If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, I can help. I offer workshops for language departments, designed to inspire and equip you with practical ideas to support your students in becoming more skilled and self-assured learners. You will gain useful insights and hands-on techniques that can be easily applied in your lessons.
Below are two examples of the workshops I offer, which have received great feedback from participants over the years:
1. Empower Your Students: Teach Them Language Learner Strategies. In this workshop, you will learn how to help your students use strategies that make their learning process better and more successful. We will look at why these strategies are important, the different types, and the best teaching methods. You will also see a proven four-step framework that I have used successfully in classrooms for many years and review real student feedback and examples of their work.
2. Design with Confidence: Language Learner Strategies in the Language Curriculum. In this hands-on workshop, I will show you how to easily include language learner strategies in your curriculum. We will discuss effective ways to design syllabuses, activities, and materials that work well. You will also get guidance on creating your own classroom materials and activities that fit your teaching needs.

María is a wonderfully engaging trainer and the two sessions she has delivered for us had the right mix of theoretical framework, practical demonstrations and anecdotes drawn from her own experience. The simplicity of her method makes it easy to implement and so to yield the best results for both students and tutors.
