Hi, I'm Anja from Ireland. I have been living and working in Spain since September and before that I studied my bachelor in Liberal Arts & Sciences in the Netherlands. When I'm not working on my classes I enjoy bouldering and going hiking. I really love being active so I will try to play any sport if I can (except football, I'm very bad at that). I'm also learning Spanish at the moment so I understand how difficult learning another language can be, I want to use my classes to make learning English as easy and comfortable a process as possible.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I would consider myself patient and easy-going. I don't want there to be any pressure in the classroom and it's very important to me that my students are comfortable and open to making mistakes. Mistakes are the best way to learn and I make them all the time, I want you to be fine with making them too.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach with a communicative method. As I said, production is very important so I will make sure you are talking as much as you can. I don't typically give homework, I'm more focused on teaching and then testing and reteaching. We will go through grammar and sentence structure and put it in to practice in the same class.

Anja is amazing! She stands out from the others teachers because she is patient, cheerful and she is able to make the lessons so enjoyable! In short, 10 out of 10. Can’t wait to have more lessons with her
