About Me

Hello, my name is Stephen, I am originally from London, but I now live in Spain on the beautiful island of Menorca.
I have over 5 years of teaching experience, and I have been a language learner for most of my life, so I understand the issues that you may be experiencing. I decided to become an English teacher because as a result of learning Spanish, I have been able to live and work abroad, and through teaching, I can give people the same opportunities that I have had.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy watching all sports, but especially football, I am a huge Arsenal fan. I look forward to meeting you soon and helping you to achieve your English learning goals!Me as a Teacher
I have taught in public schools and specialised language schools in Spain over the last 5 years, and I currently work as a freelance teacher delivering online lessons to students both locally and internationally.
I can offer you a wide variety of classes, for example: preparation for official exams (Cambridge, IELTS, TOEFL, Linguaskill, Aptis etc), business English, conversation classes, writing correction etc
I am very adaptable though, so if you have any specific requests for things you would like to focus on, let me know and I can prepare the appropriate material.
If you aren't sure what you would like to practice, in a trial lesson I can establish your level of English.My lessons & teaching style
Students learn better when they feel relaxed, so I try to create an environment that doesn't feel like a classroom, where there is no pressure and students are not afraid to make mistakes. I also believe that making someone laugh is an effective way to make them feel comfortable, so I try to use humour whenever I can.
I provide a lot of detailed feedback, identifying errors in grammar and pronunciation and providing the correct structures, which students often appreciate. I always listen carefully to what students say and take notes while they are speaking, which we then review either in the moment or at the end of the class.
Whatever you would like to achieve, I am here to help you.My teaching material
