Dedicated educational professional with a passion for fostering young learners.
What I'm looking for
With seven years of experience as an educational professional, I have dedicated my career to supporting young learners in their social and emotional development. My journey began with a strong educational foundation, earning a Master’s degree in English as a Second Language and Bilingual Education from Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, where I honed my skills in curriculum design and diverse educational settings.
Throughout my career, I have worked as an English Language Teaching Assistant in various schools across Spain, collaborating with teachers to create engaging lesson plans and materials tailored to the developmental stages of young children. I take pride in fostering a safe and nurturing learning environment that encourages cognitive and social growth, while also enhancing language acquisition through interactive activities and cultural projects.
