My Passion & How I Inspire

“My teaching differs necessarily depending on the subject. For language students, the emphasis is on communication and argument, which creates an understanding of grammar and structure. Languages encourage debate, and my lessons turn on the need to be able to say more. In both English and History, I continue the delight in argument and challenge that these subjects allow; I aim to teach an ability to write as fluidly and critically as we will read. In all subjects, the variety of media that I use test these skills against a broad range of settings, useful within the classroom and in the real world.”

My Experience

6 months teaching English Language and Literature in Madrid. Teaching mostly professionals from a wide range of industries, a significant minority of my teaching was to undergraduates.

My Reviews

‘Of course, the lessons were challenging, but I was able to discuss, read, and write in Spanish, which was worth it.’ - A. Martin, Cardiff
