I have lived abroad for more years than in my home town Barcelona, because I have always enjoyed travelling and getting to know different cultures. I currently teach Spanish and Catalan, my mother tongues, to adults and university students. I also speak Italian, English and some French. My pending subject is to learn Arabic. However, my passion is art history, especially 19th century sculpture. I have also worked as an exhibition curator in some Catalan museums. So, if I'm not in class, you'll find me in a museum or exhibition. In this sense, London is a jewel. For all these reasons, I love to prepare courses in which I can combine my interest in teaching languages with my interest in art history.
