About

Rafael Hidalgo

I am an English teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching students of different levels and age groups in language schools, private lessons, and exam-preparation classes. I am also a clinical psychologist, professional drummer, and musician—experiences that have strengthened my ability to listen, connect with people, and understand different learning styles.

In my classes, the coursebook and curriculum are essential guides, but they are never the only source of learning. I make sure students complete the required material while using their interests, goals, and personal references to make each topic more relevant. Even challenging grammar becomes more approachable when it is explored through the subjects students genuinely care about—whether that means music, films, travel, work, culture, games, or everyday life.

My background in Psychology also helps me adapt to each student’s pace, identify areas of difficulty, and create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and experimenting with the language. I aim to turn uncertainty into curiosity and grammar into a practical tool for communication.
