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 and institutions such as Jaguar Land Rover, 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. Afterwards, 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, from children as young as 4 years old to adults over 75. I teach all levels, from complete beginners to GCSE and A Level students, as well as adults looking to learn a few phrases for holidays or business trips, or those planning to live in Spain.

I have a large experience in several Secondary Schools and Colleges in Spain where I used to teach Computer Science, ICT, and different programming languages for vocational studies courses. Also, 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, teenagers 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.

With over 24 years of experience in education, I have developed the skills and abilities necessary to encourage and promote each student`s potential. I can set priorities, identify problems, and focus my attention and energy on resolving these issues. Most importantly, I enjoy finding new and creative ways of teaching that motivate and encourage students to learn in an enjoyable and challenging environment.

A good classroom session is never the result of improvisation or chance. My motto is "90 percent perspiration, 10 percent talent," which guides my approach to organizing, planning content, producing resources, setting objectives, and managing time. I pay special attention to diversity in the classroom, adapting to the real needs of each student. Additionally, I have completed 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.
