Social intelligence is all about understanding and responding to others' feelings, which helps build strong relationships. It can make children more empathetic, better communicators, and problem solvers.

Welcome to my blog! I'm Carlos, a passionate primary school teacher with extensive experience in various year groups. I have worked as a maths tutor in Spain, covering all age groups from reception to A levels.
I have a deep love for teaching theories and a strong appreciation for classic pedagogues. While I value innovation in education, I believe in giving time to implemented approaches to assess their effectiveness. For me, meaningful learning and social mobility take precedence over school data and personal career advancement. I am dedicated to helping children learn and grow, preparing them for a happy and fulfilling life.
Originally from Madrid, Spain, I pursued my teaching dream in the UK, where I have been based in Berkshire for the past 10 years. I have also gained valuable experience in international schools, including Alexandria, Egypt.
Join me on this educational journey as we explore insightful topics, share practical strategies, and create a positive and nurturing learning environment for our young learners. Let's inspire and empower the next generation together!
