Danielle Macdonald

I am a university student currently studying Spanish, and I am living and working in Badajoz as an English language assistant in two primary schools. In this role, I teach English to children of different ages and abilities, helping them improve their speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary skills through interactive and engaging activities. Alongside my work in schools, I also provide private lessons for students preparing for the B1 English exam, supporting them with grammar, conversation practice, exam techniques, and confidence building.

I am a patient, enthusiastic, and adaptable tutor who understands that every student learns differently. I believe lessons should be tailored to each individual’s needs, goals, and learning style in order to help them make the best possible progress. I always aim to create a supportive and positive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions.

My teaching methods focus on communication, participation, and practical language use. With younger learners, I use games, interactive activities, visual materials, and conversation exercises to keep lessons enjoyable and engaging. For exam preparation students, I combine structured grammar practice with speaking and listening activities to improve fluency and confidence in real-life situations as well as exam settings.

I am passionate about languages and education, and I enjoy helping students develop both their English skills and their confidence in using the language.
