Hi! My name is Irene and I\u2019m from the south of Spain, from Andalusia, more specifically, from the land of <\/span>salmorejo<\/span><\/i>. Does that ring a bell? Exactly, C\u00f3rdoba! For me, C\u00f3rdoba means flowers in May, desert-like heat in summer, and a monumental city all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

I studied Translation and Interpreting at the University of C\u00f3rdoba, and I\u2019ve always been passionate about language teaching \u2014 even before finishing my degree. That passion eventually brought me to Vienna. I spent two school years working as a Spanish teaching assistant in different schools across the city. The experience was so inspiring that I decided to continue my training in the field of language education. \n<\/p>\n\n

I love travelling, reading, hiking and practising yoga. And what does yoga have to do with teaching Spanish? Quite a lot: focus, enjoyment and continuous practice, in this case, of your Spanish. In my classes I aim for dynamism and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. When my students have fun, so do I; time flies and the motivation to keep learning stays strong. \n<\/p>\n\n

A phrase I truly believe in: \u201cA teacher\u2019s enthusiasm sparks the students\u2019 enthusiasm\u201d. \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
