Iris Serra, MA.
Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, Iris has known that she wanted to be a teacher since she was a little girl. When she turned 17 she went to live in London in order to understand the processes of language acquisition and to be able to empathize with students going through the language learning process. After London, she returned to the University of Barcelona for her BA in Philology and Second Language Acquisition, followed by her TESOL certification with Costa Rica TEFL and her Master’s in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language with a postgraduate certificate in Digital Learning from the EDECA Center for Postgraduate Studies. Iris has taught since 2012, first at children’s language classes in Spain, then teaching Spanish as a Second Language to adults and children with Intercultura Costa Rica. Iris is known for her friendly, proactive and outgoing personality, and in her free time she likes reading, surfing and exercising.
