Spanish instructor teaching Beginning Spanish in the School of Sciences and Humanities at Nazarbayev University. I earned my Modern Languages and Translation Degree from University of Alcalá (Madrid) in 2018, studying my third year at University of Portsmouth (UK). Once I graduated, I pursued a Master’s Degree in Education with the specialization in Foreign Language Teaching at University of Zaragoza in 2019. The following academic year, thanks to the Fulbright scholarship, I worked as a Spanish teaching assistant at Gardner-Webb University, North Carolina (US). After that, I started studying a Master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language at Pablo de Olavide University, while simultaneously teaching English at an English language school, preparing for Cambridge B1 (PET) and B2 (FIRST) certificates. I am passionate about learning new languages and exploring and understanding the culture of its speakers.
