Dana Porter
Hola! I’m Miss Dana, a native speaker of Spanish. I grew up in South America but moved to the United Kingdom when I was a teenager and adopted the United Kingdom as my new home. I have a really diverse British educational background, having spent two years studying Business Administration, four years studying Molecular Biology and two years studying to become a teacher. I’ve been an educator for 16 years and out of those, I have spent 10 years in Qatar teaching Grades 6 to 12.
One of my biggest passions is travelling, before I travel to new countries, I always make sure to learn a few words in the local language. I listen and observe carefully how the native speakers communicate among themselves, and then try to use what I’ve learned from them in my everyday dealings whilst visiting the country. Learning a different language is really fun, especially when you are abroad.
I hope by joining this course, you can learn some Spanish and have fun too.
Hasta la vista!
Miss Dana
