Ba. Hons. in Leisure and Sport Management for University of Wales Institute Cardiff. English Teacher with TEFL qualification from BSY Group. Qualified football coach UEFA level 2 from Irish Football Association. Actually I am working as an English teacher for kids and adults, and also as a football coach for kids. I am hard-working, well organised, responsible and equally efficient at working both as part of a team or individually through my experiences in coaching jobs and other areas such as being a leader in relation to Youth Projects. These different scenarios have also allowed me to be a good communicator and to respect fellow workers and to conduct myself in the appropriate manner when working with children and young adults. I have a advanced level of Spanish, and I like to know different cultures and I can adapt easily to other experiences of work and life. In this moment I am continuing to further myself by studying courses in Yoga.
