Growing up bilingual in German and English was as challenging as it was exciting and an experience that inspired my love for languages. Now I would love to share my knowledge on effortlessly mastering the ins and outs of these two infamous languages with you!

The lessons are hands-on, easily understandable and true-to-life, so you can go and use what you've learned right away. Moreover, I like to customise the lessons to the topics and hobbies that interest you so that we can build progress on familiar sole, have you make better connections to the language and have an overall better learning experience.

If it works with your schedule, I would also strongly recommend that we make homework a part of your class structure.

I am confident we can use whatever foundation and experiences you have to help you meet your language goals - whether you just want to smooth out the kinks or start from the very beginning.

You and I can figure this out together!

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats.
Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Por las mañanas trabajo en una empresa de telemárketing en BCN en un ambiente multicultural donde el inglés es nuestra lengua vehicular y a partir de las 16h tengo disponibilidad.

Actualmente soy profesor de inglés en la Academia English Studio, en Cornellà de Llobregat en turno de tardes. Todos los niveles y edades. Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano.

My name is Xavier.
I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home.

Professional Objective: English teacher.

Hello! My name is Anthony and I am an English teacher! I have a lot of experience learning and teaching languages and I love to share my knowledge with others.

My methodology is to incorporate the new language into your day to day with simple, interesting and fun tasks. It relies heavily on conversation so that students lose their fear of speaking and can express themselves confidently and effortlessly. I try to find what my students are most passionate about and interested in, so that classes are as easy and easy as possible. I try to make my students learn English and at the same time interesting topics about the world, other cultures, geography, travel, history etc and current issues.

During my life I was also more self-taught and learned more on my own than within the system we already know. I have developed very effective learning methods and I am very happy to be able to share it with my students. These methods can help you learn any skill, new disciplines, and new languages. The fact of learning a new language is an incredible experience since it opens your mind and the opportunities in life on a personal and professional level.

I have been studying languages for a lifetime, it is my great passion. My classes are nothing like the conventional learning system and I try to make learning a pleasant and fun process. Because for me that is the best way to learn

- Language coaching
- Business English
- Roleplaying
- Work-related English

A passionate and creative student with more than 10 years of experience in communication in the English language. I am here to help you discover the world of English in a fun and very practical way.

My main goal is to improve your speaking by using only English during our classes, as well as enhance your grammar, reading and listening skills. The classes with me are engaging and full of creativity. Moreover, I differentiate myself from other tutors by using my own methodology in teaching. My lessons are a combination of many books, where I pick the most efficient exercises to learn and make a personal "book" for each student depending on what requires more work. From time to time, I organise a group call/meeting, where my students and I communicate with each other over a cup of tea. That way, my scholars get to be in a multicultural environment, learning how to understand English with different accents and build connections with others in a new language.

I have completed an IELTS (International English Language Testing System) examination in 2019 with a CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) level of B2. In my last EF SET (EF Standart English Test) in 2022, the results have shown an Advanced English Level (C1). In addition, I have studied bachelor's in Psychology in English for 3 years. These days, English is my first language to use in day-to-day life, which allows me to practice it 24/7, always finding something new for myself to learn.

As for the lessons themselves, they are online (Skype, worldwide) or face-to-face at the student's location (Barcelona). If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to send me a private message, I will always be happy to answer!

See you soon! :)

As a friendly tutor that will make lessons fun for you, I want to empower you to achieve your goals! I am able to match the needs of my students depending on their ability level and age. Ranging from five to seventy five, my students appreciate my individualised approach to their learning and my constant attention to their well being and detail. I try to make lessons fun so that you can be empowered to achieve your best results possible!

Qualifications

After completing a Political Science degree with a focus in International Relations and Spanish at UCLA, I finished, with merit, a postgraduate business degree (MBA) at the University of Liverpool. In addition, I am a certified high school mathematics teacher in the United States with experience teaching subjects such as Algebra I, Algebra II, and test preparation. I taught high school math for multiple years in East LA with the program Teach for America that places top university graduates in under served neighbourhoods. As I lived in the UK for many years and have taught many British students, I am also intimately familiar with the UK curriculum. Furthermore, I have tutored students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for many years. Lastly, I have a TEFL credential, which has allowed me to teach English to dozens of students.

If you are about to learn any of these languages - you obviously have a purpose. I am not going to give you exercises from books, that’s not how it actually works. We will work on something else - understanding. First of all, i can explain you or your child WHY do you need a language, and then just teach :)

Look for NINI coaching and languages. My experience? One of my first studies was at Fontys Lerarenopleiding (Tilburg) to become a Spanish teacher. Part of this involved teaching Spanish to teenagers at a high school, tutoring my university classmates in Dutch, and staying in Madrid to study at Nebrija University for a month. I have about 10 years of teaching experience: individual and group classes, with children and adults, online and in person. I've lived in Spain (currently in Barceloneta) with my partner since 2019. I studied in Chile for 5 months and in Mexico for 3 months for my master's degree. I love explaining, learning, and teaching new things, and I promise I have the necessary patience!

I'm happy to help you if you need a hand with your homework and/or to review any or all of your subjects. I'm a science teacher, but I can help you with English. If you live in Catalonia, I can also help you with Catalan. If you need me, don't hesitate.

Graduated from Georgetown University (Washington, DC, USA). With over 7 years of experience teaching in Italy, Peru, and Spain. I am also fluent in Spanish and Italian, and proficient in French. I believe that learning a language should be a dynamic and engaging process, where priority is given to speaking and listening, especially since the student can study grammar on their own. While I can obviously clarify grammar questions during classes, I believe that the best use of a student's time is speaking and listening with a native speaker. I have taught students from all walks of life, and many have been surprised by the speed of their progress: with the most advanced methods in the field, which are also engaging and dynamic, language learning can be easy and even fun! I am very patient, welcoming, and dynamic. I can travel all over Barcelona city, and to start, I prefer to meet at a coffee shop.

This course is designed for young people and adults who want to improve their English for life, work or official exams in a practical way adapted to their needs.

The classes are online and fully personalized, according to your level, goals, and learning pace. We focus on oral communication, fluency, and confidence, working with real-life situations such as meetings, presentations, interviews, emails, travel, the FCE, or the TOEFL.
The correction is done naturally and progressively, to help you move forward safely and without blocks.
I use current materials and digital resources and, when useful, artificial intelligence tools to support learning, always in a guided manner and as a complement to classroom work.

My goal is to guide you so that you see real progress and can use English with greater confidence, in the professional, academic, or whatever life throws your way.
