who am i 

«I love to get immersed in the everyday life of those countries I travel to,

and know is my time to help you to do the same.»

Before my time as a teacher and when I was a teenager, I was not a good student and I used to fail exams, including English, that I was not a big fan of, I simply couldn´t take it in.

By the time I finished Secondary school and having realized that I didn’t know what to do for a living, I decided to move to England for a while and catch up with English properly; and do at the same time I could get my head around what to do next.

During my stay in there, I learnt bits and bobs of the language all in basic level but enough to get by and communicate on everyday-life situations like ordering a menu in a bar, make small talk with people and ask simple things.

At that point, I started growing my patient.

One summer a friend of mine asked me if I could teach English to her nephews because they needed teaching support to pass final exams at College.

At the beginning I declined the offer, because I thought my English was not good enough to perform well; but then I decided to give it a go, and I started teaching.

I really liked the experience with those guys that, honestly, were a little bit disinterested and a bit lazy too… But their rapport about my teaching was very good and actually they both passed their exams.

Their feedback plus my own joy teaching those guys clicked in my head; and that´s exactly when I decided to pursue a career in teaching.

So, I took the decision to go back to England, and shaping the idea in my head of how to become a professional teacher of Spanish for adults.

I enrolled studies in teaching methodology, at the same time, I also started teaching Spanish in Brighton.

Along that period, I had many students with totally different ages, all of them  identified with me in a way they looked at me as a person who was living in a foreign country and found her way to learn English.

My life story provided credibility and built trust, that´s to say, if I could do it, they certainly could as well! As a language learner myself I understood every different stage they were going through, fears, insecurities etc.

That´s what made us built an excellent rapport with each other.

During my stay in UK I hired a private teacher, participated in several language-exchange, and at the same time I listened to the radio frequently, or watched English movies, I also experienced the emotional roller coaster accompanying the process of learning a new language properly.

I was under the impression that I was helpless, and no progress was made despite my efforts, And sure, I had to face the reality and went through many circumstances where I had to push my English to be able to communicate.

Sometimes I felt frustrated, and suddenly one day without even realizing it I found myself talking English fluently.

Really, believe me. It was as if someone had introduced a microchip in my brain or put a magic formula in my coffee that morning. Seriously, this is the so-called learning process and how it works.

That was a very rewarding experience and such an amazing feeling of achievement.

When you immerse yourself in the journey of learning something new, you have to go through various different stages, some ups and downs that can indeed be challenging every now and then.

This is normal don’t get stressed if you have been through that.

The crux of the matter is to not desperate. Be patient and allow yourself to make mistakes, and then gradually expose yourself a little bit every day. You will see the progress eventually.

It´s like adding a drop of water every day into a glass. It´s going to take a while to see the glass filled in, but eventually when you last expect it, your glass will be full.

So now since I´m back in my Marbella, I am here to accompany you in this journey and walk you through your learning process.
