This is a transdisciplinary space.
Whether you are learning Spanish, teaching a language as a foreign language, or simply on a journey of self-discovery and growth, my work combines elements of coaching, mentoring, and counselling to enhance your learning.
As Cicero said, “Everything is alive. Everything is interconnected.” That’s why my educational work is based on these four pillars below:
Authenticity comes from self-knowledge and self-awareness. It is related to a deep understanding of your individuality and identity, which are alive and changing all the time.
Confidence is rooted in self-efficacy, that is, the belief one has about their own capabilities to execute or accomplish something. This is deeply interconnected with your personal history, past experiences and passed on beliefs.
Emotional intelligence is based on four pillars: self-awareness, which is the ability to recognise and understand one’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions; self-regulation, which is the ability to choose how to respond; empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings; and social responsibility, which is the ability to understand that our actions impact others and that we should act in a way that benefits society (the collective) and avoids causing harm.
Mental health is supported by emotional intelligence. Having strong emotional abilities leads to fewer mental health issues. On the other hand, past trauma or ill mental health impacts negatively the development of emotional intelligence.
"Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent or gradual." – Jean Piaget
