¡Hola!

Thank you for stopping by!

My name is Nelly. I'm a Spanish and meditation teacher who loves writing children's stories. I have published 2 childrens books. 

First of all, I would like to tell you that I absolutely love teaching children! For me it is very important that the children feel free with their learning. I support their creative thinking so my lessons are always a relaxed space where everyone feels valued, happy and inspired. 

I have worked in primary and secondary schools for many years, teaching a wide variety of things. The idea to create My Spanish Hub was born when I saw the children leaving the Spanish lesson full of enthusiasm going around the school teaching others what they had learned. I never felt so fulfilled. Besides teaching online and working in schools I run community Spanish, art and culture workshops.

My qualifications:

Specialisation Diploma Teaching Spanish to children (ELE) 
Journalism studies at the University of Journalism in radio, art, and TV in Mexico City (UNAM).
Honours foundation degree in Art and Design (Art Institute, Bournemouth, UK) 
NVQ in supporting teaching and learning in schools.

About me:

 I was born in Mexico City where I was a professional Journalist and photographer for many years. My work included: newspapers, magazines, National Delegation of Culture Mexico City, TV, Films, and Museums. 

Although I was born in Mexico I have lived in Salisbury, a city in England for many years. Our family is made up of my husband, my son who we have brought up bilingually, and our cat called Pedro who likes eating grapes and avocados.
 I love making piñatas, cooking, and watching films and history documentaries with my family.

My journey as an educator began when my son started school. I fell in love with teaching.  Over the years working in schools I have gained lots of experience not only in teaching an extensive variety of things but teaching to different audiences; different children, cultures, personalities, and needs. Constantly undergoing training ranging from special needs, safeguarding, teaching styles, etc.
 I love learning and improving myself.     

I have many interests, experiences, and skills that I would love to share with the Outschool learners.

My teaching philosophy:

To get the children inspired!
Children learn best when they are happy.
My lessons are planned so the learning is fun and relevant to the children. Each child is an individual and that is what makes the classroom so rich.

My classes provide a relaxed atmosphere where the children feel confident and feel a sense of belonging.

I’m fully committed to making the children's learning a rich and fun experience. I’m always happy to answer any questions from parents or children before enrolling in my classes, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Gracias 

Nelly
