I’m Claudia Santoro, the Claudins teacher
When I was 8 years old, I started studying my first foreign language, and that’s how I discovered that other languages and other worlds existed. This is how I became passionate about languages and it was clear to me that I wanted to dedicate my life to teaching languages. After that, I got into literature (Italian and Spanish) where I loved to find the differences and similarities between the two cultures and languages. Fast forward a few years and here I am, sharing my knowledge with my students, always looking further for diversities and similarities.
My road
I graduated in Spanish Language and Literature in Italy and then I trained as Italian and Spanish as a foreign language teacher through numerous courses and seminars. After living in Madrid and Valencia, I have moved to Barcelona in 2012. I keep growing, evolving, and moving. I often work with expats and being myself a foreigner living in Spain, I am very sympathetic and I share the same concerns as my students. At the same time, as a native Italian teacher, I feel that I am an ambassador for my native culture. This is why I follow contemporary culture very closely, and I share it with my students in the most authentic way possible.
