Hi, I'm Sophia - English Online Classes - Preparation for the FCE, CAE and TOEFL exams

Trayectoria académica y profesional

I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I graduated from Universitat de Barcelona with a BA in English Philology. I minored in foreign language learning in a Teachers’ Training Course by the same university. Then I travelled to the USA to work as a Spanish Language Assistant in a Midwest liberal arts college and to take some courses on Language and Literature.

I have always believed in the power of education. While still an undergrad I joined my hometown state’s primary school to teach 9-year-old students to communicate in English. It's there I discovered my passion for teaching. I found that learning is the foundation to succeeding in life and that is why working as a full-time teacher in a high school for the last 24 years has been so fulfilling and rewarding.

In 2016 I decided to create my independent project, EnglishWithSophia, dedicated to promote the learning of English through the content Geography, Art, and History, and to créate my own resources.

I would like to help everyone I can to succeed. In my high school, apart from the regular English lessons, I have developed tasks as a coach, and a new teachers’ mentor.

When I teach I strive to communicate my passion for learning to my students, as well as show them how fun education can be. I have tricks like acronyms and stories to aid students in remembering the things they are learning. I am able to tutor in Spanish from elementary up through advanced, as well as English from elementary up through B2 level. I also teach humanistic subjects such as basic geography, art and history. I'm proficient enough to teach French 1-2, and also teach reading, writing, and study skills. In addition, I am able to assist in standardized test prep for the Cambridge First Certificate Exam.
