    About Me

    Hello Apprentus students,

    My name is Ian. I'm 43 years old, I've lived and worked in Ibiza for 16 years as a DJ, event production manager and consultant. I was born and educated in London, and spent 8 years at Dulwich College where, amongst other subjects, I studied French, Latin and Spanish. I then graduated from The University of Kent with a BSc in Social Psychology, after which I became a teacher. Throughout that time, I built a reputation as a DJ, which resulted in me becoming an event producer and consultant.

    My parents are Irish and I spent most of my school holidays in Ireland, but we also holidayed in Greece, France and the Balearics, which is why I feel at home in the Mediterranean. I have worked in many of Ibiza's language academies, teaching groups and individuals of all ages and competencies.

    I have a deep knowledge of grammar in English and Spanish, but if I were to have a teaching 'style', you could call it 'flexible.' My ethos is that language is based on confidence in personal expression. I believe that all of my students have the intelligence to know how they want to express themselves, my job is to help them figure out how they can get better at doing that in a new language, English.

    Education

    BSc in Social Psychology from The University of Kent at Canterbury (2003)
    PGCE in Primary Education with Physical Education from The University of Roehampton (2005)

    Experience / Qualifications

    2003 - 2006: Unqualified teacher/School Sports Coordinator at Charlton School Academy
    2008 - 2010: English Teacher at Instituto de Idiomas de Ibiza & Go Academy, Santa Gertrudis, Ibiza
    2010 - Present: Private English Tutor
    2018 - 2019: English Teacher at Britannia English Academy, Ibiza
    2022 - 2024: English Teacher at So English Academy, Ibiza
    DJs have become the new Rock Stars, ironically, because of digital DJ technology. The 'art' of DJing began by taking two vinyl records and mixing them together. Sounds easy, but before you can start you need two records to mix. As the vinyl format is coming back and young aspiring DJs are becoming more interested in having a collection of physical records, they face the same challenges every historic DJ faced. In this class, I will explain everything there is to know about vinyl DJing, from the shop counter to the platter... the shelf to the dance floor. Where to buy and how to buy the best; how to store and care for your collection; the layout of vinyl; navigating and playing a turntable; understanding the audio properties of phono; beat matching and equalisation; DJing technique and style. In this class I will pass on over 25 years of DJing experience, and possibly inspire you to become a record collector and DJ.

    Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

    In my teaching, I focus on a systematic and structured approach, helping students build a strong foundation of knowledge. The lesson programs are adapted to each student’s goals — whether it is preparing for exams, relocating to Finland, or developing professional skills for working in an international environment. I place special emphasis on developing speaking skills, understanding cultural nuances, and building confidence in using Finnish in real-life situations.
