Speak English with confidenceat work
Bespoke one-to-one 55-minute classes on Google Meet with Justin, an English teacher based in Barcelona. From your first words all the way to C2 and professional English.
Hi, I'm Justin.
I'm a native English speaker from the United States, and I've been teaching English in Spain since 2015: at university, in language academies, online and one-to-one. Today I teach in Barcelona, where my students range from children and teenagers to adult professionals in fields like fintech and medicine. I have extensive experience with Cambridge exams, and I've worked as an examiner in Albacete for university English exams modelled on the Cambridge ones.
Every class is bespoke, built around you: your level, your goals and the situations where you actually need English. I also speak Spanish, which helps when you're just starting out. Through creativity and new technology, I adapt every class to the student, helping them make connections through a unique blend of storytelling and real-life practice.
I'm also an expert in job interview preparation. I've been offered every job I've interviewed for, and I've conducted interviews myself for companies I've worked for. My background in journalism helps here too. My journalism studies gave me a broad general knowledge and a real thirst for information, and although I've dedicated myself mainly to teaching since graduating in 2015, I still do occasional freelance work in that world. I did my internship in radio and I've worked in professional dubbing, so my English is clear and easy to understand. My passions are many, and my compassion runs deep. I'd be delighted to help you on your learning journey.
