My name is Brent Miller.  I am based in Cordoba, Spain and I&#8217;ve been teaching English for over 25 years to adults, children and teenagers of all levels.  I&#8217;m originally from Seattle (USA) and I did a post graduate studies in language education. I love teaching, especially the B1 and B2 levels, so that&#8217;s why I decided to write this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are studying at the B1 or B2 level, you have come to the right place.  In <strong>B1-B2 English<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll find posts about the Cambrdige Preliminary Exam, the First Certificate exam, grammar &amp; vocabulary, reading, writing and speaking tips, and hints for better studying.  I&#8217;ll also post free exercises and quizzes for you to practice on your own.  I plan to use it as a resource for my own students, and I hope you enjoy it, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! My name is Brent Miller.
