I am an English national born in London but I have lived in Spain since 2008.
I currently teach English to Spanish students in an English Academy based in the local town of
Fortuna, Murcia. I have been working in this capacity for the last three years. My students are
predominantly children aged 5 to 16, however we also cater for adults as well. The Academy is
about to begin it's Summer break so I am looking for additional hours. This is not a short term
objective for me as I intend to continue with the online teaching once the Academy resumes in
September. My Academy hours would easily fit the schedule of teaching to overseas students based
upon the different time zones.
My qualifications (see details below), coupled with my work experience, make me believe I am
well suited to online tuition opportunities. Throughout my life I have been involved in many
training / teaching positions which has resulted in me having excellent communication and
understanding skills. I am flexible and patient in my lesson approach.
Over the years I have used computers for business and leisure so I have a good understanding of
facilities that may be useful to online positions e.g. Skype and Office programmes.
I initially began teaching sixteen years ago as an additional job alongside my full time business
commitments. When I began teaching, I taught art to children and adult beginners. I still run some
art classes on that basis here in Spain. However, I began additional training when I decided to
relocate to Spain, so I completed a basic TEFL course.
Since arriving in Spain I have maintained both Art and English classes. Originally my English
tuition was limited to private individual classes. However, for the past three years I have worked
within an Academy teaching groups of up to eight students, five days a week.
