Qualified TEFL Teacher with a Post Graduate Diploma in Education + 10 years of teaching experience. I have been a teacher now for 10 years. I started my teaching journey in Madrid, Spain where I did an intensive TEFL course at the most reputable TEFL school in Spain. I worked as an English teacher in Madrid for 2 and a half years where I taught adults and children. I then moved back to the UK to complete a PGDE and become a secondary school teacher in a subject which was closer to my degree qualification. I graduated from that in 2014 and spent 7 fun years teaching Design & Technology (DT) at secondary schools in Glasgow and then London where I met my now fiancée and mother of my daughter to be who lives in LA. I am currently living in Baja to be closer to them while I wait for my US Visa. In Madrid I taught English to students of all ages and all needs. I mainly taught adults in a business English setting which I very much enjoyed and had a very good relationship with all of my students. I actually taught a group of Public Prosecutors and one of them came to Glasgow to visit me after I left Madrid. I also taught in a state school in Madrid to children aged 7-16 in a classroom setting, again it was a very enjoyable experience and I was a very popular figure around the school.

Jacob is an excellent teacher! We discussed a complex topic across two classes using material from two different articles, and we engaged in an interesting exploration of said topic. Always good to exercise talking about new and different subjects that you don't usually get to talk about!

I really liked the lesson with Jacob, normally we have pleasant and funny lessons. I started with him to practice my grammar and speaking because I had been some time without practice. I decided to improve my English because I wanted to apply to international companies and I need English for the interview processes. I am very happy with the result, I´ve passed the first interviews in different companies like Facebook, Spotify and now I am in the final rounds!! My plan is to continue taking lessons with Jacob, to try to improve more and get a new job.
