Personal Statement

Hi, my name's Ida. I really enjoy traveling and learning languages. I've been learning languages for more than 15 years including English, Italian, German, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and others. I have traveled to some places in Europe, Asia, and America. I really love Japan, Korean and Hong Kong's culture, history, and politics. I've taken a 240-hour specialization in Asia culture, politics, history, and religion: East and Southeast Asia, Middle East, and ASEAN. Among my hobbies are reading, swimming, and water sports. I have a B.A. in Modern Languages, Italian, and Literature with a specialization in Linguistics and Translation from UNAM National Autonomous University of Mexico 2014-2019 I possess a CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Cambridge 2020. During this 120-hour course, I learned lesson planning, teaching materials creation, assessment, and the appropriate use of Zoom for teaching individuals and groups. From 2020-2022 I took DIAPELE (Advanced Diploma in Teaching Spanish for Foreigners by UNAM National Autonomous University of Mexico. During this 260-hour course, I had real practice with students from different countries and I learned teaching methodology, linguistics, communication, culture, and evaluation. That means that I'm prepared to teach culture and history from Mexico, and I can choose the best approach to teach each student according to their own needs and level. I have experience teaching online and face-to-face students of different ages: kids, teenagers, and adults. I also have experience teaching different specialized courses, such as Medical Spanish, Business English, DELE, SIELE, IELTS preparation, kids' lessons, culture, and history.
