Elena's achtergrond

I personally I enjoy being able to help others and the way I have found to be useful to society is teaching my mother tongue. After my degree in Art History, I decided that I wanted to share my knowledge and dedicate my career to education; It was there when I did the University Master in Teacher Training. Although the specialty was in Art History, the experience helped me to apply what I learned to other content in which I would later specialise. After moving abroad and realising the importance of learning new languages, is when I took a course that certifies me for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. This would allow me to know specific strategies to teach the language. One of the main aspects I've learned during the course was the importance of creating activities in which students find a real meaning of what they learn and that is applicable to their daily lives.
