About Madeline

I'm a native English speaker with a background in education and the arts. Alongside my English teaching, I work in facilitation and cultural programming, and that experience shapes how I teach — I bring a creative, hands-on approach to lessons rather than sticking to a fixed textbook format. I'm fully bilingual in Spanish, which lets me clearly explain concepts that are difficult to translate directly, and I teach English to students of all ages and levels — from complete beginners preparing for their first conversations to advanced speakers refining fluency for work or travel.

I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to every student I work with. Before we start, I take the time to understand what you're hoping to get out of lessons, whether that's building confidence to speak more freely, preparing for an exam, or getting ready for a trip. From there, I build lessons around your specific interests and goals, so every class feels relevant and worth your time.

I'm reliable, communicative, and take my students' progress seriously. You can expect lessons that are well-prepared, consistent, and focused on real results.

About the lesson

My teaching approach:

I focus on conversational English that students can actually use, not textbook drills. Every lesson is built around topics my students genuinely care about — music, movies, culture, journalism, business, literature, sports, travel, and more — so the language sticks because it's tied to something they're motivated to talk about.

A typical lesson opens with a few minutes of casual check-in, then moves into the main focus for that day — a grammar point, a skill the student wants to build, or a topic they've brought up. We often end with conversation practice, using whatever we worked on. The structure holds steady, but I pay attention to how things are going and adjust the pace as we go, spending more time where it's needed or picking up speed when a student is ready.

What sets me apart:

I tailor every class specifically to the student in front of me — their interests, their goals, and where they're starting from. Whatever you're into, I want to hear about it, no matter how specific or niche, because I'll do the research myself to learn about that topic and build a class around it. I work with students who want to advance in their careers, prepare for exams, get ready to travel, or simply build the confidence to hold a conversation in English. No two lesson plans look the same, because no two students need the same thing.

I'm a native English speaker, fully bilingual in Spanish, so I can explain tricky concepts in either language when needed. I work with all levels, from complete beginners to more advanced speakers looking to sound more natural in everyday conversation.
