve their speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills.

The lessons are practical, interactive, and tailored to the student's level and goals. We work with conversations, exercises, role-playing, texts, and everyday situations so that the language becomes immediately applicable. We can also focus on school assignments, exams, pronunciation, or building more confidence while speaking.

I pay close attention to clear explanations and active practice, so that grammar is not only learned but truly understood. Whether you are a beginner or already have more experience with Spanish, the lessons are tailored to your pace and learning style.

My goal is to make Spanish accessible, motivating, and practical, so that students can use the language with more pleasure and confidence.
