NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGE: IMPROVE YOUR FLUENCY!
Do you understand English but you struggle to express yourself well when speaking? It sounds like you need to work on your fluency!
Love football, music, or travel? Let’s learn through what excites you! Born in England, based in Spain, I’ve taught English for 16 years across the globe—but my passion is cultural exchange. Forget textbooks: let’s discuss British rock, Premier League drama, or Spanish travel phrases over conversations. As a translator/language nerd, I’ll help you grasp the nuances native speakers use, whether you’re chatting about politics or ordering *cervezas*. Book a class, and let’s make learning interesting!Me as a Teacher
I have been delivering one on one sessions online for around 13 years and I have learnt a lot of things from my students in that time. In particular, I am interested in offering students basic cultural knowledge and understanding, so that they may understand the references and tone of a conversation between native speakers. I also believe that in an increasingly integrated world, in which questions of politics, music, sport and culture happen on a global level, students should feel able to participate in those conversations. I am also keen on the art of error correction - when to correct and when not to correct. My lessons & teaching style
Do you want to learn about British rock n roll? Perhaps the Premier League is what interests you? Maybe you're interested in discussing Brexit? Don't you want to talk about something that ACTUALLY interests you - something you would discuss with friends and family in your first language? I believe that standard language textbooks are boring and the topics are uninteresting! Expect me to embed interesting cultural topics in our classes, followed by extensive feedback and targeted correction, skills I have developed over 16 years of training language students.My teaching material

Alan is an excellent teacher, his lessons had been very fun, I’ve enjoyed the playlists that he used to teach me about British culture. He has been so nice and he has helped me to clear all my doubts and missconceptions.
Is a 10 out of 10, I will continue with Alan lessons for a long time.

I had always gone to the academy to learn English, but after my experience with Alan in private lessons, I discovered that in three months I have progressed more than in all the years of school and the academy. I speak with confidence and it is not difficult for me to study. Thank you so much Alan for motivating me and doing that so funny classes while I learn. I still have a lot to improve but I still have the same desire with which I started. I am 46, and I recommend that whoever has doubts, try it. It is worth the investment.
