I have been teaching children of all ages for 30 years. The main methodology I have been using in my teaching is Project Based Learning ( PBL), and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). For the last few years I have incorporated SDGs in the school curriculum and have been conducting my lessons according to these goals.

My main goal as a teacher is to raise a future generation of globally responsible citizens taking care of their planet in hand.
