I'm an English teacher, originally from England but now living in Spain. I've been teaching for over 14 years now and I've had the opportunity to work in many different places around the world. My teaching philosophy is all about sparking interesting discussions with my students, and I particularly enjoy talking about topics like football, music, and culture. I'm also a huge fan of language itself, and I work as a translator in my spare time. But what I really love is cultural exchange. I believe that by discussing and exploring different cultures, we can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.Me as a Teacher
I have been delivering one on one sessions online for around 11 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 ainterests 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 14 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.

It's always a pleasure to have a lesson with Alan. He is very helpful, attentive to details, and ready to discuss various topics - from music and sports to current events and everyday life, which is really useful for speaking practice purposes. Highly recommend!

Alan is a very attentive, patient and cheerful teacher with a good sense of humor. He prepared his material well and provided valuable feedback. I really enjoyed his classes and wouldn't hesitate to book another one.

Was great learning from Alan again and I really liked the emergency Spanish lesson at the end to get out of "linguistic" trouble when speaking or in a Spanish speaking environment. Also had some really helpful tools to look over like apps etc. to help along the journey. Overall this has been a big help and will continue to work through the learning curve to become fluent in this language. Thanks again!

Alan is an incredible Spanish teacher!! As an English person myself, Alan is easily able to explain very difficult concepts while drawing comparisons to the English language to make things 100x easier to understand.
Amazing!!
