My Story

I’m originally from Scotland but now live in the mountains in Spain. I’ve been helping adults improve their English since I was 23 and have travelled to many different parts of the world while doing it. I’ve worked in schools in Spain and Vietnam, taught Business English to workers in international companies and helped people from all corners of the globe over the internet.

In 2015 I graduated from Goldsmiths, University of London with a Music degree, before moving back to Scotland and becoming involved in politics as a campaign coordinator. When I was younger I also spent time working with the Scottish Youth Parliament, which gave me access to national politicians and experience dealing with the media.

In 2017, I travelled by train from Helsinki in Finland to Hanoi in Vietnam – through Russia, Mongolia and China – and wrote a book about the trip. In Vietnam I had the exciting and challenging experience of teaching in classrooms of 40 enthusiastic children.

Since moving to Spain in 2018, I’ve worked in language academies and online, giving classes to workers from a variety of big companies, including AXA, Alten, KPMG and Omron. I write a weekly newsletter about Spanish history and politics and maintain an active interest in international politics and economics.

My Approach

Conversation Confidence

The only way to learn a language is to use it. Many people tell me that even though they have spent years learning English in schools, they still don’t feel fluent or confident when speaking. My aim is to improve that by giving you the opportunity to use your English as much as possible to talk about a wide variety of topics, and correcting you and giving advice as we go. We will use real news articles and listening materials to help us – but we will spend most of the time speaking.

Dynamic English Classes

Our classes can focus on what you want them to. We don’t use a textbook or follow a course like in school. Most people I work with want to improve for their work or because they’re moving to a new country, but I have also helped many people prepare for job interviews and presentations, write important emails, proofread documents and prepare for exams. If you have something specific you want help with, contact me!

Lifelong Learning

Learning a language is a constant process of improvement which never ends! It’s not just about acquiring a skill, it’s about improving cognitive function, staying adaptable in a changing world, and finding personal fulfilment. In our classes I will give you the tools and strategies to make learning an engaging and rewarding part of your everyday life.

FAQs

How will we do the sessions?

We will use Google Meet. When you pay for a single session, you will reserve a time on my calendar using your e-mail address. If you buy a package of sessions, I will send you the link after you pay and you can use it to book multiple sessions. You don’t have to book all of them at the same time. When you reserve a time, you will then receive an email with the link to join the Google Meet call and it will appear as an event on your Google calendar. If you are in a country where it’s difficult to access Google, then we can use a different service such as Jitsi Meet.

What’s the cancellation policy?

You can change or cancel a session until 24 hours before it starts. After that, we will lose the session.

Can I prepare for a job interview with you?

Yes, I’ve been helping people prepare for job interviews for many years. In our session we will practice the common interview questions and strategies for answering them, as well as questions specific to the job you are applying for. I you send me the job advertisement I can use it to help ask the type of questions they will ask you in the interview. I can also help you write your CV (resumé) and cover letter.

What exams can you help me prepare for?

I can help you prepare for the IELTS exam, and also other Cambridge exams like PET, FCE, CAE and CPE.
