Summary

Since 2019, I have been working in an English language academy, first as an assistant teacher and then as a teacher. I have obtained my CELTA certificate and I am now continuing my training to teach Spanish to anyone who wants to learn it. I have just moved to Ireland and I am looking for an opportunity in Dublin where I can contribute to the training of students and continue to grow professionally in a multicultural environment.
