About Me

I’m Max — 26, adventure-loving English teacher who’s lived and worked around Europe and Asia. When I’m not teaching you’ll find me surfing, hiking, skateboarding, or skiing — I bring that same energy to lessons. I’m relaxed, friendly, and curious: I love hearing your story and helping you use English confidently in the real world. I speak some Spanish (casual, low-key), but my real win is helping students sound natural, clear, and alive in conversation. Let’s make learning practical, fun, and a little adventurous.Me as a Teacher
I specialize in fluency and real-world speaking. I’ve taught kids, adults and travelers — and I lead teens on multi-country trips, so I’m great with groups, nerves and real-life language use. I focus on building confidence, natural phrasing, and quick-thinking responses. Expect tailored correction, friendly challenge, and clear goals. I’m patient but direct — you’ll speak more, stumble less, and gain steady, visible progress. Bonus: I keep lessons engaging with real topics (travel, work, interviews) you actually care about. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversation-focused and fully personalized. You’ll speak a lot, get real-time feedback, and learn the English people truly use. I balance structure with a relaxed vibe so you feel comfortable but challenged, and I’m happy to shift the style if you prefer more grammar, writing, or detailed correction. Whether you need fluency for work, interviews, travel, or everyday conversation, I build a clear path to your goals. Expect engaging topics, natural vocabulary, smart corrections, and steady, visible progress.My teaching material

Trip DirectorOver the summer, I lead groups of 30–50 teenagers across North America, Europe, and Asia, guiding them through some of the most breathtaking places in the world. My job is to open their eyes to new cultures, spark curiosity, and help them understand what life has to offer beyond their own horizons. It’s a mix of travel, mentorship, adventure, and real human connection — and it’s one of the most rewarding things I get to do each year.
