About Beatriz Lupiano

I'm a teacher of English as a Foreign Language with a background in linguistics and literature studies. I'm a native speaker of Spanish and apart from teaching enjoy reading and writing, languages and learning new things. I can also speak Italian (intermediate), German (basic) and I've just begun to learn Dutch online.
