Monica Vila-Parcerisa

TEACHER OF SPANISH

About

A speaker of 6 languages: Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Italian and Occitan, Monica has a breadth of linguistic expertise to bring to her teaching. She’s a passionate teacher and has worked with students of all ages online and face to face. She says she likes to make the learning fun without losing the academic rigour. Our students will testify to that.

Monica is also an online aficionado having obtained her bachelor’s degree online at the the first university in the world to offer online only education (UOC – Universitat Oberta de Catalunya). After completing her Masters and other education qualifications Monica’s been living and teaching in England for many years – but still returns to her beautiful country of Spain at least once a year.

When Monica’s not teaching, she loves skiing and walking and is pretty accomplished – in 2012 crossing the Pyrenees from the Mediterranean to the Cantabrian Sea in 42 days walking 850 km and climbing (and descending) a total of 40,000 m. She’s also crossed all of Slovenia on foot. And apart from that she has a lot of fun participating in and teaching others folk dancing.
