About José

Hello, I'm Jose.

I'm a native English speaker from the UK, a UK-qualified teacher (PGCE & QTS), and hold a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I currently teach at an IB World School and have nearly 20 years of international teaching experience helping students achieve academic success.

In addition to teaching, I am a former IELTS Speaking & Writing Examiner and an OxfordAQA Examiner. These roles have given me an in-depth understanding of what examiners look for and how students can maximize their marks through clear, well-structured, and academically sophisticated writing.

Over the course of my career, I have taught students following a wide range of international curricula, including IB MYP & DP, IGCSE, GCSE, A Level, AP, and university programs. I have worked with native and non-native English speakers from around the world, helping them develop the writing, critical thinking, and communication skills needed to succeed in education and beyond.

My teaching style is supportive, structured, and personalized. Every lesson is tailored to the individual student's goals, whether that's improving academic writing, preparing for examinations, completing an Extended Essay, strengthening English language skills, or gaining confidence as a writer.

To provide the best possible learning experience, I also incorporate modern educational technology, including Toddle AI, to create interactive resources, provide detailed feedback, and support learning between lessons.

If you're looking for a highly qualified, experienced teacher who understands exactly what examiners expect and can help you become a more confident, independent writer, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals.
