Most recent recent experience

September 2021- now -  I started doing my part-time academy job again, this time teaching pre-teens, teens and adults at levels A2-C1. Two of the classes were preparation for the C1 exam.  I am now preparing a group for the B2 exam.  In addition, this month my general English online classes with my three adult students at levels A2 to C1 have restarted,  as well as my three 1-t-1 online company classes again at levels A2 to C2.  Their classes are a mixture of Business and general English.

September 2018  to  July 2021  -  In October 2018 I started having class again with my 2 B2-C1 students at JP Morgan (C1-preparation class/business English) and with my C1 private student (C1-preparation class too).  I also taught two groups of civilians and soldiers at INVIED at levels A2-B1 on Monday and Wednesday lunchtimes until December 2019. All those classes have stopped, as the companies´ budgets for training ran out.  On the other hand, from March to September 2019 I did a part-time academy job substitution teaching pre-school/primary kids, pre-teens and teens at levels A1-B2. During July 2019 I did a one-week intensive with three teenagers who were sitting the B2 exam that month, which they passed, and a one-week summer course with children aged 6-8 for the same academy.  As well as that, in October 2019 I started teaching two judges at the Tribunal Supremo at level B2. Those classes stopped last February due to the pandemic.  In addition, I started teaching in-company classes adding up to 15 hours per week on 7th January of last year. These classes were face to face to begin with, went online on 9th March due to the coronavirus and finished on 2nd April. However, one of my company classes had some recoup online sessions in June and finished in July 2020. In November 2020 I finished teaching the student I started to prepare for the IELTS exam in February 2021, which he sat/passed in July. We have continued having class. In addition, in June 2020 I began to have online conversation classes with three students at levels A2 to C1, and in September 2019 I started teaching a high-level worker at level B1 at the Ministerio de Administraciones Públicas.  Her classes finished in March 2020 due to the pandemic and to her busy schedule.


 
                                                                                     
September 2017 – July 2018  -  T/Th part-time academy job (see descriptions below).  On the other hand in October I returned to JP Morgan, the company where I taught Business English/C1-preparation classes at until last June, to teach 5 hours/week there this year.

The focus theme of both camps was Cervantes´s and Shakespeare´s 400th anniversary, so most of the materials used were based on that.
