At Alumni, I worked with the communicative approach, teaching all levels (A1 - C1) and ages (from 5 year olds on). I also took part in the team that created the newest teen courses, which involved coming up with guidelines for each lesson taught, as well as games, slides and use of apps in the classroom. I have had about 80 students simultaneously, kids to adults. Besides teaching an average of 27 hours a week.

At Wizard, I worked with regular and mixed levels groups using the Neuro Linguistic Programming teaching method. There, I was responsible for teaching 11 groups, which added up to over 80 students. In order to fulfill my responsibilities well, it required great organizational and time management skills in order to weekly prepare lessons, teach, collect the students’ homework pages, correct and return them in due time.

At Fisk, I taught children and teens, levels A1-B1 in site and at partner-schools.

At Challenges Idiomas I taught Kids as young as 4 years old, teens and adults from level A1 to B2 in site or at their homes (privately). I was also responsible for filling out reports and meeting with parents and give them a clear picture of their children's development. For the lessons, I invested a lot of creativity and had the freedom to pick the material to be used, plan the exercises and games and could also consult with my coordinator at the time.
