Jonathan Davies – TEACHER TRAINER
Jon, originally from Exeter in England, has been involved in language teaching since 1991. He graduated from Middlesex University in London with an Honours degree in French and Spanish with modules in TEFL, following this with a PGCE in Modern Languages and TEFL in 1994. After teaching in Bilbao, Toulouse and Oporto, he moved to Barcelona in 1995 to teach at the British Council Young Learners' Centre, developing an expertise in Classroom Management for children and adolescents, about which he has written articles and given presentations.
Over ten years later, he believes that it is important for teacher trainers not to "lose touch", so continues to teach English at the two main Universities in Barcelona, as well as at the University of Exeter in the summers.
