Hi there, I’m Carlos
My friends describe me as bubbly and extroverted, and I enjoy travelling, good food, tennis, fashion, French pastries, swimming, music, cocktails, art, languages, ballet, and my favourite dessert is cherry cheesecake.
I’m a CELTA-certified English teacher with over 5 years of experience helping children and adults improve their fluency, confidence, and real-world speaking skills. I specialise in conversational and travel English, but also offer general English, fluency coaching, and exam prep (IELTS, Cambridge).
My teaching style is relaxed, engaging, and fully student-focused — I tailor every lesson to your interests and goals, with a strong emphasis on speaking. If you're looking to feel more confident using English in real life, I’d love to help!
Every student is different — so every lesson with me is different too. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all teaching. Instead, I design each lesson around your needs, your goals, and your interests — whether you love travel, culture, food, or everyday conversation. When you're talking about topics you care about, learning feels natural, fun, and effortless.
When you’re enjoying yourself, you learn faster. And when the lesson feels useful and interesting, you remember more — without even realising it.
Education
TEFL Certificate
June 2019 - July 2019
My TEFL certification gave me a strong foundation in teaching methodology and classroom management, both online and in person. I learned to make lessons dynamic, interactive, and practical — turning English into a skill students can actually use in their everyday lives.
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology
September 2019 - June 2022
With a background in psychology, I bring empathy, patience, and a deep understanding of how people learn best. I focus on creating a calm, comfortable atmosphere where students feel safe to make mistakes and express themselves — because confidence grows from feeling supported.
CELTA Certificate
November 2024 - February 2025
The CELTA is one of the most respected English teaching qualifications in the world. Through this training, I developed expert knowledge in lesson planning, grammar instruction, and student-centered learning. It taught me how to adapt lessons to every individual’s needs and help learners build confidence through real communication.
