About me - English
I’m a passionate linguist, language teacher and learner. I have a Bachelor degree in Spanish and a Masters degree in teaching French as a foreign language. During and after my studies I have extensively travelled the world working or studying in different places such as Argentina, Italy, Ireland, Peru, Bolivia, the UK, Colombia, Spain, Eastern Europe and it has been over 6 years that I have lived in the South of China.
I love languages (currently my attention is focused on Chinese and Portuguese) as well as all the outdoor activities, good coffee and dark chocolate. I’m trying to minimise my impact on the planet Earth living a more mindful life.
Qualifications & Experience
I have a Masters degree in teaching French as a Foreign Language from the Sorbonne University in Paris (2012) and 10-year long experience teaching languages.
I’m also a certified DELF and DALF examiner.
I have DELE C2 diploma in Spanish (2009) and the Certificate of Proficiency in English (2004).
I have extensive experience working with children and adults.
I have been working at Sun Yat-sen University 中山大学 for the last 6 years as a language instructor and program coordinator.
Teaching Approach
I believe communication is the most important part of the language learning process. Communicating in another language is possible from day 1.
