Professional Summary
Experienced and versatile English language professional with a strong background in Business English and corporate training. Skilled at equipping professionals with the language tools needed to excel in global markets. Focused on clarity, confidence, and cross-cultural competence. Adept in tailoring lessons to meet organisational goals and individual development plans.
I am committed to promoting equitable access to education and empowering students to find their voice in English, regardless of cultural or linguistic background. As an advocate for inclusivity and diversity, I view language not just as a tool for communication, but as a means of fostering mutual understanding and respect.
As a highly experienced English teacher and curriculum designer, I help learners meet personal, academic, and professional goals through personalized, adaptive instruction. Over the past 12+ years, I have taught in a wide range of settings—state schools, private academies, businesses, and online—across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and learner autonomy, combining communicative and task-based methodologies with techniques that reduce anxiety and foster resilience.
I have developed strategies to support learners facing memory, stress, or confidence challenges, and I consistently maintain high retention and satisfaction rates. I believe in teaching as a shared journey: the teacher as facilitator, guide, and co-learner.
Before transitioning into education, I worked in IT consulting, mainly in the financial sector. My roles included systems rollouts, QA, software testing, and project management with national and multinational clients such as Citibank, Microsoft, and E-Bay. This technical background enhances my business English instruction and professional versatility.
I hold an Honours BA in Spanish, Sociology, and Social Justice from University College Dublin, a TESOL certification, and additional qualifications in IT and project management. I am also a lifelong volunteer, with experience supporting community education and advocacy in Ireland, Spain, and Chile.
I bring dedication, cultural sensitivity, and a learner-focused mindset to every classroom.
