Auxiliares de conversación curso 2023/24

Name: Lizzette Torres

I am from New York City, U.S. I came to Spain because after studying abroad in Italy and I knew I wanted the experience of living abroad again and was already familiar with the Spanish language. Teaching English seemed like a great opportunity to experience cultural exchange, travel, gain confidence with public speaking and other soft skills. I also attended bilingual school growing up, and really believe in the importance of learning more than one language in this globalized world that we live in.

I love to meet people from all over the world, and you can always find me out and about whether I am going to an art exhibit, pilates or going out to try a new restaurant. I love living in Madrid because there is always something to do just like my hometown of New York. Im at Colegio Montserrat because the school sounded like the right fit for me and I really love that its a small school because I find that I work better in smaller environments in which I can really get to know my students well and the staff that make the school such a lovely place. I hope to peak my students interest in language learning and that they gain the curiosity just like I have of getting to learn about another culture that they may not be as familiar with. I hope to do this through games, songs, and project based learning so that students can see that learning a new language can be both fun and rewarding. I look forward to meeting all of you and what this school year will bring. 

My name is Asa, I’m from the state of Vermont in the USA. I’ve been living in Madrid for nine years, working as an English language assistant in various schools around the community. I studied Psychology and Spanish literature in university, and I also know French and a tiny bit of German. Currently, I’m learning Chinese as well! I love playing board games, cooking, and watching TV series, and am passionate about literature and the arts. I love living in Spain and am so excited to work at Colegio Montserrat!

As a teacher my strengths are in a strong foundation with grammar and vocabulary, as well as developing writing skills and study habits. I love playing games that engage students’ speaking skills and strategic minds. I’m quite extroverted, so I always try to bring positive energy to the classroom!
