IES Don Pelayo
Language Assistant
October 2024 - Today (1 year and 8 months)
Madrid, Spain
I worked as a Language Assistant through the British Council, supporting English-language education in a Spanish secondary school environment.
My role focused on improving students’ English through group conversation sessions, grammar and pronunciation practice, cultural exhacnge lectures and confidence-building activities tailored to teenage learners.
I collaborated closely with teaching staff to adapt materials to students’ levels and cultural context, often moving beyond textbook content to encourage debate, critical thinking, and real-world communication.
This role strengthened my skills in bilingual communication, lesson planning, and cross-cultural collaboration, while reinforcing my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and adapt my approach to different learning styles.

TRAVEL AND TOURISM

Alicante, Spain
As a volunteer Assistant Museum Guide at the Refugios Antiaéreos Museum in Alicante, I supported guided tours of Spanish Civil War air-raid shelters for both local and international visitors.
I helped explain historical context clearly and sensitively, often translating or clarifying information for English-speaking guests.
The role required strong communication skills, cultural awareness, and the ability to engage visitors with complex historical material in an accessible way.
This experience strengthened my public-speaking confidence, bilingual communication abilities, and interest in history and journalism, while giving me hands-on experience in educational and cultural heritage settings.
