    ENGLISH FOR WORKING SKILLS:

    I worked as a recruiter for the arts and heritage sector for 8 years in London. During this time I recruited for all sorts of people including:

    - Front-of-house teams
    - All levels of administration
    - Education and outreach specialists
    - Graphic, exhibition and digital designers
    - Event managers
    - Head of Department for the museums and galleries
    - Conservators and stonemasons
    - Gallery technicians
    - Membership sales teams
    - Marketing staff
    - Curatorial staff
    - Tour guides
    - and many others

    This has led me to have a vast amount of knowledge about how the arts sector works in the UK as well as a true understanding of what employers everywhere are looking for.

    During my 8 years as a recruiter, I helped hundreds of candidates with their CV ́s, portfolio ́s, presentations and interview preparation. Although I specialized in the arts, from time to time I was also asked to recruit for other companies that were not in the arts sector.

    All of this knowledge is transferable into different industries, and I am more than happy to help you are looking for guidance on how to work in the UK and/or are preparing for an important interview in English in which you would like to have some help with. Moreover, the job you might be looking for does not have to be in the UK, it can be in any country, the main point is that English is the working language and you need to prepare for it.

    I have helped many private clients from all over the world fwith their working skills. I have also taught intensive Business and Leadership courses at the world famous international school St Clare ́s Oxford, in the UK in which I have taught students about different management styles, product presentations and business plan writing.

    Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding your specific situation and she will be happy to answer.

    Extra information

    I only work with adults.

    I mainly teach online but I can also teach face-to-face in the Málaga, Spain area.

    Please note any lessons that a student cancels with less than 24 hours notice will be charged for the total amount of the lesson.

    About Me

    Hi, my name is Ana. Over the last 22 years the majority of my professional career has involved working directly and indirectly with the arts and languages. I have lived and worked in Italy, Norway and the UK, and I am currently living and working in Spain which is where I was born.

    My mother is English and my father is Spanish, I was spoken to in both languages from the day I was born and therefore I am fully bilingual. I also speak a little bit of French and basic Italian. Moreover, I have often worked as an English and Spanish translator and interpreter. This means that when I am teaching I can often relate to the struggles students might have when learning the language. It also means, that if there is a word that they simply can't understand, I will be able to translate it for them into their mother tongue (but this is only in extreme cases).

    I have taught English and Spanish for many years, helping people who were looking to improve their language skills for personal and professional reasons. In 2016, I did a CELTA course (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in order to travel and be able to teach in other countries. I have since then acquired a lot of experience teaching languages for general, business, specific use and exam preparation for adults.

    I like to teach those people who want something different, who take their studies seriously and don't only want to learn a language, but they also want to learn about themselves as a human being.
