Lorena|Okinawa|Spain

I have been always passionate about languages and education. I have devoted the last 13 years to teaching and the last 6 years to language teaching. When I finished my university degree, I was responsible for organising after school English classes for children. Later on I have mostly focused on teaching adults. I have experience teaching a wide range of different subjects: Equality & diversity, Health & Safety, Presentation skills... The last 6 years I have focused on teaching Spanish and English.

I am also very confident with new technologies (Google docs, Canva, Quizlet...). I have experience creating my own materials and also teaching language in an online environment, via Skype.

I moved to Okinawa 1 year and a half ago and now that I am starting to feel a bit more confident with my Japanese I am looking forward to starting teaching again soon.
