A description of an ESOL class focusing on preparing candidates for the Life in the UK test
In this ESOL class, I will be preparing students for the Life in the UK test, which is a requirement for those seeking British citizenship or settlement. The class will begin with an overview of the test format, including the types of questions and topics covered.
The curriculum will be structured around the key content areas of the test, such as British history, traditions, customs, and the political system. Each lesson will focus on a specific topic, with interactive activities designed to help students understand and retain the information. For example, a lesson on British history might include a timeline exercise, where students match significant events with their corresponding dates and discuss their importance.
To enhance understanding and engagement, I will use a variety of teaching methods, including group discussions, multimedia presentations, and role-playing scenarios. These activities not only make the learning process enjoyable but also help students develop their speaking and listening skills, which are crucial for the test.
Additionally, the class will include practice tests and quizzes to assess students' progress and identify areas where they may need further support. I will provide tips and strategies for effective test-taking, such as time management and how to handle multiple-choice questions.
Throughout the course, I will create a supportive and inclusive learning environment, encouraging students to ask questions and share their experiences. By the end of the class, students will feel confident and well-prepared to take the Life in the UK test, with a deeper understanding of British culture and society.

Coaching and Somatic Therapy helps you integrate your emotions and thoughts into a body-connected approach.Somatic Coaching sessions address the felt experience of the body, its movement pattern and alignment in connection with thought and emotional patterns.
Through the body, you will learn to regulate your nervous system, being able to create a greater habit of connection with yourself and your environment, being able to create more harmonious responses with yourself, reducing a reactive and stressful state.
In the sessions we will work on the blockages that make it difficult for you to achieve your goals and the change and horizon through your body and how the body represents this state and feels the blockages.
Through this embodied emotional and psychological integration, you will be surprised at how any change is much easier than you had thought. You will gain a safe space within yourself, where integrating emotions, blockages and trauma moves into your tolerance zone.
In the sessions you will learn tools to improve your self-esteem, confidence and manage stress and anxiety in a very practical and personal way.
I specifically work on the following somatizations: #insomnia, #stress, #anxiety, #chronic pain, #confidence, #fear of public speaking, #bruxism, #traumas

Homework Help & Organizing Workload for Less Stress from an International Student-TeacherSchools always give a lot of homework for students to do at home. This might lead to some children struggling with managing the homework, doing the homework or organizing their workload. Furthermore, parents do not always have the time to work on this. Admittedly, this is not an easy task and takes a lot of discipline from the student and not being able to do it often takes a toll on the students' mental well-being and their grades at school.
I want to help the students foster that discipline and learn ways to manage and organize all the work that is expected of them. The courses would start with regular help with their homework and just spending time with them working on things, and the faster they improve the more I can teach them skills and tricks they can use to organize their workload and do it all on their own!
I have teaching experience in international schools in Qatar, Italy and the US with students in middle school and high school, having taught the American curriculum and the International Baccalaureates curriculum. Having taught so many different students, from different cultures and families, I have had my share of experience in terms of homework.
Thank you for your time :)

Communication and understanding of the Spanish languageThe Spanish language, Castilian, Hispanic or however it is better known, has become, over time, one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. As a result of the massive exodus of Spanish speakers around the world, many native speakers of this language have had various opportunities to provide knowledge, not to mention that the internet has allowed a rich cultural exchange, in which everyone wants to know, at least a little of the Spanish and Latin American culture.
In this course you will not only learn about Spanish, its reading and pronunciation, but we will give a special focus to learn about cinema, music and literature in this wonderful language that so many people in the world want to know.
