Meet the Team
I grew up in a farm in a tiny village in the region of Castilla y Leon, North Spain…one of those magical places where you can easily forget time and enjoy the tranquility and peace of your surroundings.
Although my dream was always to teach languages, I opted for a Business Studies degree in the University of Valladolid. During my last year at university, I was very lucky to be granted an Erasmus grant to live and study in the UK, an experience I loved! So much so that I never moved back home.
After working for a British bank for a couple of years I finally decided to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher and completed a PGCE (Spanish and French) in the University of Leeds.
Before coming to Kuwait I worked in both Primary and Secondary schools across the UK.
I love my profession as I get the opportunity to interact with an immense variety of cultures, backgrounds and personalities. I also find very rewarding seeing the progress my students make in their language skills.

Irene Carballo
Spanish Instructor
I obtained my BA degree in English Language Teaching in Turkey where I was born and raised. I am about to complete my master’s degree in the same field at the University of Exeter, UK. Having taught English at different levels in different contexts for over a decade, this year I have got the exciting opportunity of teaching my native language Turkish in Lingua Plus. Before moving to Kuwait in 2014, I attended several courses in Europe through Erasmus+ Projects such as language assistantship in Belgium and in-service training courses in Ireland and England. I am currently working hard on learning standard Arabic in Kuwait and enthusiastic about teaching Turkish. I like travelling and reading.
