As a CELTA-qualified English teacher, I bring both expertise and passion to my classes, whether online or in person in Barcelona. Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, my native English proficiency is complemented by an understanding of language acquisition, allowing me to guide students of all levels toward their language goals.

My teaching methodology is student-centered, focusing on your unique needs and learning style. I believe in creating a dynamic and interactive environment where communication takes center stage. In each class, you'll find a mix of speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities, all designed to build your confidence and fluency. I often use authentic materials, such as articles, podcasts, and videos, to ensure that you're not just learning the language, but also understanding cultural nuances. I find that this is what students need the most, as It language used in the real world and not just in the classroom.

Lessons are tailored to your specific objectives—whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your business English, or simply looking to converse in a more natural way in social settings. My approach is flexible, meaning I will adapt to your pace and progress. I incorporate a variety of techniques, including task-based learning, communicative activities, and error correction that is both supportive and constructive.

Coming from a solid academic background, I am committed to making your learning journey both effective and enjoyable, as I know learning can be a difficult task. Together, we will work on achieving your language goals, ensuring that each class brings you one step closer to fluency and confidence in English
