Irene Llopis Rocamora

About me:

My name is Irene, and I am a native speaker of English, Spanish and Catalan since one of my grandparents was Catalan, my Grandmother is from the USA and my other grandparents are from southern Spain.

During my career as a teacher I have taught Spanish for foreign learners and English for foreign learners. I have attended to many courses and workshops to develop new teacher skills and also I have always had a lot of experience with many different aged groups from toddlers to adults.

My methodology:

I have different systems when I teach adults and young learners, however it is always a fun approach.
With adults I like to follow a coaching system where they are some short term and long term goals established and the student works in the class and outside of the class with different materials of interests always from a communicative approach. I like to focus in every skill. However I can also teach groups of adults and then we have some pedagogical dynamics and games that are of interest also.

When it comes to children I am an expert in Jolly learning which is a system for english phonics that I adapted myself to Spanish. I also have a lot of IT resources such as tablets apps, to play games with them, and some story telling books that I adapt myself to make them more interactive.

I also have experience in teaching teenagers and adults and training them for oficial exams. I have some materias to follow the books and also many games for each age that makes learning more interesting.

I have experience teaching Spanish for business, Spanish for academic purpose and Spanish from a communicative approach.
