In 2023, I graduated with a degree in Tourism. This program allowed me to better understand areas like travel planning and cultural heritage management, two fields I am passionate about. While completing my studies, I also worked part-time as a Spanish teacher on an online language-learning platform. I am still working with the platform today, and over the years, I have accumulated over 2000 private lessons with more than 90 students from all around the world. I have also received more than 50 positive reviews, which I take as a testament to my commitment to providing quality lessons. My experience working with different students has been fantastic, although my connection and my love of teaching goes way back. When I was very young, I got a small, but, at the same time, a big present if you look at it in retrospect: a little chalkboard my parents gave me. With that board, I acted as if I was the teacher, while my toys were the students... It is funny how things work out because, 18 years later, I have the incredible luck of connecting with students like you. However, now, instead of toys, I have real, motivated people who allow me to help them in their Spanish learning journey. It feels amazing to see how we grow together, just like I imagined back then, but this time for real. Because of that, after finishing my Tourism degree, in 2024 I decided to specialise in teaching and earned the ELE (Spanish as a Foreign Language) certificate. This qualification gave me both the theory and practice to teach Spanish effectively to non-native speakers. Thanks to this certificate, I was able to start working at a language academy, although on a very part-time basis.
