About

I grew up in the beautiful village of Vejer de la Frontera, near Cádiz in Spain. I have over eleven years’ experience teaching Spanish in the UK, as well as eight years in Spain.

I teach Spanish as a foreign language at the prestigious Instituto Cervantes, London – as well as at several UK universities, including Imperial College, London Business School and King’s College.

I teach Spanish across all levels (A1 to C2), including for international business.

By teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds and learning styles, I’ve honed my communication, creativity, and motivational skills. I have an inherent passion for fostering collaboration, and for creating engaging and exciting educational environments.  

I have a proven track record of supporting, coaching and training students to achieve their goals.
