💬 Would you like to improve your conversational skills? 🗣 I am a Trinity and Cambridge exams specialist 🗣

Please bare in mind that my availability varies according to the slots reserved by the students.

I started my career as an English language teacher in 2008 and soon became very passionate about language learning and teaching. This culminated in a Masters degree in second-language acquisition and a CELTA Certificate from Dundee College. I specialised in Trinity and Cambridge exams and also in conversational English for practical and everyday use.

After many years overseas, both teaching and examining English, I have returned to Spain and am available to share my extensive experience and expertise in all aspects of English. I currently work as an Aviation teacher in a school in Alicante where I have taught for some years.

My teaching approach is student-centred and communicative, where learning is a positive experience in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. All my students are encouraged to speak as much as possible to increase fluency. Professionalism, patience and a good sense of humour guaranteed!

All lesson materials are provided free of charge. I teach using a mixture of coursebook material , whiteboard presentations, listening activities, video clips and general speaking practice.

While my classes are 100% in English, I can also speak Spanish and some Italian words. This gives me a real insight as to why students make certain mistakes, and how to best avoid them. I really enjoy teaching and helping people improve and grow in confidence.

We all learn at different paces and in different ways. My job is to give you the tools to learn and enjoy the process. Are you ready?

Reviews (5)

Excellent teacher, friendly and chatty, well organised with good teaching material.
Maria is an excellent teacher who can adapt her teaching style according to her student. My daughter and I both had lessons with her and we both found the lessons both enjoyable and challenging. We both feel we made progress. My daughter has had several tutors over the years and thinks Maria is, for her, perfect. She makes the lessons fun while having a structure and aim for each lesson so progress is always made.
Great lesson!
Excellent teacher with a lot of experience. Flexible, interested.
Muy bien! Maria is an excellent teacher, very open and dedicated. Very professional.

Learn how to become fluent in English with Teacher Tenique.
I am a qualified ESL Teacher. In my class we focus on the four skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening. I am experienced in teaching IELTS, TOEIC, KET and PET. If you want to work on your Fluency, pronunciation, grammar or just have a general conversation we can do that. Let me tell you what else you can expect from our session. There are 3 things: 1. we are going to have fun! I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. I have studied Afrikaans so I know it can be very difficult to learn a new language but it's always important to have fun! 2. We are going to work on improving your skills. While we are in class, we can have a general discussion. I will give you feedback. I will help you correct your mistakes and please I don't want you to worry about making mistakes. Mistakes are good. When you make a mistake, you learn. Practice makes progress. This is how we improve. 3. Create a plan. Remember, getting to Fluency needs a plan. It is important to understand where you are going. Do you want to use English for work, travel or do you want to use it for school? What ever it is you want to learn English for, it is a good idea to have a plan. My classes are designed to meet your needs and reach your goals of learning English at a pace that you are comfortable with.
