Ms Lorena

I have been working for about eleven years, in Colombia as an English teacher and in Russia as a Spanish teacher.

I am a teacher because I strongly believe in the power of education to drive social change and development. I have been teaching languages because I am passionate about cultural features and how they can shape the way students perceive the world around them. Listening to students is key to identifying the most effective path for their learning process.

Received two scholarships for my Master’s degree in Russia, Awarded a Red Diploma for excellence in the Master’s programme in Critical Media, Studies at the Higher School of Economics

I am proud of being authentic wherever I go. I have achieved most of my life goals through discipline and dedication, which has profoundly shaped who I am today.

I love dancing and practiced Salsa for about six years. I am passionate about movement and learning about the body’s capabilities. The most memorable travel experience for me has been living in Russia, the first country (aside from my native one) where I lived abroad. I love travelling and am now dedicated to exploring Asia.

I aim to become a recognised academic in the field of Discourse Analysis while continuing to teach.
