English as a Foreign Language Teacher
Merit School - Barcelona
As an EFL teacher for Merit School my work was centred on preparing students for Cambridge language exams. At IH this required me to work with older teenagers who were taking their FCE (B2) exam, and at Merit I worked with adults taking their FCE, CAE (C1) and CPE (C2) aswell as another class of teenagers taking their CAE. Whilst I only worked for IH until the end of the 2014-2015 academic year, my work with Merit continued until I left Barcelona in July 2016. Although I didn't prepare students for any IELTS or TOEFL my time teaching these classes certainly professionally prepared me for teaching to an exam syllabus and ensuring thats students feel confident in their ability to pass exams.

Berlitz/UIMP - La Coruna and Santander
Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo is a private University which offers intensive courses to Spanish University students in conjunction with Berlitz. The course is a week long, during which students take forty five hours of immersion classes and activities, as well as attending teacher led social events in the evenings. The classes are theme based – education, social life, careers – and are used to draw out language which prepares students for the possibility of life in the UK. For example, in the careers classes I would work on CV writing and interview techinique. Interview technique was practised through discussion, planning of roleplays, performance and feedback from myself and peers, and C.Vs were worked on in a similar manner. In Santander. I taught another immersion course – this time working with students of the Social Sciences. As with the previous course this was made up of theme based classes, focusing on writing, research and discussion skills in these cases.
