Experience / Qualifications

🇦🇷 March 2023 — September 2023: English Language Assistant at IES Simón Bolivar, Córdoba, Argentina (British Council: Ministerio de Educación Argentina).

1 of 8 successful candidates chosen by the British Council to gain further crucial experience in teaching English Language to foreign speakers in Argentina in this incredibly prestigious opportunity.

Confident user of Zoom and able to develop instructional techniques under the guidance of bilingual professional teachers. Formed and held weekly debate classes in English and Spanish with students so as to improve students’ conversational skills in English whilst simultaneously developing my own and develop teaching techniques and Spanish language.

Furthermore, have been able to significantly improve fluency in Spanish and develop my use of Argentine vocabulary and accent. Cultural immersion through the likes of Speakeasy and Mundo Lingo linguistic exchange events has allowed me to attain a high linguistic level in both spoken and written form.

🇫🇷 September 2022 — February 2023: English Language ‘Locuteur’ (Teacher) at Institution Saint Jeanne d’Arc (ISJA Brignoles), Brignoles, France (Language Connexion).

Gained crucial experience in teaching English Language to foreign speakers as well as developing key skills necessary to overcome challenges presented by adolescent students.

Also significantly improved fluency in French, especially given the collective lack of English speakers both within both country itself and, naturally, the classroom. As such, cultural immersion has allowed me to attain a high linguistic level in both spoken and written form.
