¡Hola!

I'm Erica and I'm from Motril, Granada. I am Head of Languages at a secondary school in West Yorkshire. I teach Spanish at A-Level, French at GCSE, and German at KS3. I am passionate about languages, building positive relationships with students, and enhancing engagement.

I hold a BA in English Studies and an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Granada. I also spent a year studying at Nottingham University. In 2010, I moved to the UK and worked as a language assistant in various schools across the country. In 2015, I qualified as an MFL Teacher at the University of Reading.

I have extensive expertise in pedagogy and educational practice, particularly in language learning. As the MFL Careers Lead at my previous school, I developed tailored resources to promote careers among students. I also delivered training on effective teaching strategies and student engagement, and provided mentorship to both new and experienced staff.

I have collaborated with the BBC and currently review for them. I am certified in 'Leading Teacher Development' from the NPQ program. I have ve translated for the "Diego Maradona" documentary, created Spanish content for Newsdle, and been an AQA writing examiner. I have also presented webinars for @Linguascope and acted as a stationery Ambassador for Paperchase & Under the Rowan Trees.
