About Calvin

I have over 7 years experience in teaching English from levels A1 (Complete begginers) to C1 (Advanced). I currently teach years 9-11 in secondary school, however, I have plenty of experience teaching from 5 years old to A level and Adults. My teaching background is primarily secondary schools and universities in the UK and Spain, but don't worry, I won't make you call me sir ;)

Want to know your current level and what classes with me will be like? Get in touch for a quick informal chat.

About the lesson

The most talented tea-maker you'll ever come across!

Classes include access to the digital book of your level. If you want to buy the physical book, that's fine too, but not necessary as all materials will be provided.

A typical lesson will involve me sharing something interesting with you that I "found" or simply "came across" during the week. As you read/listen/investigate you'll naturally question/struggle with certain language elements, but will overcome them from the context and sheer desire to continue and share your thoughts on the topic... that's when you realise the trap!... the carefully selected grammar in the article that you struggled with in previous classes that you thought had gone unnoticed... The fact that you were using it, or at least attempting to use it communicatively to share your opinion Mwahahaha.

Fear not, those devious traps are merely warming activities to get you thinking in English and to warm up the reading, listening and speaking muscles that we will need during the class. Like almost all teachers on superprof state, your lesson will be tailored to your tastes... and that is true for my classes too. I will certainly prepare activities that I know you will like based around what you want to learn. However, I won't be afraid to tell you what are your weaknesses in regards to the English language and work my hardest to improve upon them with you.

Fyi, I am somewhat of a phonology wizard and any students that have trouble forming particular sounds, should come have a chat. I have more than a few tricks up my sleeves.

Calvin prepared me for my Cambridge FCE and Advanced exams. He is a great teacher and person, I really enjoy his classes and he helped my bad pronunciation so much. He is very knowledgeable about the exams, I would not have passed without him.

Calvin is a great teacher. I took regular classes with him for a year because I was getting rusty after graduating from university. I liked them so much that I decided to study with him for my advanced certificate and passed :) I will miss our discussions about music Calvin!

I have taken group classes with teacher Calvin for the last 3 years and my English has improved so much because of them. His classes are interesting, he corrects me when necessary but helped me to get over my fear of making mistakes. Next year I will prepare for my First Certificate for entry to the University :) Thank you Calvin

Calvin is my favourite teacher ever :) We first met in 2016 when he prepared me for my PET and then he was my teacher again two years ago when I was studying for my First Certificate.

Mr Davies always prepared fun classes and I really enjoyed learning with him. I stress very easily and he always made very big, complicated things seem much smaller and simpler. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Calvin :)
