ÉSTE ES NUESTRO AUXILIAR DE CONVERSACIÓN: BEN

Hello, my name is Ben and I am the English teaching assistant here at Serrano Clavero for fifth and sixth grade. A little bit about me: I am 28 years old and am from the United States. I live in a city called Seattle. It is in the state of Washington, which is in the northwest of the United States. Before coming to Spain, my most recent job was teaching golf and tennis. During the school year I would teach before and after school. In the summer, I did summer camps with the kids. The children's ages ranged from about 6-11 years old. Before that, I had a job in sales at a start up, technology company. And before that I had a few jobs in the sports industry. I worked in sales for a basketball team and a soccer team. I have had a very wide array of jobs!

I chose to come to Spain for a few reasons. I really like the lifestyle of the Spanish people. In the United States, the mindset is that you need to work all the time to be successful. Vacation days are much harder to come by. Here in Spain, people seem to take life a little less seriously and enjoy the things they have. I really like that. Of course, I also want to improve my Spanish!

I have had an amazing time so far and look forward to spending more time with the great kids at Serrano Clavero.
