English Teacher for official C1 Cambridge Exams, focusing on reading, writing, speaking, listening and use of English skills at the Saturday School in the British School of Gran Canaria. Here I create engaging and interactive lessons to enhance students' language proficiency and fluency. I provide a fun, motivating and dynamic learning environment based on strong interpersonal and communication skills. Through effective collaboration with students, parents, and colleagues, I create a tailored experience for all my students preferences and needs. I am passionate about promoting language acquisition and empowering students to not only pass their exams, but to deepen their knowledge of and fluency in the English language, while harnessing a love for languages, linguistics and international culture.
