Because I have learnt Spanish to a high level and as an English teacher I already know the difficulties you are experiencing and I can explain to you simply, taking away any confusion that you may have. My methods as a language teacher get sustained results and together we will learn the beauty of confident communication in a foreign language. Send me a message and let's get started.

My name is Simon, I am originally from London and I have spent 25 years living in Spain teaching English. This means that I have the best tools for helping Spanish speakers achieve the level of English that they have always dreamt of. I freely admit that learning Spanish was very difficult, however it has given me the patience and the understanding necessary to help you as quickly as possible. I am more than an English language teacher, I am a coach and I will guide you to success in English. ...

My name is Simon, I am originally from London and I have spent 25 years living in Spain teaching English. This means that I have the best tools for helping Spanish speakers achieve the level of English that they have always dreamt of. I freely admit that learning Spanish was very difficult, however it has given me the patience and the understanding necessary to help you as quickly as possible. I am more than an English language teacher, I am a coach and I will guide you to success in English. Many people comment on my clear and neutral pronunciation and accent which I will pass to you. You will learn and improve through conversations about work, family, friends. You will become skilled in talking about emotions, thoughts, serendipity, experiences good and bad, complaints and stories so that you can speak confidently about anything. With more than 25,000 hours of classroom experience behind me I create a safe space online or in presencial classes where students can make as many mistakes as necessary to speed up the learning process and achieve the Holy Grail of English… To speak with confidence. I have already helped hundreds of students prepare for and pass all major English exams as well as in-company level tests, immigration exams, entrance exams, public sector exams and job interviews. “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats everyday” Lao Tsu Extra information: I perform and write stand up comedy I am a musician I like creating I am interested in: Neuroscience / Psychology Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Fitness Personal Development Meditation Wisdom

Ecpecional, sumamente claro e ilustrativo. Con el entenderás las cosas más complicadas de una manera sencilla y clara. Esta por encima de la media de profesores sin miedo a equivocarme.
Betiana Martínez
La experiencia con Simon ha sido muy positiva. Me encanta su versatilidad. realmente puedes tener una clase a medida porque Simon se adapta a tus pedidos sin descuidar tus necesidades. Es muy buen profesor!
MARIA JESUS LOPEZ
Identifica bastante rápido los fallos y las soluciones para su corrección. Muy recomendable.
Stanislav Vakaruk
Simon es muy bueno, no solo enseña inglés de manera práctica, sino que resuelve numerosos fallos localizando la raíz común de los problemas. En pocas clases ya he observado muchos de mis errores más típicos y he aprendido a evitarlos (sin necesidad de estar memorizando reglas gramaticales).
Ana
Es un profesor fabuloso, se me pasa la hora volando. Me gusta mucho su técnica de enseñar. Es mi tercera clase y me voy sintiendo más segura. Cuando disfrutas de lo que estás aprendiendo , el conocimiento llega antes. Lo recomiendo 100%
Ingrid

Solo llevamos dos clases pero me está dando la confianza que necesitaba
Marta
Simon es un profesor EXCEPCIONAL. Hace una radiografía del alumno perfecta y sabe qué es lo que necesitas y donde atacar de lleno para mejorar el inglés. Además conoce perfectamente la gramática española y por eso sabe muy bien cómo tiene que enseñar para hacer mejorar a los alumnos y corregir los "typical spanish mistakes" En mi caso estoy muy contenta, tengo un nivel de inglés que considero medio/alto pero estaba estancada y cometiendo siempre los mismo errores sin avanzar. Gracias a Simon estoy puliendo poco a poco muchos de esos errores que cometía. Me hace pensar cuando hablo y eso es muy bueno porque estaba acostumbrada a hablar sin pensar muchas veces y así es como cometes los errores, pero con sus técnicas y sus consejos estoy segura que voy a conseguir mi meta. Highly recomended!!
Daniel Gallego Sánchez
Apenas llevamos dos clases, pero suficiente para saber que es un gran profesor. Yo también he sido profesor de idiomas y sabía qué necesitaba. Simon es dinámico, comprometido y corrige cuando debe hacerlo. Totalmente recomendado.
Gustavo Gomez
