Hi, I'm Sam, I'm an English teacher based in Catalonia, Spain. I've been teaching since 2010 when I got back from Africa where I lived for seven years managing projects for different NGO's as a volunteer. Now I'm a DoS at a small language school and work as a teacher trainer and language coach for Ensenyament from time to time. I am also an Assessment Specialist, as well as a Speaking and Writing examiner for Cambridge Assessment. I  also tutor MA and DIP students on their projects. In my free time, I love to research and investigate new trends in ELT and experiment with methods and approaches in my lessons, and am especially interested in the cognitive aspect of learning. I also dabble in cooking :) When I'm not working, I disconnect by going some place on my motorbike or scuba diving. I'm not an adrenaline junkie, ha; but I do like adventurous activities and trying new things. Hiking is one of my all-time favourites, and I'll happily go alone if needed.
