Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 5. May 2024Thema von InteresseTechMusikUmwelt & NaturFinanzenFilme
Heya! My name's Cliff and I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia (U.S.).
In 2009 I moved to Almería, Spain to bring about some change in my life and I've happily lived here ever since then.
When I'm not working I spend time with my 2-year old daughter, go rock climbing, play in a few bands and do my best to keep fit through functional training and exercise!
**Regarding my availability: Currently italki does not seem to offer calendar synchronization which doesn't allow me to properly show my availability on italki, however, I offer lessons from 8am to 6pm Madrid (CET, UTC+1). If this suits your schedule, please send me a message and we can work out scheduling a slot for you!Ich als Lehrkraft
I started off as a language assistant in high schools in Almería where I learned different techniques about how to communicate with all kinds of folks learning English. Over the past 15 years I have had the pleasure of gaining experience at academies all over Almería as well as the Centro de Lenguas at the University of Almería.Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Overall my focus in teaching has been toward test preparation for Cambridge Exams (A2-C2), British Council Aptis, EOI (España), TOEFL, IELTS, SLP and many other exams students need to take. I also worked as an oral examiner for 6 years.
Beyond test preparation I am fond of conversation classes. I love hearing about my student's lives and helping them to improve their communication through topic based conversation. I'm an avid listener of the radio and podcasts and I find it important to stay up-to-date with the news and current events in the US, Europe and all over the world.
Moreover, I also work as an unofficial interpreter for British expats living in Spain.Mein Unterrichtsmaterial
