My experience spans various roles in education, including classroom teacher, tutor, and homeschooling provider. This versatility allows me to create engaging and effective learning experiences for a wide range of students. Enriching my over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience is my role as an examiner for English Literature in a well-respected UK examination board. This expertise ensures my lessons are aligned with the latest curriculum and assessment practices.

I prioritize fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered and confident. From day one, I create positive connections to encourage active participation. My passion for diverse subjects (K-12) fuels personalized learning paths. Through differentiation strategies and collaboration, I ensure students of all ages grasp concepts, develop strong foundations, and build valuable collaboration skills. Witnessing their growth into well-rounded individuals is the ultimate reward.

My educational journey began in 1998, teaching private piano lessons in Madrid and Vigo, Spain. After graduating, I transitioned to working as a peripatetic teacher in England, helping prepare students for successful school musicals. This experience honed my ability to adapt to diverse learning styles and manage complex projects under tight deadlines. Throughout my career, I've fostered a love of learning in students across a range of subjects, including music (piano and music theory), English language and literature, science (particularly chemistry, a subject I'm passionate about), and mathematics. In my most recent role as a BSc tutor, I helped students not only improve their grades in these subjects but also develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for them. My experience spans both traditional school settings and online programs, demonstrating my adaptability and comfort with various learning environments. I'm a strong believer in lifelong learning, which is why I pursued a second degree to further enhance my teaching skills.
