Marina Garrido
@marinagarrido
I create engaging Spanish language learning experiences using inclusive teaching and digital learning tools.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I deliver full-time Spanish instruction at Alperton Community School, building supportive relationships that strengthen students’ communication skills, confidence, oral comprehension, and grammar retention.
I also provide personalised online tutoring through Tutor Hunt and My Spanish Tutor, adapting lessons to each learner’s pace, style, milestones, and exam goals.
Across schools in the UK and Spain, I’ve designed interactive curriculum-aligned lessons, maintained continuity as a supply teacher, and created inclusive learning environments for diverse student groups. My experience also includes history teaching, museum education, and cross-cultural recreational programmes at Camp Kostopulos.
I’m expanding my educational practice through UX/UI design, Figma, wireframing, prototyping, project management, Moodle, AI, and digital material design to create more interactive, user-centred learning environments.
