Damian

Damian is a British national, now residing and working in Spain, and a qualified English teacher. He has been teaching English in Madrid at various levels since 2001. He is a graduate of London University and possesses a Doctorate in Political Science. He has taught International Politics in London and Madrid and written on the subject. This academic dimension has at times served as an asset of relevance in his contemporary endeavours. Damian has an extensive language teaching experience in companies and in private tuition, to adults and children of differing ages and skills, in a plurality of professional ambits, in financial, commercial and legal companies, with individual and group classes, from beginner to advanced levels of fluency, and in language academies, both presentially and, more recently, increasingly online, with rewarding results for students. He is equally fluent in French, which has been mainly but not exclusively requested for school children in primary and secondary grades, and when this teaching opportunity has arisen it has also proved to be very successful.

English classes in companies have always strived to maintain the alertness, interest and engagement of time-constrained individuals and the teaching focuses on vocabulary, formal and informal, and grammar, telephone and conversational aspects of English at different levels, including business and current affairs issues, colloquial expressions and idioms. Particular attention paid in engaging students by focusing lessons on themes or aspects of specific areas of their business activities and interests. English tuition classes for children range from Primary level at beginner, elementary and intermediate levels, to ESO and Bachillerato, during school academic courses, with follow-up of school contents.
Damian particularly values his teaching in various companies and his previous experience as political analyst and academic professional have given him the background of knowledge and confidence he now relies upon for all his teaching commitments.
