About Me

I am currently studying the Master in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language at UNIR. Without a doubt, I feel very fortunate to have found what I am passionate about and to make it my job.

I have always had an interest in teaching Spanish. However, this feeling was accentuated when I had the opportunity to study in Beijing thanks to the international mobility plan of the University of Seville. This experience gave me the possibility of having contact with a culture totally different from the Spanish one, which allowed me to have a more open mind towards a world today globalized. In addition, I graduated from the Degree in East Asian Studies, so I would like to combine my previous academic knowledge with everything that I am learning in the master.

If there is something that characterizes me, it is that I am 100% involved in everything I do. I am hardworking and creative. I like to constantly learn about what I do not know and I put all my energy into working on what excites me.

Education

I finished my University Degree in East Asian Studies from the University of Seville and I am currently studying the Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from UNIR.

Experience / Qualifications

I did my Master's internship at the Malaca Instituto (Malaga, Spain) and I had the experience of teaching Spanish at various levels.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
