Unfortunately this year no public school in Andalucía receives language assistants due to some political issues. The educational community expects this problem to be solved for the next academic year.
Last year we did enjoy working with two English language assistants: Amanda Evans and Olivia Wells, both from the UK. Here you have some information about them.
Este año, debido a algunas cuestiones políticas, ningún centro educativo público de Andalucía cuenta con auxiliares de conversación. Confíamos que el curso próximo se haya solucionado este problema.
El curso pasado pudimos disfrutar del trabajo con dos auxiliares de conversación: Amanda Evans y Olivia Wells, ambas de Reino Unido. Aquí tenéis información sobre ellas.
Hello everybody!
My name is Mandy, and I will be your language assistant this year. I m from a beautiful seaside town in south Wales called Tenby, but from the age of 6 years old I have lived in Manchester. I don’t have any English family because my dad was Welsh and my mother is Scottish. I studied Modern Languages at Edinburgh University.
I live with my Little Border Collie, called Pollie. We love to go for long walks, and she loves to swim in rivers, lakes or the sea… she just loves water! I love to travel, and to relax I enjoy Reading, listening to music (Stereophonics are my favourite) and watching both rugby and football. Living in Manchester I can see the best team in the world, MANCHESTER CITY!
Fun Fact: I lived in Córdoba many years agio, in Villanueva del Rey, because I had a Spanish boyfriend who I met on holiday in Menorca! We are still frinds, and I visit the family often. So, I am very happy to be back in one of my favourite places in the world!
I am very excited to meet you all, so see you soon!
Hello everyone!
My name is Olivia, I am 20 years old and I am from a town called Darlington in the North East of England. I study Spanish and Italian with TESOL (Enseñanza de inglés a extranjeros) at Sheffield Hallam university and I have just returned from my study abroad in Trento, Italy. I have been studying Spanish for around 7 years but I have never actually visited the country!
Some facts about myself are that I play the piano and I enjoy going to the gym. I love exploring new places and travelling with my friends and family, especially sunny places as the UK is always wet and cold! I also like going to the cinema and listening to music, I enjoy listening to all types of music.
Last year I spent 3 weeks as a teaching assistant in the secondary school that I atended when I was younger. I assisted in Spanish clases of students from 12 to 15 years old which helped massively with my teaching experience.
I am very excited to be working at IES Trassierra and I can’t wait to meet and get to know everyone. See you all son!
