I’m a qualified and experienced secondary teacher with over 15 years in British international schools across Spain. I specialise in GCSE Music, History, and Drama, and I also offer expert tuition in English as a Second Language (ESL) and ABRSM Music Theory.
With a PGCEi (Distinction) and a CELTA qualification, I’ve taught both academic subjects and English to a wide range of learners — from primary and secondary students to adults, in schools and language academies. My goal is always to build students’ confidence, deepen their subject understanding, and support success in formal assessments. I approach all my lessons with enthusiasm and dedication, and I´m personable and friendly, known for my excellent rapport with students.
I´m passionate about all of my subjects and I love to share this passion with my students, instilling a love of learning through encouraging interesting discussion, investigation and critical thinking while adding humour. My students have achieved the highest results in GCSE Music, Drama and History, as I teach clear and structured ways in which to answer exam questions, giving my students the utmost confidence in their exams.
In subject areas, I help students:
- Understand key content and terminology
- Strengthen analytical and writing skills
- Master coursework and exam technique
- Develop musical literacy and performance confidence
In ESL, I focus on:
- Speaking, listening, reading, and writing fluency
- Cambridge exam prep (PET, FCE, CAE)
- Pronunciation, grammar, and academic English
- Edexcel & Cambridge (IGCSE History, GCSE Drama, GCSE Music)
- ABRSM (Music Theory, up to Grade 6)
- Cambridge English (FCE, PET, CAE exam prep)
- 15+ years teaching in British international schools
- 10+ years of ESL teaching across Spain and Portugal (ages 9–adult)
