Sobre mi

I have experience teaching all age groups, test preparation and business English. Before coming to Spain I worked as an Outward Bound Instructor and a teacher of children with learning disabilities. Besides teaching I also work as a freelance photographer and videographer. My hobbies include cycling, running, working on DIY projects and traveling.

Metodología

In my classes we start with a theme and explore it through some sort of authentic theme based materials such as newspaper articles, videos and listenings. Then we develop that theme through productive activities like role plays, debates, and conversations. Grammar and vocabulary are taught and reinforced throughout the lesson. ESL books may be used for lower level groups, test preparation and as reinforcement for the theme based lessons.
