PERSONAL BACKGROUND

I have an absolute passion for teaching. I have had many teaching roles at different points, during my career. After successfully completing TEFL150 hours and Advanced Business English courses, I feel I have the skills to move on to my ambition of teaching English. 
I recently completed my long-term dream of moving to Valencia, Spain from the UK. I began learning the Spanish language in classes in the UK, five years ago. This was in preparation for my new adventure. I now have a working knowledge of the language and continue to improve. 
My main hobby is cycling. I am a member of a cycling team in Valencia. This gives me every opportunity to meet new friends, explore my surroundings and truly embrace the Spanish culture.

I have the original certificates to support all the qualifications that I have mentioned.
