About Me
italki teacher since Mar 8, 2019InterestsFilms & TV SeriesFoodTravelArtBusiness & Finance
I’m a teacher from Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, with a clear, neutral British accent. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and also speak some French and Italian. I have 10 years’ experience teaching adults and companies worldwide, and over 30 years’ professional experience overall. My background includes set and costume design for TV, film and theatre, art and design, recruitment for London museums and galleries, plus event organisation and team-building. I’ve worked in the UK, Spain, Italy and Norway. I now live in Málaga, having moved to a mountain village to focus more on my lifelong passion: painting.
I´m experienced in the following areas:
1. The Art of Conversation
2. Business English and Leadership
3. Health and Safety for Vertical Transport
- Working Skills English- including recruitment language, interview preparation, presentations and public speaking
- Creatives - people working in art, design, cultural spaces, TV production and creative agencies
- Immigration
- Psychology
I like to prepare my lessons well, paying careful attention to the student's interests and goals. I am very patient and organised. I like to use games, images, plenty of speaking exercises and videos to make the lessons varied and fun. I like to concentrate on pronunciation and help you to feel more confident when speaking to other English speakers. I encourage my students to speak for at least 70% of the time in my lessons.My teaching material

I loved Ana's class! It was great! We discussed various topics and had a good laugh! And at the same time it wasn't just a nice conversation, Ana gave some valuable comments and remarks about my speech. So 30 minutes just flew and I was sorry that the class was over so fast. Looking forward to our next class!

I did a session with Ana to train for job interview exercises in English. It was really constructive, and she gave me lots of valuable insights.
Thanks, Ana! 🙏
