Mary Isabella Welch

I am a recent graduate from Loughborough University awarded a 2:1 BA (Hons) in English and Drama. I am looking for an English Language teaching/assistant role in Spain (located in Marbella / Mijas region), where I can put my excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, to good use. I am looking to find a job which I can start in September this year.

Working with small groups of children and assisting teachers in classes across the school. I produced class timetables, assisted year 3 children to understand place value, maths and literacy. I wrote homework assignments and guided students in using technology to support educational research in the ICT suite. 

- TEFL/TESOL Certificate - Qualified as an English Language Teacher to Speakers of other Languages (July 2023)
