I am a native of Havana, Cuba and have been living in Belfast, N Ireland, since 2005. While in Cuba I qualified as a teacher. I am also qualified to teach Spanish as a foreign language. I have a strong interest in learning and teaching languages: as well as being a native speaker of Spanish I am fluent in English and Italian and speak basic French. From teacher training in Havana to community projects in Belfast I have demonstrated I can work successfully with people at all levels. I am always interested in learning about new ways to teach Spanish and in meeting students from a wide variety of cultures.

I qualified as a teacher in Havana and have been teaching Spanish and Fine Art since 2001. Since living in N Ireland I have been teaching Spanish through my involvement in various community groups.

I like to really get to know my students in order to find out what level they are at and what exactly their needs are. I always design my lessons specifically for my students. I encourage my students to speak as much as possible and not to worry about making mistakes. I place great importance on making the lessons enjoyable. I use a variety of resources including online sources.
