Educational Consultancy

Consultancy, Curriculum Planning, and Pedagogical Materials Development

​For specialised language programmes

​

I work with institutions, language programmes and teaching teams to design courses, develop pedagogical materials and strengthen communicative language teaching practices.

​

My work combines teacher training, curriculum design and materials development, with a particular focus on oracy, professional communication and language learning for specific purposes.

​

Projects are always tailored to the needs of the institution, programme or team, and may involve consultancy, workshops, mentoring or longer-term collaboration.

Curriculum Design & Programme Development

Designing coherent language programmes for specific contexts

​

I support institutions and organisations in designing or refining language programmes that respond to clearly defined communicative goals. This may include needs analysis, curriculum planning and the structuring of learning pathways for professional or institutional settings.

​

Examples of projects include:

​

• drafting a Spanish communication compendium for diplomatic administrative staff, based on real consular situations

• designing language programmes for professionals preparing for international postings

• structuring task-based intensive courses focused on workplace communication

• supporting institutions in aligning language teaching with professional communication needs
   

The aim is to create programmes that combine linguistic rigour with practical communicative outcomes.

Specialised Intensive Workshops

Short, focused training for specific communication needs

​

These short workshops are designed to address particular linguistic or communicative challenges in a concentrated format. They are especially useful for professionals or teams preparing for specific events, projects or assignments.

​

Workshops may focus on areas such as:

​

• spoken fluency and confidence in professional contexts

• presenting and negotiating in a second language

• managing meetings and discussions in multilingual environments

• sector-specific terminology and communicative routines

• preparation for international assignments or missions
   

Sessions are practical and interactive, with participants working directly on the types of communication situations they encounter in their professional lives.

Teacher Training

Professional development for language teachers and educators

I offer teacher training and professional development for teachers working in English, Spanish and Italian, with a focus on thoughtful pedagogy, real communication and reflective practice.

Training can take the form of workshops, short courses, mentoring or consultancy, and may address areas such as:

​

• designing courses for specific professional purposes

• developing speaking and oracy-focused classroom practices

• creating communicative tasks and role-plays

• adapting materials for institutional or professional contexts

• integrating intercultural awareness into language teaching

• reflective practice and lesson observation
   

Sessions combine practical tools with reflective discussion, supporting teachers in developing confident and sustainable teaching practices.

Materials Design

Developing pedagogical resources for real communication

​

I collaborate with institutions and teaching teams to design materials that respond to specific learning contexts and communicative needs.

​

This may include:

​

• developing task-based course units and role-play scenarios

• creating materials for professional language programmes

• designing structured resources for speaking and interaction in the classroom

• adapting existing materials for institutional training programmes
   

A recent example includes the development of a Spanish communication compendium for diplomatic administrative staff, built around real-life consular situations such as managing budgets, interacting with banks, coordinating with local authorities and assisting citizens.

​

The focus is always on materials that are clear, adaptable and directly usable in the classroom.

Teacher Observation & Coaching

Supporting professional reflection and classroom development

​

Observation and coaching sessions provide teachers with structured opportunities to reflect on their teaching practice and refine their classroom approach.

​

Sessions may include:

​

• classroom observation

• structured feedback and discussion

• collaborative lesson planning

• guidance on classroom interaction and questioning techniques

• support in developing communicative and task-based activities
   

The goal is to create a constructive and collegial space for professional reflection, helping teachers strengthen their practice while maintaining their own teaching style.
