I have extensive and varied experience in education. I have experience as a private Educator to adults, teaching them Spanish and English. I have worked for many international companies providing language services to executives and employees. I have worked for banks, laboratories, automotive companies, hospitals and private clients teaching Spanish or English and providing translation and interpretation services. I also have over 30 years of experience in teaching in primary and secondary schools in the UK as well as abroad. My teaching experience ranges from 4 to 70+ years of age.
I am a native Spanish speaker from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am a qualified Head of MFL with a master's degree in education and many years of experience teaching in the UK and Argentina. As Head of Department and co-ordinator of a Catholic primary and secondary school of 1,300 students in Argentina, I taught students ranging from 4 to 18 years of age. I also set and ran my own language service company in Buenos Aires successfully with clients as Ford Motor Co and VW; laboratories like Roche, hospitals and banks. My responsibilities varied from designing tailor-made courses according to the needs of our clients to the financial administration of the business.
I have been a resident and working in the UK for over twenty years. During this time, I have enhanced my previous qualifications by studying various postgraduate and skill-based qualifications, such as PGCE (in post-16 education and training), a master's in education and I have completed an Advanced Diploma in therapeutic counselling. I am an optimistic and passionate Educator who enjoys learning and making a difference by sharing and working with people of all ages. As a lead practitioner in schools, I have used a variety of techniques to engage with students and colleagues exploring opportunities for progression in teaching and learning.
