Conversation classes & Cambridge exam prep | 7+ years’ experience Hi, I’m Sam. I’ve been teaching English for over seven years, first in person in Spain and now online, one-to-one. I have a 160-hour TEFL certificate. My classes: Conversation classes for intermediate to advanced students who want to improve their vocabulary, accuracy and confidence when speaking, often for using English at work. Cambridge exam preparation for B1 Preliminary (PET), B2 First (FCE), C1 Advanced (CAE) and C2 Proficiency (CPE). I’ve helped many students pass. We start by going through each part of the exam together, so you know your level and roughly when you’ll be ready. How my lessons work: You get your own Google Doc, where I add your corrections, new vocabulary and homework after every lesson. Before each class I send you the material to review, so you come prepared. I note your mistakes. If the same ones keep coming up, I give you extra exercises to work on them. A bit about me: I grew up in London, studied engineering at Portsmouth, and I’ve lived in Spain for the last eight years, first in Málaga and now in Madrid. I’m naturally curious, so expect lots of questions about your job and where you live. Outside teaching I spend a lot of time training. I go to the gym, and lately I’ve been doing more running, cycling and swimming. I’m also a keen cook, and my current project is homemade pasta and pizza. I like films, travel, and reading about technology and economics, so if you work in any of those areas, we’ll have plenty to talk about.

Sam is a great teacher. He's patient and always well-prepared for class. He adapts the lessons to suit your needs and provides very useful resources. He also keeps a record of the things you learn in class, so you can review them later.

Yesterday I took my FCE exam after 30 classes with Samuel. I want to say a huge THANK YOU for going through all the topics, completing all the exercises and discussing all the topics in our classes. I definitely recommend Samuel to anyone who is looking for a teacher for any purpose! I look forward to continuing our classes after the break, teacher!

Today was my 20th lesson with Sam. I enjoy the conversations about various topics we go into. It helps me to explain myself better and improve my response time. The grammar lessons are more relaxed, so you do not feel like you are in school. Sam lets you speak most of the time, which is a good thing. I know it is hard to start to speak in front of a stranger in a foreign language. Especially when you are new to Italki. (Nobody wants to be looked down on and ridiculed.) But there is no need to be scared. Just try it.

Samuel really helped me prepare for my FCE exam. His lessons are well organised and easy to follow. He uses different useful materials and always explains things clearly. I really like his way of teaching and would definitely recommend him.

I really enjoy my lessons with Samuel! He's friendly, easy to talk to and our conversations always flow naturally. He corrects my pronunciation and vocabulary and prepare interesting topics every week, sharing videos, articles and usuful vocabulary in advance, so I can prepare before the lesson. I've noticed a real improvement in my English fluency, especially at work and when giving presentations. Highly recommended!
