English is my native language and my specialty — conversation, pronunciation and accent reduction, IELTS / Cambridge / exam prep, business English (I taught it to hospital staff in Madrid), academic writing, and "I just need to stop freezing up when someone asks me a question in English." I teach all levels, from absolute beginner to near-native. Tell me where you are and we'll build a plan.

Every lesson follows the same arc: conversational warm-up to calibrate where your head is today → target concept introduced (in your native language if you're below intermediate, in English if above) → guided practice in the shared doc → free conversation applying what we just covered. Between lessons, homework tailored to what we actually did — not generic drills. Pronunciation help is always on offer; accent reduction is available as a focus if you want it.
