Welcome to my blog!

 

I have more than 24 years of experience in education; teaching, tutoring and working in administration both in the USA and abroad. I am currently an English Instructor at Comillas University in Madrid, a Bilingual Teacher Trainer for the Department of Education of Madrid, The Department of Education of Castille and Leon. and an English Language Assistant Trainer for the Catholic Schools of Madrid. I am also an English Language Presenter for Cambdridge English Language Assessment in Spain. I have been teaching English for 14 years in Madrid to all age groups, from nursery to adults.

 

I completed a 250 hour diploma course at Comillas University titled "Specialist in Methodology of the Teaching and Learning of English in the Classroom." An integral part of this course was a teaching practicum completed at Colegio Nuestra Señora de Loreto, which also included teaching teachers and preparing them for the First Certificate in English.

 

My principal areas of interest and research are bilingual and international education, as well as visual literacy and how to implement authentic material in the EFL classroom. I have given numerous presentations throughout Spain on CLIL and English teaching methodology and I am a current member of TESOL-SPAIN.
