@ludwigvasquez
English teacher and certified speaking examiner specializing in international exams.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’ve been a proficient and qualified English teacher for the past 15 years, coordinating programs and officially examining speaking since 2014. I specialize in International Exams in different positions such as proctor, invigilator, administrator, and speaking examiner.
I’m defined by a very personal desire to excel at the task, project or responsibility I commit myself to. In recent roles, I assess and deliver official TEA (Tests of English of Aviation) exams and serve as an ESAT/J Examiner, IELTS Speaking Examiner (Standard, UKVI & Life Skills), and speaking interlocutor for official centers.
I also bring strong academic leadership: I’ve advised teachers and schools on updating curricula, integrating pedagogical experiences, and developing instruments to guarantee academic quality. Alongside teaching (A1–C1 under CEFR guidelines), I provide teacher training and assessment delivery with standardized procedures and CEFR alignment.
