Teaching .. my true vocation in life. If someone were to ask me what is the best thing that I can do with my life, I would answer without any doubt "Teaching". I love teaching and learning at the same time, in fact, I usually say that I cannot remember a day in my life without studying or learning something new.

I consider myself reliable, methodical, punctual with friendly manners, and empathic.

Experience: Today I am teaching Spanish at Hinckley & Nuneaton College and at EleaHigh Online School. Additionally, I teach privately and I deliver Spanish courses to companies such as Jaguar and public institutions such as the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Ministry of Defense (MOD). I collaborated as a Spanish teacher with Sidney Stringer Academy (GCSE) when I was completing my Diploma in Education and Training at the University of Warwick. Additionally, I obtained my QTLs (Qualified Teacher Status) and became a professional membership of the Education and Training Foundation.

I have enjoyed teaching Spanish to people of all ages, the youngest being just 4 years old and the oldest being over 75. I teach all levels, from complete beginners, young learners, GCSE, A Level or degree level as well as adults wishing to learn a few phrases for holidays or business trips, or people who plan to live in Spain. Furthermore, I have also taught Spanish language to Erasmus Students in my country.

I have a large experience in several Public High Schools in Spain and in private education as well.

I taught in an Adult Education Public Centre where I prepared the access exam to University (Literacy, Maths and Science).

I make my lessons as interactive and enjoyable as possible using all kind of activities, flashcards, games, audios, music, art and stories. It is amazing how quickly children, teenager and adults pick up the language in a natural way, without stress. I try to teach not only a language but also the Spanish lifestyle, cuisine, customs and culture.

I have had experience working in both the public and private sectors of education and have taught students of different age groups which has enabled me to develop the skills and abilities required to be able to encourage and promote the students best potential. I am able to set priorities, identify problems and focus my attention and energy on resolving these issues. Most importantly, I like to find new and creative ways of teaching that motivate and encourage the students to learn in an enjoyable and challenging environment.

A good classroom session is never the result of improvisation or chance, so, I have made this my motto "90 percent of transpiration, 10 percent talent" for organizing, planning contents, goals, time, procedures paying special care and attention to diversity in the class, adapting myself to the real needs of the pupils. I completed also a level 3 course in understanding Autism.

Spanish language is a beautiful and useful language because of the growing populations and economies of many Spanish-speaking countries and their growing international tourism as well. I love my mother language and I would be delighted to help you. Face to face, with Skype ...everything is a good idea if you want to learn ... because, where there is a wish there is a way...

In addition, I have developed my own website in which you would be able to practise your Spanish.
