Jessica Nuñez
@jessicanuez
Experienced Spanish teacher specializing in curriculum development and inclusive classroom practice.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Spanish teacher with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a background teaching both secondary pupils (KS3–KS5) and adult learners. I combine curriculum development, differentiated instruction, and assessment to support linguistic, cognitive, and emotional growth.
During my time teaching in London schools I delivered GCSE-level Spanish and supported French at key stages, receiving positive feedback from parents and students and contributing to extracurricular activities. I also planned and taught evening Spanish classes for adult beginners, adapting lessons for diverse learner needs.
My professional toolkit includes experience with interactive whiteboards, exam invigilation, and strong parent-teacher liaison skills. I hold TEFL/TESOL certifications and additional qualifications such as ECT and French SKE to strengthen my classroom practice.
I am passionate about enhancing educational experiences through innovative, inclusive teaching methods and continuous professional development, seeking roles where I can further impact learner outcomes and contribute to a collaborative school community.
