Hello! I’m a native English speaker based in Barcelona, originally from the UK and Canada. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Italian from University College London (UCL) and a Level 5 TEFL Certificate. I specialize in private English conversation lessons for both children and adults.

As a mother of two and someone familiar with homeschooling, I bring patience, creativity, and a warm, adaptable teaching style that works especially well with young learners. I’m also comfortable working with complete beginners or students looking to build confidence in speaking.

Whether you're looking to improve your everyday English, prepare for travel or relocation, or simply gain confidence in conversation, I offer friendly, tailored sessions to help you meet your goals — at your pace.

What I Offer:

English conversation lessons – Improve fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation through real-world topics.

Confidence-building for kids – Fun, interactive sessions designed to help children feel comfortable speaking in English.

Support for homeschoolers – Flexible, structured lessons that complement home education.

Adult learners welcome – Whether you're learning for work, life, or travel, we’ll build practical English together.

Local language awareness – I speak Catalan, which helps especially with younger learners or beginners who may feel nervous starting out in English.

My Teaching Style:

My lessons are:

Student-focused – I adapt to your needs, interests, and learning speed.

Conversation-driven – I believe the best way to learn is by speaking, so we’ll talk about things that matter to you.

Relaxed but structured – Whether you're learning casually or want something more formal, I’ll design lessons that suit your personality and goals.

Friendly and encouraging – I aim to make every student feel supported and confident, especially if they’re shy or just starting out.

In-Person:

I’m available for:

In-person lessons in Barcelona (with a small travel supplement depending on your location).

I’m passionate about language learning and helping others discover the joy and confidence that comes with being able to communicate in a new language. If you're looking for a patient, experienced tutor with a personal, human approach — I’d love to work with you! Read less
