Davinia Longo

Hola! My name is Davinia, age 24 from Malta, very small island located below Italy and Sicily and I will be moving to Madrid in the beginning of January which is why I was hoping to find a job related to teaching, specifically teaching English as a foreign language.

I've been working in this line of profession for about 3 years now. I received my CELTA certificate in May and worked in two different language schools since. I've taught students ranging from the ages of 5 years to over 60 year old and their levels varied from beginner all the way to advanced and catered for IELS examination courses and business class as well. I also did administration work during the quiet months in our establishment which involved organising paperwork, testing and interviewing students for level placement, distribution of books and dealing with clients queries. I had also gone for an internship to China in summer , mainly teaching young learners as well as teenagers to improve and practice their English. The internship with AIESEC lasted about 3months. I also studied for 3 years at the university of Malta and achieved a diploma in bachelor of education in primary teaching, in which I also had the opportunity to teach young children for 2 months as our course involved a teaching practice which also included preparation of separate individual lessons for students requiring further innovative lessons due to any particular learning disabilities (such as dyslexics and autistics)

I am interested in applying as a TEFL/English teacher in either a language school as well as in a primary/secondary school. I consider myself quite an experienced teacher, with innovative methods of teaching after these years of practice, and I am very dedicated to the job. I'm also very organised and confident when facing a class and am able to adapt lessons according to the student's needs and expectations. I'm also quite flexible and work well under pressure.

I very much look forward to working in Madrid as it is a lovely city and wish to experience something new as well as meet new, interesting people.
