I am a Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) teacher with over seven years of experience teaching both French and Spanish. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in diverse educational environments across England, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Belgium. This international experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of various curricula and the ability to adapt my teaching methods to meet the unique needs of my students.

As an educator, I am deeply committed to fostering an engaging and meaningful learning experience. I believe that it is essential not only to make learning enjoyable but also to ensure that students clearly understand the purpose behind their activities. My goal is to create a classroom environment where a strong sense of belonging is cultivated, and shared values and objectives inspire and unite the group.
