CREATIVITY, EMPATHY, EXPERIENCE, PRECISION and INNOVATION.
My personal and professional hallmarks are the combination of the above five features, combined with a lifelong learning attitude. Having extensive experience as an English Teacher and Information Manager for over 30 years, my current goal is to share this wide-ranging background. How? By motivating, guiding and teaching.

As a business person or researcher, you probably need communicative results, in the short term, to solve specific challenges; as a student, you need innovative tools to widen your knowledge, and prepare for the future. I firmly believe in high achievement performance and this is why I have learned mentoring, coaching and training techniques, developing a new English learning programme designed as an action plan which covers both complementary projects, and specific goals. Based on my former training experience, for professionals willing to boost their English to the next level, such an innovative method offers an updated approach for language learning.

I teach English for Tourism and my previous responsibilities covered English for Specific and Professional Purposes (English for Opticians and English for the Tourism Industry). Moreover, I design, coordinate , and take an active role in cultural programmes, and events, such as workshops, speaking activities and radio collaborations.

The fact that I couple academic qualifications with this wide range of field experience makes me manage professional projects with realism in mind. My interdisciplinary methodology integrates Linguistics, Information Science and Communication skills, meeting Humanities, in a practical and refreshing way.
