I have over thirty years' experience in EFL teaching to different ages and levels, especially in secondary schools and adult education schools (escoles de formació de persones adultes).

I received my B.A. in English Philology from the University of Barcelona (UB) in 1989. I have also undertaken several language studies in the E.O.I. Barcelona Drassanes, including French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Chinese.

I started teaching English and French in different high schools until I entered the domain of adult education in 2000.

In 2005 I passed the civil servant exam and since then I have continued working in adult schools as a language teacher (English, Spanish and Catalan). I have also been director of studies at CFA Catalònia for six years.

I have also worked as a teacher assessor and teacher trainer at the Servei d'Educació al Llarg de la Vida (Lifelong Learning Managament Service) of the Departament d'Educació of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Ministry of Education of Catalonia) for six years (2013-2019).

I am currently working at CFA Pere Calders in Barcelona as an English and Spanish teacher for adults.
