Passionate and inspiring Teacher of Modern Foreign Languages specialising in Spanish, French and Mandarin, that inspires to make a difference and help students recognise and achieve their full potential. Coming from a performing arts background, I love to incorporate my hobbies into my language teaching to make my lessons fun, engaging and interactive.

My PGCE in Secondary Modern Languages at the University of Nottingham has allowed me to develop my theory and practice as a teacher, educator and reflective practitioner. The programme has developed my resilience, adaptability, cultural awareness and organisation skills to name a few. I strive to develop my personal and professional skills and attributes in all areas.As a private languages tutor with Lingo Mix, I thoroughly enjoy tailoring my lessons according to the students\' needs and help them to make rapid progress and achieve their goals no matter their level or proficiency in the target language.As a Tes Author, it has allowed me to develop my creativity skills by designing, showcasing and sharing my teaching resources and materials with other teachers and educators as well as getting inspiration of ideas from other authors to continue to design my own worksheets, PPTs and materials for purchase. Experience has been gained as an ESOL teacher at the Derby Multicultural Centre, Spanish Languages Assistant in Valencia, voluntary teaching in both primary and secondary schools have given me the opportunity to adapt and work in a variety of settings with the ability to prepare lessons that focus on the students\' goals of English language learning with the ability to stand up in front of the classroom to deliver lessons specifically aimed at the learners and their goals. Furthermore, doing an internship as a Spanish Languages Assistant and Observer at AIP Language Institute gave me the opportunity to observe a range of lessons from levels A1-C1, Business Spanish and DELE. Participating in extra-curricular activities related to Valencian culture helped to improve my knowledge and understanding of Valencian history, gastronomy, architecture as well as using my Spanish constantly.I am TEFL certified having completed a 120-hour TEFL course with TEFL Org.
