@annaruth
Experienced linguist and educator with a focus on language acquisition.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated linguist and educator, I have over seven years of experience in the field of education, specializing in phonetics, language acquisition, and bilingual education. My journey began with a BA in Spanish Language & Cultural Studies, followed by an MA in Translation Studies and a PGCE from the University of Nottingham. My academic background has equipped me with a strong foundation in linguistic detail and a passion for early language development.
Currently, I am the founder of FunZonePhonics, where I develop phonics-based digital learning resources aimed at enhancing early speech development and literacy. My role as an EAL Coordinator and Language Teacher at St. Patrick’s International School in Barcelona has allowed me to support multilingual learners effectively, adapting curricula to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking children acquiring English. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to create engaging learning experiences that foster language acquisition.
