I completed my studies after 4 and a half years in a Chilean University, where I graduated with a high distinction as an English Teacher. I had the chance to teach children from year 1 to year 13 in Chile, getting to know a wide range of levels and students. My partner and I decided to move to New Zealand in 2011 and we have called this country our home since then. In 2016 I had the chance to work as an ESOL teacher aide in Lincoln Primary School, helping migrant students to grow and thrive in the school environment. Since 2019 I have been able to support Spanish classes during enrichment and currently I have been given the opportunity to teach Spanish to senior students. I consider myself very caring, reliable, honest and empathetic. My main goal is to make sure our migrant students feel encouraged and safe. It is a pleasure to see them succeed, get on well with others and reach their goals after all their hard work.Outside school I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially my 4 year old son and partner. I love dancing, singing, baking, crafting, gardening, languages, watching movies and learning new things.
