About José

Hello! I'm Jose, a native English speaker from the UK, a UK-qualified teacher (PGCE & QTS), and hold a Master's degree in TESOL. I have nearly 20 years of international teaching experience and currently teach at an IB World School.

I have taught children from many different countries and understand that every child learns differently. My goal is to create lessons that are engaging, supportive, and enjoyable, helping children build confidence while developing excellent English skills.

I specialize in teaching English through classic children's literature. I believe stories are one of the most effective ways for children to learn a language naturally. By reading timeless books together, students expand their vocabulary, improve grammar and pronunciation, strengthen reading comprehension, and become more confident speaking and writing in English—all while discovering a lifelong love of reading.

Every lesson is carefully tailored to your child's age, interests, and English level. I provide all books and learning materials, so there's nothing extra for parents to buy, and I use modern educational technology, including Toddle AI, to create engaging activities and personalized feedback.

If you're looking for a highly qualified, experienced teacher who can inspire your child to enjoy reading while developing strong English skills, I'd be delighted to help them achieve their full potential.

Help your child develop excellent English through the timeless magic of classic children's literature.

As a native English speaker, UK-qualified teacher (PGCE & QTS), holder of a Master's degree in TESOL, and teacher at an IB World School, I bring nearly 20 years of international teaching experience to every lesson.

Rather than relying on worksheets and memorization, I teach English through carefully selected classic children's books. Stories provide a natural and enjoyable way for children to develop reading, speaking, listening, writing, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, comprehension, fluency, and critical thinking while building a genuine love of reading.

Lessons are personalized for your child's age, interests, and English level and are suitable for ESL/EFL learners, bilingual children, homeschool students, international school students, and young readers who want to strengthen their English.

Lessons may include:
Guided reading
Reading comprehension
Vocabulary development
Grammar in context
Speaking and conversation
Listening skills
Pronunciation
Creative writing
Storytelling
Reading fluency
Critical thinking
Character, setting and theme analysis
Homework support
English enrichment

Children may read wonderful classics by authors such as Beatrix Potter, A. A. Milne, E. B. White, C. S. Lewis, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Lewis Carroll, Kenneth Grahame, and Roald Dahl, with every lesson designed to make learning English enjoyable, engaging, and meaningful.

I also incorporate modern educational technology, including Toddle AI, to create interactive activities, provide personalized feedback, and support learning between lessons.

All books and learning materials are provided free of charge, including carefully selected digital copies of classic stories, vocabulary activities, comprehension exercises, and additional learning resources, so your child has everything they need to succeed.

Supportive, engaging and child-centered approach

My aim is to help children become confident English speakers and enthusiastic readers by combining high-quality teaching with some of the greatest children's stories ever written.

This approach also provides an excellent foundation for children who plan to attend IB World Schools, top international schools, or other academically rigorous programs. By developing advanced literacy, communication, and analytical thinking skills from an early age, students are better prepared for the subsequent demands of IB MYP, IGCSE, GCSE, A Levels, AP, and other challenging curricula as they progress through their education.
