What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my teaching skills while fostering a positive learning environment and encouraging student growth.

As a dedicated Private English Tutor based in Almería, I specialize in creating personalized learning experiences tailored to each student's fluency level. My approach incorporates engaging and energetic activities that not only make learning enjoyable but also ensure that students grasp the material effectively. I am committed to assessing students' understanding and employing instructional strategies that fill gaps in their knowledge, fostering a supportive and productive learning environment.

Previously, I served as a Language Assistant at NALCAP, where I assisted students in broadening their knowledge through culture and language. My experience includes developing interactive lesson plans and games that engage students and enhance their learning experience. Additionally, my role as an Event Lead at Garver Events honed my organizational and communication skills, allowing me to manage events efficiently while addressing customer concerns effectively.
