I am a passionate teacher and I have been teaching for 13 years. I currently teach from Pre-A1 to C1 level, but I specialise in pre-school and primary level students. For me Good News is more than an academy, we are a family.

I enjoy teaching English from pre-school to adults, as well as preparing my students for Cambridge exams. One of my maxims is Benjamin Franklin's "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn". Being able to accompany my students on this exciting journey of discovery, learning and skill development is a real gift and very enriching for me. It is very fulfilling to watch them improve.

My passion for teaching comes from my desire to help others. From my point of view, as teachers, we must give our students the resources to empower themselves. English, as lingua franca, is an open door through which we can achieve academic and career goals, while discovering an awesome culture. Good News puts its students first, and they do everything from the heart. All members of the academy are considered part of a big family. I currently work with children, teenagers and adults, preparing Cambridge levels from A2 to C1. I feel very lucky to be part of this project.

The "Good News" project began more than twenty years ago. Tired of seeing how the methodologies used in the formal school centres failed and how the level of English offered to the students was not adequate according to the European educational requirements, I decided to start a programme based on innovation, creativity, dynamism, good teaching and focused specifically on the student. Due to the characteristics of my students, we needed to offer good results without overcommitting their daily agenda. For this reason, my method was based on weekly attendance in small groups of a maximum of six students.
In the first place, I made sure that the academic performance of the students was the desired one, and secondly, I approached them to bilingualism. For this, I focused mainly on the oral comprehension and production of the language, because I considered that it was not being worked at schools in an effective way. Over time I began to prepare my students for the attainment of official accreditation through Cambridge University, accepted throughout the world.
The project began to give excellent results. My idea of merging into a single class: fun, personalised attention, work culture, educational psychopedagogical techniques and methodologies related to multiple intelligences, proved to be a success. These results began to spread and more and more students wanted to belong to the novel programme. I am happy to say that even today our only source of recruitment of students is word of mouth.
Over the years, the project has adapted to the new needs. At present, "Good News" has become a centre of studies with its own entity and with a teaching staff that shares the exposed principles and my way of understanding the teaching-learning process.
