@annanarciso
Highly experienced multilingual educator with a passion for language teaching.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly experienced multilingual professional with over a decade of expertise in education, particularly as a Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) Teacher and ESOL/English Lecturer. My journey has allowed me to teach diverse groups, from KS3 students to adult learners, and I take pride in designing engaging and differentiated lessons that cater to various learning needs. My commitment to student success is evident in my ability to assess progress effectively and implement behavior management strategies that foster a positive learning environment.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have a strong background in translation and workshop facilitation, having delivered CPD courses across the UK and Europe. My administrative and customer service skills were honed through roles in insurance account management and financial administration, where I managed client accounts and handled documentation with precision. I am passionate about curriculum development and staff training, and I believe in the importance of creating culturally rich learning experiences that enhance language acquisition and integration.
