Meet our Team

Director of the Cambridge Spanish Centre for over ten years, I have had the privilege of working with dedicated teams and learners of all ages. French, Spanish and English are part of my daily life and identity, and I have always believed that speaking several languages opens doors to others, to the world, and to oneself.  Over the years, my goal has always remained the same: to make languages a bridge between cultures, a source of inspiration and connection.

A language learner for as long as I can remember, I turned my favourite after-school club into a lifelong professional path. As a Spanish-Polish native with over a decade of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language and pastoral care, I am rejoining the Hub to support teachers in creating flexible learning pathways that prioritise students’ active involvement in their own learning journey. I love learning while teaching.

I am an English native who has been learning Spanish for the last 11 years due to my love of Spanish language and culture. I currently spend a month each year in the country to deepen my connections with friends there and to support my own language development. My professional background is in education, having been a primary practitioner for 30 years, 10 of which were as Headteacher. I love sharing knowledge with young people and seeing them develop.

I am a Spanish native. I love travelling and exploring new cultures, so I am pleased to organise and promote Spanish-speaking cultural events. My objective is to share knowledge about the Hispanic language and culture, while interacting with our community through social media.
I have a degree in French Philology, which developed my passion for languages and teaching.

Prevent Awareness certified

I’ve been teaching Spanish since 2018 and am a fully qualified Languages teacher. Having taught in both primary and secondary schools, as well as working as an examiner, I understand what students need to become independent learners. My lessons are engaging, well-structured, and tailored to each learner, creating a positive environment where students feel supported, challenged, and inspired to become confident Spanish speakers. Whether you’re preparing for GCSEs, A-levels, DELE, or learning as an adult, I love helping students build confidence, enjoy learning, and achieve their personal goals.

I am a PhD Candidate in Spanish Literature at the University of Cambridge, with experience teaching Spanish as a Second Language and its literatures in the United Kingdom and abroad. I have published three poetry books, and my work appears in various online journals and magazines. In my literature classes, I integrate close reading of the texts with a sociocultural perspective, helping students explore the diverse voices and contexts that shape the Hispanic world.

Born in Spain, I have always lived a multicultural life, where language learning has been at the heart of it. While studying Hispanic Literature, I started working as a Spanish teacher and have never looked back. I believe in a communicative approach where students are at the centre of the class, and my role is to create opportunities for them to speak, interact and build confidence. I like keeping my classes practical, engaging and, above all, focused on communication.
