My name is Yosua and, although I am from Edinburgh, I have been living in Spain for many years (my mother is British and my father is Spanish). I'm completely bilingual, and I have a 5-year degree in Sociology (University of Granada, Spain). Furthermore, I studied for one year in Bucharest, Romania, thanks to an ERASMUS grant. Moreover, I have obtained a Qualifi Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (The TEFL Academy) (RQF). I have worked in an English academy in Spain for the last 8 years, preparing my students of all ages for Cambridge official exams (levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1 [CEFR]). Additionally, I do freelance translations and transcriptions in my free time.

Languages are my passion and my career, even though my studies are in sociology. I love debates and reading, especially if it's with a good dose of humour! I am lucky enough to have been born into a culturally rich (if economically poor) family, in a house with no electricity, so I had to read. It's funny, I remember I would read anything I could get my hands on! No matter if it was English or Spanish. At the time, I wasn't too happy about not having a TV, but that lifestyle set me on a path; a path that would lead me to sociology and languages.

Apart from that, my parents are artisans (they work with leather and silver) and we used to travel around Europe – especially Spain, France, England, and Scotland. We would combine travelling and selling at different events. This gave me the chance to learn a lot about different cultures and ways of communicating. That's why I really think I have a strong grip on English and Spanish. I will strive to improve by working hard and contributing with the knowledge I have.
