Damian D.

Apart from having more than 30 years of experience teaching at Bilingual Schools and delivering tailored made in-company courses, I'm also a tennis and padel coach. For the last 10 years I've had the pleasure of enjoying my passions, teaching a language and being a sports trainer.

As a language teacher, I have taught at schools for more than 30 years in Primary and Secondary levels. During all these years I have developed myself as a Language and Literature teacher getting my students prepared to sit for different International Exams (Cambridge English Qualifications and Cambridge Assessment International Education).
Parallelly, I have taught in-company and online, tailor made courses for adults. In this case, due to the students' needs, classes were mainly grammar oriented or focused on developing the necessary skills for communicative purposes.

Since I strongly believe in teaching student-centred classes, I think I could define myself as an eclectic teacher. What I mean to say by this is that, although every lesson should be carefully planned, that planning -many times- is to be reviewed and modified while the lesson is in progress.
My language teaching profile is that of a teacher who firmly places active communication and students' needs in first place. I say this because if students, regardless their age, do not feel self-assured, they will never find themselves in an enhancing teaching-learning environment.
