English teacher. All levels and ages. Like teaching while learning.

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats.
Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Por las mañanas trabajo en una empresa de telemárketing en BCN en un ambiente multicultural donde el inglés es nuestra lengua vehicular y a partir de las 16h tengo disponibilidad.

Actualmente soy profesor de inglés en la Academia English Studio, en Cornellà de Llobregat en turno de tardes. Todos los niveles y edades. Barajo la posibilidad de dedicarme a la docencia también en horario de mañana, siempre y cuando la oferta para este horario fuera de mi interés. En el turno de tarde soy autónomo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano.

My name is Xavier.
I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am.

HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW CLASSES (Social, Humanities), English, Catalan, Philosophy, Literature, History... AND THAT. More than 20 years giving individual classes and small groups of English, Spanish and Catalan. Academies and online. My name is Javier. I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grew up in this town, but now I live a little far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I have taught Catalan, Spanish, and philosophy. , History and English for a long time... since I was 16 years old. What happened? Very summarized, I promise: two years ago I was walking down the street, right in front of this private school, and I thought: well, you could walk into this place and see. I really like the English language... and the United Kingdom,... but I don't have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom wall. It was a kind of blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, her efficiency. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks he was texting me for a class. "Please, Xavier, can you cover some classes?" So here I am. (That was two and a half years ago, at Academy English Studio where I have been an English teacher for more than two years, until March 13, when the lady in charge literally said that she would transfer my 59 students to another teacher because I didn't have Internet at home, since I had recently moved to another city and had not had time to set up the Internet, and no one could know about that horrible and destructive lockdown). More than 20 years teaching and learning with my students. Online classes. Spanish and Catalan teacher too.
Spanish teacher for foreigners from all over the world. I am also an English teacher, but this is in another ad ... (warning to English speakers: it is always better to have a common language as a vehicle for communication to face the challenge of a third language). Spanish, easy and fanny for you, for us! Learn from fun and enthusiasm
For those and those who wish to find a minority language within reach, having fun and enjoying its literature, its language, its history, already followed linguists, historians, philologists or simply curious, I am here to help - you. We will live on a mind-boggling trip!

Languages What a Passion. Language class: ITALIAN, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN. We learn by having fun!
ENGLISH Do you want to learn Spanish? Do you want to improve your English? Do you dream of learning Italian? Have French and Portuguese always intrigued you? Does the German seem an insurmountable obstacle? Then you're in the right place! I offer lessons in each of the aforementioned languages to anyone who wishes to learn them: face-to-face (Barcelona), or online. Classes will be customized to what you want: Do you want to enrich your vocabulary? Then we will focus on conversation and dialogue. Do you want to focus on grammar, spelling, tenses and verbs? Then the class will be more technical and based on a deeper knowledge of the dynamics of the language. In short, each lesson will be adapted to your needs and what are your goals and objectives in relation to what you want to learn of a particular language. So what are you waiting for? Italian, Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German await you! Thank you!

Lucy
German Teacher from Native German - Master Student from Germany
...I could speak in 4 different languages with my room mate. Do I have your attention? :) I always like to joke and say that life is too short to learn German, but honestly it depends on the teacher you have and how much you enjoy the lessons! I think that as long as you feel good and motivated and have a person sitting next to you who says positive words to you, you can manage to expand your expertise in a short time With me, you have a friend with whom you can have a coffee or go to the beach in your free time. I am very open and communicative and want our lessons to be more than just dry theory. I bring my personality to the lessons so that it remains interesting and vibrant for both of us! We can meet in a Cafe / Restaurant in Barcelona, I am also open to online meetings. If you are interested in learning Chinese I can also help you! :)

Miquel
Comprehensive English: Conversation, grammar and reading comprehension
Normally the foreign language is learned in an unnatural way by focusing on grammar and writing, when in reality we know that a language is learned first by speaking and then by reading and writing. Just as young children do, remembering and associating. Learning to use and enjoy a language is the basis for learning to read and write later. With this inversion of the order of the factors, the learning of grammatical rules and spelling is not forgotten, but rather they can be learned more easily as soon as they begin to acquire oral skills.

Claudia

About Me Born in London to French and American parents, I grew up between the three countries and now live in Barcelona. In addition to teaching, I also run my own business as a football agent. Lessons As a friendly tutor that will make lessons fun for you, I want to empower you to achieve your goals! I am able to match the needs of my students depending on their ability level and age. Ranging from five to seventy five, my students appreciate my individualised approach to their learning and my constant attention to their well being and detail. I try to make lessons fun so that you can be empowered to achieve your best results possible! Qualifications After completing a Political Science degree with a focus in International Relations and Spanish at UCLA, I finished, with merit, a postgraduate business degree (MBA) at the University of Liverpool. In addition, I am a certified high school mathematics teacher in the United States with experience teaching subjects such as Algebra I, Algebra II, and test preparation. I taught high school math for multiple years in East LA with the program Teach for America that places top university graduates in under served neighbourhoods. As I lived in the UK for many years and have taught many British students, I am also intimately familiar with the UK curriculum. Furthermore, I have tutored students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for many years. Lastly, I have a TEFL credential, which has allowed me to teach English to dozens of students.

English for children from 5 to 15 years old, I offer very dynamic classes. They can also be adults and teenagers
I am studying Early Childhood Education at the University and I love being in contact with children. I have experience as a private teacher with children from 5 to 15 years old. The classes I offer are dynamic so that children learn in a more fun way. During the first class I observe the student's level in order to adapt the sessions to their level, in addition to setting objectives to evaluate the child's progress.

Jed
Accent Training for Public Speaking, Presentation and/or Conversation for Students and Professionals. (Intermediate English required)
Hey there! I'm Jed, an experienced Interior Designer and overall creative professional. I have about 4 years of professional experience teaching students and training professionals when I was living in Thailand from 2017 to 2021. For this course, I use a proven program that focuses on the vocal aspect of speaking English. You will learn the phonetics of different letter combinations, discussed with detail what to do with your mouth, tongue and breathing to be able to speak more clearly. Why does this work? Our tongues are muscles! And for non-native English speakers, we need to understand and practice to make proper sounds to speak English more clearly. Please note, I will not teach grammar. The goal of this class is not to sound like a native speaking American or British, the goal is to speak English clearly with a neutral accent easily understandable by anybody. What makes this course helpful to you as a student or a professional? Confidence! Being able to converse, speak and present in your university or professional presentations. Previous students taught were native speakers of Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Arabic, Spanish and Italian. Additional info about me: I am born and raised in the Philippines, lived in the US for 2 years, studied in Canada for 4 years, lived and worked in Thailand for 4 years and living in Barcelona, Spain for 2 years now! I went to an English speaking school my whole life and I consider myself in a native or bilingual level of English. Why I do this: I am heart and soul a designer, but teaching is a very important part of my life, and I truly enjoy sharing experiences with people!

ENGLISH AND GERMAN CLASSES FOR WRITING AND SPEAKING - ALL AGES/ALL LEVELS
Growing up bilingual in German and English was as challenging as it was exciting and an experience that inspired my love for languages. Now I would love to share my knowledge on effortlessly mastering the ins and outs of these two infamous languages with you! The lessons are hands-on, easily understandable and true-to-life, so you can go and use what you've learned right away. Moreover, I like to customise the lessons to the topics and hobbies that interest you so that we can build progress on familiar sole, have you make better connections to the language and have an overall better learning experience. If it works with your schedule, I would also strongly recommend that we make homework a part of your class structure. I am confident we can use whatever foundation and experiences you have to help you meet your language goals - whether you just want to smooth out the kinks or start from the very beginning. You and I can figure this out together!
