About Me: Teacher of English, educator and academic coordinator in ELT with experience in the area of course design and teacher development.

A committed and multifaceted professional, with a comprehensive educational background, constantly seeking professional and personal development. As a member of a team, can make significant contributions both at concept and operational levels, which are at the same time creative and sound. Committed to the pursuit of innovative solutions that can be supported by well-founded reasoning and in-depth research.

Recently has undertaken professional development courses in the areas of (1) Non Violent Communication (NVC) - communication strategies focusing on the development of healthier communication processes, leading to more empathic, creative and satisfying outcomes for the parties involved - and (2) Mediated Learning strategies based on Feuerstein’s Programme of Instrumental Enrichment (IE) designed with a view to promote and enhance cognitive strategies, develop critical thinking skills and the ability to learn how to learn.

I have a passion for education and I believe that the best way to make a difference in the world today is by contributing to the development of skills and strategies that may help people become more autonomous learners and develop the appropriate attitude and awareness to fulfill their true potential and build up more harmonious and collaborative connections with others at personal, professional and intercultural levels, paving the steps towards a culture of peace.
