Elena Castro Manrique

(ESPAÑOL ABAJO)
I have over 10 years' experience teaching students of many different nationalities, backgrounds, and levels. During this time, I've worked in schools in Ireland and Spain and I have also prepared students for Cambridge ESOL examinations.

In addition, since the pandemic, I have also taught English online to groups and individuals. Despite the challenging circumstances, this experience allowed me to improve my online teaching skills, understand how to deliver a positive learning experience using slides and online learning tools and promote autonomous learning through homework and additional resources.


I am TEFL qualified and in my classes I follow mainly the Communicative Approach and always prepare lessons that cater to my students' needs and interests and consider their individual characteristics and learning abilities.

I am very responsible, sociable, and organised, and I find it easy to build a good rapport with my students.

Profesora con más de diez años de experiencia con alumnado de diferentes niveles, nacionalidades y contextos académicos. Me formé como docente en Dublín donde trabajé como profesora de inglés en varias escuelas. Tengo amplia experiencia preparando estudiantes para exámenes oficiales como FCE, CAE y IELTS.

En mis clases utilizo el método comunicativo en combinación con otros enfoques como Aprendizaje por Tareas, CLIL o TPR siempre con el objetivo de adaptar las clases a las necesidades e intereses del alumnado y atender a las características individuales de cada estudiante.
