Adrian

Hello there!

Thanks for dropping in. I’m Adrian, and I grew up among the green gently rolling hills near Cambridge, surrounded by little villages with sheep and cows… my home town is actually called Saffron Walden. I’m number 4 out of 5 brothers – but sadly have no sisters. My Mum and Dad are my heroes, and probably the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. I studied sciences at university, so it’s strange I am now an English teacher – I started teaching to be able to travel – working along the way.

After coming to Málaga in 1990, I fell in love with the Malagueño way of life and finally met a beautiful Spanish lady from Fuente Olletas and settled down. We now have 2 fabulous (usually) children and spend most of our time doing family things, which is great!

I used to do every sport imagineable, but the classic dodgey knee syndrome means that I now stick to the gym, Tai Chi, making cakes and lemon curd, and laping up DVDs and books at every chance I get (which isn’t as often as one would like!).

A few favourites?… colour: blue…. music: pop … food: porras… day:Thursday… football team: Málaga… season: Spring… festivity:Christmas

Well, thanks again for popping in, and hope to see you soon!

Katy

My name is Katy and I am from a twee English village 20 miles north of London.  Before I was 5 I lived in Iraq & Shetland (polar opposites weather wise!) and since then my itchy feet have clocked up a fair number of cities. Best city I’ve visited? Sydney.

I love food – cooking and going out to dinner. Oh and wine….one of many reasons I ended up in Malaga! And one thing no home should be without…..Marmite.

Jack

Hey guys! I’m Jack.

I’m originally from London. It’s a great city, with hundreds of things to do and see. But it wasn´t for me, so here I am back in Spain. I say back in Spain because I grew up in Vera, Almeria and also means I’m totally bilingual! I also spent a year enjoying Madrid and another year in Granada, which I absolutely loved. This is my first year in Malaga and I’m seriously excited to explore and experience the Malagueño lifestyle.

As for my hobbies, I love doing sports.  In fact, any sports really but especially football and padel. I once played for a premier league team when I was 7 (my claim to fame!) but that stopped shortly afterwards as I moved here to Spain. I also love music and dancing – you can´t beat a good boogy on a weekend.

Teaching English and having fun are my passion so why not do both?

I’m delighted to be at the New English Centre and I’m looking forward to meeting you in the near future.

Cheers guys!

Sam

Hey guys! My name is Ehsan, but like the rest of the Malagueños and my family, you can call me Sam. I’m originally from Iran, but when I was around 2, me and my family moved to the UK and started a life there. My Dad is English , from a green and beautiful village in Wales and my mother is from Tehran, and has spent nealy all of her life in Wales too. That´s how they met.

I had a wild and cheerful childhood. I grew up on a farm, surrounded by different animals from cows to horses . When I was 14, we moved to Andalucía.

I finished my studies here in Málaga, but I felt that it was the moment for a change in my life, so I packed my stuff and moved to Zaragoza, where I lived and worked as an English teacher for 9 years! I made many dear friends and had a wonderful experience, which made me a better person and professional.

I have begun a new adventure here at the New English Centre Academy. I’m very excited about it as this place enables me to find new and creative ways to teach English.

See you soon in class I hope!

Lewis

Hello! My name is Lewis and I’m from Merseyside (better known as the city of Liverpool),England. Interesting fact: when I was 12 , My family and I emigrated to Australia  but sadly we had to return.

I moved to the city of Leeds when I was 19. I ended up living in Leeds for almost six years and also studied my Degree in Popular music at Leeds College of music. (Instrument: Guitar and Electric Guitar)

During my time in Leeds,  I taught Guitar lessons and developed a joy for languages, I regularly taught English to my international peers, and started my journey of learning Spanish.

Fast forward to 2020 and I have moved to the amazing city of Málaga! I love living here and taking advantage of the sun almost everyday! I spend my free time doing calisthenics outdoors and playing the guitar. I have been teaching English at Crown English since January 2021 and I am thoroughly enjoying it! See you soon!

Tamara

Hello, my name is Tamara and I’m from England. My nearest big city is Leeds, but I grew up in the beautiful countryside of North Yorkshire.

For the past two years I have been living in Lorca, Murcia, but I was ready for a new adventure which led me to move to Malaga. 

In my free time I love to travel and I’m lucky enough to have a bunch of international friends throughout Spain and all over the world that I can explore with. Two of the best places I have visited would be Iceland and Madagascar (extremely different, I know!). 

I also love cooking, more specifically baking, and cake is my absolute favourite food in the world.

Dancing was always a passion of mine during my childhood and I continued to take classes and learn new styles of dance when I moved to Spain, however during the pandemic classes were cancelled so I took up running. Slowly I grew from loathing to loving this and I have even added participating in a half marathon to my bucket list.

I have been at Crown English since October and I’m loving being part of the team there. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Bye for now!

Melissa

Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Melissa.

I´m from Montana in the USA but I´ve lived in Spain since 2004. After living by the Cantabrian Sea for about seventeen and a half years in Asturias, I decided to make the beautiful city of Málaga my new home in April, 2021. I think Spain is such a diverse and culturally-rich country so I am excited to learn more about the South.

I consider myself a life-long learner and a bit of a language nerd. I try to pick up a few new phrases a day in Italian, Chinese or Portuguese on Duolingo. I studied linguistics at university and can really bore my friends with fun facts about language.

As for my hobbies, I like yoga, visiting historical places, the wine culture in Spain, and watching personal development videos on You Tube. 

I am delighted to be a part of the team at Crown English and I look forward to seeing you in class!
