    Learn to speak Catalan through conversation with native speaker.

    Learn Catalan through conversation. If you want to improve your communication skills, I am here to help you.
    (Skype/Zoom available)

    I moved to the US a few years ago for professional reasons, it was very difficult to apply everything I had learned in traditional English schools to my everyday life. I quickly realized that the system that schools often use does not reflect the human learning process. As children, we first learn a few words and over time we develop language skills through mistakes and a fearless approach to the language. It is only later, at school, that our communication skills are refined. So why should we memorize the correct tenses and sentence constructions right from the start if we can not express ourselves yet? When we learn a new language, we often spend a lot of time constructing the perfect sentence in our head instead of speaking it.

    About Me

    Teaching Spanish through conversation has proven to be very rewarding in the past. Not only because I could see that what helped me could also help many others, but also because it was very rewarding to see people enjoy not being afraid to communicate, make mistakes, and develop their learning potential.

    Education

    I hold a Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree from UMass Dartmouth and have also pursued studies at IEFC in Barcelona. My time studying in Barcelona greatly enriched my knowledge and skills, as well as broadened my global perspective. The interdisciplinary education I received at UMass Dartmouth, coupled with various personal and professional development opportunities, has given me the confidence to take on complex challenges. Additionally, my exposure to different cultures has fostered a strong sense of inclusive collaboration with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have been an Arts and Spanish teacher for five years.
    Creating a positive learning environment is my priority, where students feel valued and motivated. Through various art forms, I encourage individuality and emphasize collaboration. My goal is to empower students to unlock their communication potential. Witnessing their growth brings me joy and fulfillment.

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.

    English - Grammar, Conversation and Cambridge Exam Prep
    My style of teaching focuses on conversations based on everyday situations. I think that conversation, whether with beginners or with more advanced levels, is a very effective way of facing grammatical and pronunciation challenges. Each class is personalised to the needs and interests of the students. Along with grammar and conversation classes, I prepare students for official Cambridge exams. These classes are focused on understanding the format of the exam, the requirements and tips for passing each section.

    learning english for beginners, learning how to speak or write formally
    English is a wonderful language. It is one of the most used language in the whole world. It is also not a hard language to learn - I will teach the basic vocabulary - Regularly used words in daily life - How to communicate with people - How to write or speak formally

    Pedro
    English -and Spanish for foreigners A1-B2 for teenagers, adults and seniors
    Learning English and Spanish is of vital importance for students, professionals and tourists. As a student of English and Spanish you must know, learn and master basic vocabulary at levels A1-A2 since it will depend on this whether you can understand and communicate in these languages. As a student of English and Spanish at levels B1-B2, you will need to know more complex vocabulary and expressions to effectively improve your speaking and writing skills on different academic and non-academic topics. At these levels the aim is for students to be more autonomous in their learning and to be able to communicate with more security and fluency. I have prepared this course as a practical guide in learning English and Spanish for students and professionals. You will learn vocabulary, expressions used in different communicative contexts, and develop and improve your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills naturally with the best language learning methodologies.

    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.
