World citizen in love with travelling to discover different cultures and languages. Teaching and learning FLs is my passion together with reading, practising sports and watching movies on the Internet (that's what I use the Internet most for). Always fond of getting to know people from other countries with different views of the world from mine.

My mother tongue is Spanish but I´ve been learning English since I was a little kid and now it's my turn to return to the world of education what it has given me: a fondness for languages and multiculturalism.

My family is not interested in languages or teaching at all but I've been told it was clear I was meant to be a teacher since my early age: I was always trying to teach new things to younger ones!

When I had to decide what degree to choose at University, I did not hesitate: English Studies was my thing. I loved the degree and, after I finished, I moved to England.

In England, I worked as a Language Assistant and Cover Teacher in a Secondary School which I loved. I can´t say my stay in the UK was amazing, because it wasn´t in many senses, but I got to know fascinating people and I improved my English pronunciation a lot.

Now, I'm back in Spain training to become the English teacher I've always wanted to be: passionate and able to motivate my future students to be passionate about English as well. I do also want to be in contact with the rest of the world. For this reason, I believe cooperating with other people and working in groups is essential. In my opinion people in a group should share their ideas and goals and each member should focus on what their best at to finally create a successful project.
