Being a native English speaker means I can bring you more than just grammar practice, I can help you develop better pronunciation and learn native phrases and words you wouldn’t learn in a standard classroom setting. The teaching techniques I use are customised to the needs of each student depending on their current English level and objectives. My lessons involve conversation practice as well as reading and writing through an online platform. All my teaching material is created through the Oxbridge Learning English programme. This means you will have the opportunity to access to an abundance of exclusive educational resources only available through this prestigious learning system.

Hello! I'm Isobel, a TEFL certified English teacher from London. I have extensive experience in private tutoring in English literature, history, and English as a second language.

My methods are based on the communicative approach, which aims to foster confidence and English fluency in students. Above all, I want English to be something that my students like to learn. To this end, I design my classes to be fun, including authentic materials in line with my students' interests, whether it be art, politics, sports or cooking.

In my experience, each student comes with specific needs and that is why I strive to create a tailored program. We will work on the four language skills, speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, through activities that are relevant to your needs and goals.

Do you need to use English to write emails at work? Then we will practice writing and rewriting emails. Do you want to speak more in English during meetings? Next, we will focus on "dramatizing" these scenarios. Are you about to take an academic course in which you will have to write essays in English? No problem! We will focus on reading and writing in an academic context. Or perhaps your in-laws are native English speakers? Excellent! Then we'll work on the general conversation.

To this end, I currently offer four types of English classes depending on the needs of my students: general English, business English, exam preparation and academic English.

My own experience learning Spanish and Romanian has taught me the difficulty, but also the incredibly rewarding nature of language learning. Let me help you make it easier! Book a lesson with me and let's start improving your fluency and, above all, your confidence in English!

Hey, hi, hello!

I invite you to individual English Conversational Classes with humor! Learning a language does not have to be boring and monotonous. Classes with me will allow you to learn English quickly and pleasantly. Grammar exercises will not be the main part of the classes (unless requested). I will put an emphasis on conversations because communication is one of the most important skills. Being familiar with the language is the key to success!

Since I was a little kid I had English conversation with an American Native. I have traveled to United States a few times for a longer period of time. I have studied both my Bachelor's Degree and my Master's Degree in English.

I guarantee original and effective classes in a stress-free atmosphere!

Classes can be held in my apartment in Gracia (near metro Joanic) or in another previously agreed place.

Feel free to contact me! ;)

My way of teaching Spanish is based on two pillars: adaptability and intentionality.
From levels A1 to C2, each course is tailored to your learning style, your interests, and your goals. I don't offer one-size-fits-all classes: each session has a clear objective and well-thought-out materials so you can progress in a real and natural way, connecting language and culture. If you're looking for meaningful learning, welcome: we'll start whenever you want.

All my lessons are created to be 100% adapted to your specific needs.

I use the immersion method of teaching, which is an incredibly effective way to improve your level of English and fluency in the language.

One main focus of my lessons is conversational fluency, where we will focus on pronunciation and practice speaking.
From beginning to end, our classes will be filled with interesting conversations and activities, and we will only speak in English, about topics that you have chosen to discuss.

My students have described my lessons as interesting, inspirational and motivating; this makes learning and using the English language easier and more rewarding.

I am a high school English teacher from Australia with a decade of teaching experience. I have taught in Australia, England, and Chile and have recently moved to Barcelona.

I am offering after-school tutoring in the subject of English (Language/Literature), whether it be in the British, IB, or American curriculum. (Based on my experience, they are all thankfully very similar!).

I am passionate about the English language and have a Master in Writing and Publishing from RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. In my lessons, I always focus on both improving students' English grades and deepening students' appreciation for the English language. (The latter is more difficult than the former 🙃)

I am happy to do lessons at my place in Gracia, online, or for an extra fee, at the student's house. This travel fee begins at €5 for Gracia and surroundings, and increases modestly for greater travel time.

Whether you are just beginning or already have experience with English, having a tutor is an extremely useful resource. From beginning to learn the language to studying for school and tests, conversation, and even working towards an English certificate (A1-C2), having a tutor will help you bridge the gap from where you are and where you want to be. I am from the United States, have a TEFL certificate and three years of experience teaching English in Barcelona, having taught in preschools, academies, and online, to an age range of preschoolers to adults.
All ages and levels welcome!

I am an economics and sports teacher at a German high school and have been an English, mathematics and German tutor and private tutor for 5 years.

My experience has taught me that there is no single right way to teach students. I try to find individually suitable methods for each group/student to convey the lesson content.

Feel free to contact me for an in-person or online meeting. We can then work together to develop a suitable concept for tutoring/lessons/tutoring for school, language courses, or your company.
