    English lessons from a creative native speaker based in the center of Barcelona

    In my lessons, I spare no effort in trying to encourage a sense of personal meaning and value in the material used to help each student achieve more clarity and confidence in the language. I feel confidence is key in overcoming any kind of fear, so I make sure that students get through this, step by step, with practice and communication both inside and outside the classroom. I’m very laid back, but I’m also a perfectionist in the sense that I don’t like to do things ‘half way’; I would rather complete a small task and build things up step by step to produce quality results, rather than do a large and overwhelming task which will only give poor results.

    The way I tailor each lesson according to the specific student's needs is by beginning to establish the level in which they are at, and then ask them what it is they want to achieve: whether they want me to help them polish up their level of communication at work, within social environments, or even prepare for a specific exam or a performance. Once this is clear, I prepare the lessons in a way that I find is suitable for their objectives, always paying close attention to their performance in order to keep shaping each class in a way that a steady sense of progress is achieved. The classes will always be interactive because I believe this is the best way to ensure continuous interest, and therefore motivation, and that it will help me understand which areas are most difficult for each student so that I can keep shaping the lessons in their favour.

    About Me

    Hi! My name is Nadine. I've always been very passionate about arts and culture. I am a very creative, energetic and enthusiastic person. The most important thing in anything I do is making sure there is a genuine connection - whether it be with the people I’m working with, or the subject matter I’m dealing with. I have had a very international upbringing, so I can genuinely relate to people from all kinds of backgrounds. Moving around so much as a kid, as well as my more independent travelling in recent years, has taught me that each person is different and has something special that can be built on. Therefore, I always treat each student as an individual and try to understand them by discussing their particular goals. At the end of the day, whatever the student’s goals are will be my goals too.

    I spare no effort in trying to encourage a sense of personal meaning and value in the material used to help them achieve more clarity and confidence in the language. I feel confidence is key in overcoming any kind of fear, so I make sure that students get through this, step by step, with practice and communication both inside and outside the classroom.

    Education

    I have a degree in Modern Languages and Literatures (Universidad de Barcelona). My main focus was English and Spanish literature. Graduated with an outstanding final grade.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have +5 years of teaching experience in language (English, Spanish, German), as well as after school tutoring for different kinds of subjects (mainly GCSE & A-Level students).

    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.

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. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home.

    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! :)

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Pierre
    History, Political Science, Essay writing, Test Prep Tutoring
    Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on the understanding and ways of learning of each student. Rather than imposing a specific method on the student I try and understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the areas needed. I specialize in tutoring History and Political Science for school (iGCSE, A-LEVEL, IB) and university (Bachelors). I teach both content and form (essay writing and exam prep skills).

    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.

    Elena
    English Tutor for a fun informal conversational class
    The best way to learn English is by speaking it! I am taking adult students and kids of age 16 plus. If you are looking to improve you language skills and break that language barrier, all in an informal and chill setting - you are in the right place! Each class we will focus on different topics and have a discussion around those. Depending on your level, we can talk about personal hobbies, debate topics, economics, art, travelling, or we can even venture out to some philosophical debates! Through engaging in these conversations you will build vocabulary and receive helpful feedback. A little bit about myself: I am now 27, but have moved to London when I was 15, finished school there and now hold a bachelors degree from LSE in Actuarial Science. I enjoy learning new languages myself and love teaching others! Looking forward to meeting you! :)

    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!
