About me

I have many years’ experience teaching Spanish to adult students of various backgrounds, in person and online. I hold a B.A in Hispanic Philology. When I moved to London, in 2010, I completed a Spanish Language Teaching to Adults Programme. After this, I started teaching at Further Education colleges in UK on accredited and non-accredited programmes. In 2019 I started teaching non-degree courses at Royal Holloway University of London, where later I also taught part of some degree courses at all levels.

I joined LSE in 2022 and since then I have been teaching Spanish and society on the non-degree courses at different levels, and on the undergraduate program from 2023.

I studied a Master’s Degree in Linguistics Applied to the Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language at Nebrija University. I focussed my Final Research Project in the areas of Sociolinguistics and Psycholinguistics by analysing constructs of complexity (syntactic and lexical), precision and fluency in the written linguistic production of multilingual language learners in different types of tasks. In addition, I examined the influence of emotions on arguments provided.

I am interested in how L2/L3 learners process information connected to the teaching and assessing their writing and oral discourse, as well as grading and sequencing tasks when creating learning materials.

About the Language Centre

LSE is a centre for the study of the social sciences and this is reflected in its Language Centre.

Our courses focus on language and society, encouraging you to learn how to use language in the contexts you would like to live, study and work in. We teach people to speak languages, but also teach about language (socio-linguistics and intercultural communication) and offer a range of courses on literature and society. 

We offer English for Academic Purposes programmes, BSc programmes a range of undergraduate degree courses that can be taken as part of a degree and a range of language options that can be taken outside of a degree programme. All programmes and courses relate language study and support to the fields of interest of social science students.
