Hi, I'm Nick, a native English teacher with 15 years full time teaching experience and have taught students from A1 to C2. I have taught over 500 students and have a 92% success rate in Cambridge English university exams. It is important to have a teacher with an idiomatic understanding of the language that only comes from a native speaker. Before I went into teaching, I had over 10 years experience in the business world, working for companies such as Campbell's Soup, Heineken, British Sugar and Merck Pharma. So combined with my business degree, my advanced TEFL certificate in teaching business English and my experience of working in multinational companies, I am confident that I can help you with any business English questions you may have. I have been living in Spain since 2007 and learning a language helps you to teach it. I have also written and published a successful Ebook. I teach all levels of English but specialise in B2, C1 and Business English. The most important thing when choosing a teacher is experience (I have over 10,000 hours) and I teach everything from conversation to exam preparation and business English from CV's to business presentation preparation and I specialise in job interview practice and preparation. Most importantly, the classes are interactive and dynamic, so after the free 20 minute lesson, I create individual classes for you because your progress and enjoyment is my job! I teach: - General conversation for personal use or in a work environment. - Speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. - Pronunciation and developing a neutral accent. - English for exams - Business English; CV's, interviews, business presentations, role-plays... Whatever your needs, I am sure I can help you. My job is to improve YOUR English whatever your needs. If you need more information please send me a message with your query or better still book a free 20 minute interview so we can talk about what your needs are. I look forward to seeing you soon.

It's my first time with Nicholas, and I have a good impression.
alejandro cobas piñeiro
Muy bien, enfocado a mi necesidad. Con casos de negocio donde haces algo de teoría, muy poco, y mucha práctica y tema para discusión y poder practicar conversación, que es lo que buscaba.
