I have around two years of teaching experience in several institutions.

I have around two years of teaching experience in the country. I have worked in a various educational organizations, from Spanish schools to universities and academies.  Each place had its own methodology and way of approaching language education, but key ideas have always been constant in my teaching practice: student-based learning, positive class dynamics and openness. The first one is paramount to ensure that the students needs are met, adapting materials and content to each individual. The second one relates to the first one, since a positive group can bring much more fun and positivity to the students, enhancing their learning experience. The third relates to the previous two since every teacher must adapt its ways to students and classes, such as disabilities, special needs, age, culture, among others. 

I am a graduate of English Studies from Malmo University in Sweden, where I have lived and worked for 5 years. I specialized in historical linguistics and language usage in media-related content, having strong skills when it comes to grammar and vocabulary as well as text production. However, my favorite part of teaching is the speaking part, since I enjoy helping people express their ideas and feelings in creative ways. I integrate this into other skills, encouraging communication and in-class participation. As I had an international education, as well as experiences, I transmit these into my work, attempting to break borders and build bridges using languages as a bridge between peoples.
