About

and want it to be clear, precise, and reliable, especially when the pressure is on.

Most of my clients are highly capable. They think quickly, notice nuance, and hold themselves to a high standard. Their challenge isn’t intelligence or effort. It’s that their English doesn’t always keep pace with their thinking when confidence, speed, or stakes increase.

That’s the gap my work is designed to address.

My Background

I’m a CELTA-certified English teacher based in Madrid, with over 18 years of experience working with adult professionals across corporate, academic, and institutional settings.

Over time, my work has shifted away from traditional language instruction toward a more focused and tailored approach: helping people manage how they think, speak, and decide in English under real conditions.

Alongside my language training background, I’ve completed professional coaching training and am currently working toward certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This training informs how I work with confidence, hesitation, and self-monitoring, not as abstract “mindset issues,” but as practical, solvable communication challenges.

How I Work

My approach combines:

• precise language awareness
  
  

• coaching-based cognitive strategies
  
  

• real-world communication practice
  
  

I pay close attention to how people:

• process information while speaking
  
  

• respond to pressure, visibility, or uncertainty
  
  

• get caught in over-analysis or self-correction
  
  

Many of my clients think faster than they can comfortably speak. Others are highly precise and struggle when communication requires speed or flexibility. I help them stay present, composed, and clear, without flattening their thinking or forcing a persona that doesn’t fit.

We don’t aim for confidence as a feeling. We build confidence as a functional state: the ability to communicate effectively even when conditions aren’t ideal.

Professional Experience

I’ve worked with professionals at multinational companies, public institutions, and universities, including:

• Deutsche Bank
  
  

• Bank of Spain
  
  

• The Spanish Supreme Court
  
  

• National Securities Market Commission (CNMV)
  
  

• CSIC, Cores,Cisco, Air Liquide, Aerolíneas Argentinas, Mahou
  
  

Alongside coaching and teaching, I’ve worked extensively as a copy editor and academic editor, supporting researchers preparing manuscripts for peer review and publication. I collaborate with academics at institutions including the University of Málaga, University of Valencia, University of Alcalá de Henares, and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).

This work has sharpened my focus on clarity, structure, and precision, all skills that directly inform how I coach spoken and written communication.

Education & Professional Training

• Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Spanish Literature
  
  

• Master of Arts in Spanish and Portuguese Language and Literature
  
  

• CELTA Certification (English Language Teaching to Adults)
  
  

• Professional Coaching Training; currently completing International Coaching Federation (ICF) certification
  
  

• Advanced Language Study: Italian, French, Portuguese, Ancient Greek, and Latin
  
  

Learning multiple languages as an adult continues to shape how I understand cognitive load, precision, and the challenge of expressing complex ideas clearly.

What Clients Notice

Clients often describe working with me as:

• grounding and steady
  
  

• intellectually engaging
  
  

• practical rather than performative
  
  

• supportive without being indulgent
  
  

I don’t oversimplify.
I don’t rush the work.
I don’t impose a style or set of phrases.

I help you find your voice in English, so your communication feels accurate, natural, and genuinely yours. 

If you want your English to better reflect how you actually think and work, the next step is a conversation.
