Hello Everyone! 皆さん、こんにちは!
I am a Spaniard living in Norwich, UK. I have just graduated in Translation, Media and Modern Language with Spanish and Japanese. I have been living in UK for 10 years and I had the opportunity to spend my year abroad in Okayama, Japan, so I also understand and speak a bit of Japanese!
While I was at university I had the opportunity to be part of the language and Communication society, where I organised events for international students and I helped them with their English skills through proofreading their academic essays as well as through one-to-one speaking lessons. I realised how much I enjoyed teaching and before my year in Japan, I was able to get the CELTA certificate (Cambridge Certificate to Teach English to Adults). Thanks to this certificate, I was not only able to teach English to adults if not that I applied the knowledge acquired with this certificate into teaching Spanish as well.
During my time in Japan, I gained experience into private tutoring with adults and group tutoring with kids between 12 and 17 years old.
On another note, I worked in the hotel industry for more than 5 years, so If you are looking for to focus on business English or need help to prepare for an interview, I can help you as well! I have experienced working in Human Resources and I will be happy to give you any tips along the way.
My interests and hobbies:
I love painting and photography. I also love travelling, learning new languages and cultures. I was a flamenco dancer for 14 years and teacher for 2 years, so if you would like to try, let me know!
Credentials and Qualifications:
· Bachelor of Translation, Media and Modern Languages (Spanish and Japanese)
