Hello! I'm Ciaran, a native English speaker from London, currently living in Valencia, Spain.
As well as teaching, I enjoy vlogging, podcasting and making music. I also really love food, nature, travel and comedy.
I'm very interested in learning about other cultures and teaching English has been a fantastic opportunity for me to do that.
I have a dog named Luna, who sometimes sits in while I'm teaching!
Me as a Teacher
I really enjoy helping people to achieve their goals, and this pushes me to constantly improve as a teacher.
I think learning a language is something that can be really fun, and so I always strive to make sure my lessons are as enjoyable as possible whilst also being productive. Learning a language is not something that has to be stressful.
Over the years I've learned what works and what doesn't work, and I've learned many different ways to get the best out of my students. You already have the potential to be great at English, it's my job to help you unlock that potential!
My lessons & teaching style
In the first lesson I will try to get to know a bit about your interests and your learning preferences so that I can tailor the lessons to your needs and make sure that we're getting the most out of your time.

Very helpful! I really appreciate Carian’s teaching style. I can get immediate feedback during class. With his help, I got a satisfying score on the IELTS speaking test and gained more confident than ever. Highly recommended!👍
Exceptional Professor – Highly Recommended
Professor Ciaran is an outstanding educator who combines deep knowledge with an engaging and inclusive teaching style. He explains complex ideas clearly, encourages critical thinking, and makes every class meaningful. His feedback is thoughtful and constructive, and he genuinely cares about his students’ growth. Outside of class, he is approachable, supportive, and always willing to help. Thanks to his guidance, I developed stronger analytical and communication skills. His classes are well-organized, intellectually stimulating, and truly inspiring. I wholeheartedly recommend taking any course he teaches—you’ll learn a lot and enjoy the process.

A wonderful teacher! Ciaran gave me valuable guidance for the future during the trial lesson, pointed out what I need to work on, and was very polite. Thank you!
