I have spent the last year living in Spain working as a language assistant in a primary school with ages 6-12, teaching natural and social science curriculum in English. Predominantly working with the children on vocabulary, speaking and writing. Listening to the children read in large groups and one to one. Whilst living in Spain I stayed with a family with two young children ages 6 and 7 to help with their English language. We spent the afternoons playing and learning new vocabulary to enhance their understanding, interest and language ability. I have further one to one experience working with younger children ages 3 and 4 (during my stay in Spain) playing and speaking in English to enrich a deeper understanding of language ability. I have extensive experience working with and taking care of children having spent around 10 years looking after and enjoying time with my nieces and nephews. Previous experience (2010): work experience as teaching assistant- St Augustines Primary School Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. This included helping teachers prepare for the school day, attending to the children and listening to the children read, providing activities to develop language skills.
