About Me
I am an English teacher and teacher coordinator in Spain. I have over ten years of teaching experience in English and Spanish, with children, teenagers and adults in different countries. I am also an official Cambridge English speaking examiner as well as Cambridge English team leader in the region of Murcia in Spain.
Apart from teaching, I have great interest in the world of coaching, conflict solving and emotional intelligence. In fact, I am certified as a life coach and NLP practitioner.
Over the years, I have developed international educational projects based on ICT along with other teachers across Europe, taken my students abroad and participated in a vast number of courses. I have also taught English to other teachers in my region, and enjoyed every minute of it!
Let me just list a few of the many positive advantages of learning a foreign language:
Being able to meet new people, it's great for travelling, you become smarter, it's essential in the workplace, it boots your creativity, your memory is improved, it builds up your self-confidence... Yes, these are just a some of the benefits of learning a foreign language. The cognitive and mental benefits of learning a foreign language are instantly apparent. But it also brings a host of social, cultural and personal benefits. It is best introduced at the earliest age possible. But learning it at a much later age is still very much worth it!
You will find me to be well-spoken, creative, energetic, empathetic, confident and friendly. Do not hesitate, and join my classes. We will talk about current issues and it will be fun!
