The first week in Valencia has flown by! St Juan, Jesuitas is a big school with over 2000 pupils, and would be imposing if not for the friendly and welcoming staff and pupils. I have taught a number of lessons, assisted the staff and made friends in a short period of time. The workload is reasonable and there is time to prepare. For the most part I have been working within the syllabus as the students are preparing for upcoming exams and there is a requirement to cover the relevant material. However there is room for creativity and applying CELTA and UKLC techniques to liven things up.
Outside of teaching we have enjoyed a team-building activity in the form of an escape room experience which was great fun. Valencia itself is an amazing city; we are 20 minutes walk from the beach and the food,culture and weather is fabulous.
I am looking forward to developing my teaching practice and exploring this amazing city during the coming weeks.
