Hi, everyone! I’m Lucía, a passionate English teacher from Spain and now also Dual Diploma Director at our Maristas Navalmoral school. This course 2023/2024 is the first time we’re running the programme, and we’re excited about the great opportunity our students are having thanks to Academica.
I’ve been working here since 2021, and I have always taught English but also Spanish and some language-related support subjects in Secondary. In the English Department I’m also part of the preparation of Cambridge Exams and I continuously cooperate with the Head of Department in the organization of every activity or project we implement in our Department.
Before I dedicated myself to teaching exclusively, I’ve been working as a Legal and Media Translator for more than 12 years. I have always been in touch with the English language and culture since I was a little girl, and I fall in love with it so much that I decided to dedicate my professional career to share and teach my passion with as much people as possible. I have spent many years living in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and I travel to US and UK whenever I can. Therefore, I think that the students who are enrolled in the programme are going to benefit from countless advantages not only as students but also as professionals when they grow up because I’m sure that besides improving their English, they’re also going to be improving skills such as autonomy, social behaviour, responsibility, commitment and public speaking skills. I’m looking forward to starting to see these results in the short term!
