About Me

italki teacher since May 18, 2020

My name is Alex, my mother tongue is English and I also speak fluent Spanish, as well as some French and Portuguese. I live in Spain with my family. In my free time I like hiking, travelling and painting. I have been teaching languages for over 20 years. My bachelor's degree is in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies and I am a fully qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher. I have also completed the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) course. I have experience of teaching all levels (beginners to advanced) and all age groups (infants to adults). I have also prepared students for Cambridge and IELTS official exams. My approach to teaching is flexible, I can adapt to the needs and objectives of the learner. The main focus is on conversation and lessons can be structured around vocabulary, grammar or current affairs topics. We can include games and songs to help with language retention and fluency. Of course, I am happy to set and mark homework if requested.
