Andrea Cortina

October 2012


¡Hola! I’m Andrea from Bilbao, in the north of Spain!

I have a 4-year degree in Spanish Studies from the University of Deusto, which covered linguistics, literature, grammar and the history of the Spanish language and I later qualified as a teacher of Spanish as a Foreign Language.

I am an official DELE examiner (awarded by Institute Cervantes, London) for levels A1 to C2.

Since joining Vamos in September 2012, I became part of the academic department where my responsibilities included the recruitment and training of new teachers.

I am now the school’s Director of Studies.

My teaching style places particular emphasis on the communicative approach and I always want my students to get the most out of their lesson.

I love teaching so much that it hardly feels like a job and so I hope you too enjoy your course at ¡Vamos!
