Over 6 years of experience teaching conversational English to students of all ages and levels, from kindergarten through adults. I focus on building real-world fluency through natural, relaxed discussion — helping you express yourself clearly and confidently in everyday situations.

I currently teach corporate English with Astex, one of Madrid's leading language schools, delivering 1-to-1 and online classes for professionals. I help with presentations, meetings, emails, and workplace communication. My background in bioengineering and pharma means I'm especially strong with technical and healthcare industry English.

I've taught complete beginners of all ages — from young children in Spanish primary schools to adult learners starting from scratch. As a bilingual speaker, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and I make lessons clear, structured, and stress-free.

I grew up in San Diego, California and went to high school in the US, so American English is my native accent. If you want to sound natural in American English — whether for work, travel, or daily life — I'm your teacher.

I've worked with students preparing for Cambridge exams on tight timelines and professionals who need to improve quickly for work. I can design focused, high-frequency lesson plans tailored to your deadline and goals.

I help students build the practical vocabulary and confidence they need for travel — airports, hotels, restaurants, directions, and small talk. My own experience living across Mexico, the US, Italy, and Spain means I understand what travelers actually need to communicate.

I help professionals prepare for English-language job interviews, including practicing common questions, building confident responses, and refining pronunciation and professional vocabulary. My corporate teaching experience with Astex gives me insight into what employers expect.

I have extensive experience preparing students for Cambridge exams at A2 Key, B1 Preliminary, and B2 First levels. I've prepared students for these exams across multiple schools in Spain, including through the NALCAP and BEDA programs, with a focus on all four skills — reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

I spent five years as an English language assistant in Spanish primary and secondary schools, working with children from age 5 through 18. I create fun, interactive lessons using games, activities, and visual materials that keep young learners engaged while building real language skills.

I can help students with English schoolwork, assignments, and exam revision. I've worked directly in Spanish schools supporting students with grammar, reading comprehension, writing tasks, and oral practice.
