Heya! I'm Cliff, originally from Atlanta, Georgia. In 2009 I moved to Almería, Spain for a fresh start — and I've happily called it home ever since.
Outside of teaching, I spend time with my young daughter, go rock climbing, play in a few bands, and stay fit through functional training.
Availability: I offer lessons from 8am–6pm Madrid time (CET/UTC+1). Since italki doesn't currently sync with external calendars, just send me a message and we'll find a slot that works for you!
I began my teaching career as a language assistant in Almería high schools, which gave me a solid foundation for working with all kinds of English learners. Over the past 15+ years I've taught at academies throughout Almería and at the Centro de Lenguas at the University of Almería.
My core focus is exam preparation: Cambridge Exams (A2–C2), British Council Aptis, EOI (Spain), TOEFL, IELTS, and SLP, among others. I also spent 6 years as an oral examiner, so I know exactly what assessors are looking for.
Beyond exams, I genuinely love conversation classes — hearing about my students' lives, discussing current events, and building real communicative confidence. I'm an avid podcast and radio listener, so I always come with fresh topics!
I also work informally as an interpreter for British expats here in Spain.Meu material de ensino
