About

Companies that I have worked with in Cantabria: • Viesgo • Valdecilla Hospital • Cisternas Cobo • Incentro IT consultants • Hello everyone! I'm Jamie. I am a fully certified, native-speaking, TEFL teacher, with three years of teaching experience in Spain and South East Asia. I have helped many students improve their English and prepare for their Cambridge exams over the last 3 years. I have taught English to Spanish, Cambodian, Vietnamese and Chinese students of all ages and levels, from toddlers and school children to top professionals such as doctors at Valdecilla Hospital in Santander and Electrical Engineers at Viesgo's headquarters in Adarzo, Cantabria. I am constantly aware of the importance of my professional image and I dress smartly during all my lessons. I speak with a clear neutral British accent and my voice is very easy to understand. I also speak basic Spanish and I’m progressing with the language every day. I currently teach students of all ages in Santander and I travel to different companies around the city. When I first arrived in Cantabria, I taught primary school children at Kids and Us English Academy, in the Sardinero area of Santander. I also had a role as an English Language Assistant at Castro Verde Primary School, in Santander and taught English online. I am a fully qualified, Electrical Installation Engineer with over 14 years of experience in the UK. I have had the opportunity to mentor many young apprentices and trainees throughout my engineering career. I have built up a vast knowledge of English grammar structures, as well as concise explanations and engaging methods to teach them. You will laugh!😊 I am determined to be as well-informed as possible, to provide my students with a high-quality learning experience. I have lots of hands-on teaching experience and I use a light-hearted and relaxed teaching style, which I find brings out the best results in my students. My classes are based on controlled conversation, focusing on different grammar points and vocabulary that you can use immediately in your everyday life. Throughout my teaching career, I have gained valuable class management skills and have found the best techniques to help my students stay focused and engaged during my lessons. •My classes are so fun and engaging that you might forget that you are learning.😊👍 •We provide tailor-made in-company lessons. •Private one-to-one lessons at home or in the office. •Online lessons via Skype, Zoom or WhatsApp. English is progress - Elephant English Check out Elephant English on Google!
