=Welcome!=

This is a space that we will share from now on. I hope it can be useful for both of us, and I guess it will be if you can discover here a helping hand that is always ready to stand for you if you are stuck in your Teaching English career. I created this web because sometimes there is a need to communicate freely with your teachers and authorities, and though there's a good atmosphere and in general people in our institution are open, they run out of time to pay enough attention to your particular needs. I will try to be a link, then. Another reason is that, you may know me from the aisles, but you don't know exactly why I'm there. My responsibilities as an ATP (Ayudante de Trabajos Practicos) are many, different from the labour ATPs at University do, I work for the whole English Department at Lola Mora Institute. One of my tasks includes this approach I should have to students like you, with the purpose of giving some educational support to this career.

So, here I am, if you are looking for some kind of guidance to go back to the track. I promise I'll work hard to try and give a solution to those difficulties you might be encountering right now which deprives you from moving forward.

Let's see what this is all about. I could help you:


 * with your **essays**: checking organization, understanding the outline, reading and checking it for clarity purposes, making sure accuracy is achieved as well as if the vocabulary level used is appropriate.
 * with your **pronunciation**: if you need to give a speech in front of the class, and you have never had the chance to rehearse it in front of other people, I can listen to you and let you know your weak points, so you can work at home and be successful in your speech day.
 * with your **reading materia**l: once you finish reading a book, you should go deeper in the analysis of the piece of writing. This is something not many students do, and it is crucial before sitting for an exam.
 * with **grammar**: it is true that there are many books that come with key, but even then, you might need some extra explanation, or perhaps, I may suggest some book titles where to find the exercises for your level.
 * with your **listening skill**: maybe you are having difficulty with your listening and you don't want anybody notice this. Let's train!
 * with **language** in general: you don't know why you make your greatest effort but you can't pass.Let's see where the problem is.

If you need to contact me, you can do it these ways:
 * I'm at the Lola Mora Institute, from **Monday to Thursday**, 7.00- 10.30 pm (except Tuesday, from 8.20 to 10.30). You'll find me at the Teachers' room, at the Computer's lab, or else ask Gabriel (el preceptor de Inglés).
 * Leave me a message here [|www.ieslolamora-atp.wikispaces.com] letting me know why you need me and when you think you can meet me at the Institute (for essay corrections I need the essay printed so that I can write some mistakes or make suggestions).

Remember you can have access to the English Library if you paid the Cooperadora's fee. If there are books to buy because they are really useful for students, we could suggest that Cooperadora buy them. For students of the last year of the career, if you think there is something to change or warn other students, here there is a wonderful space to let everybody know. We are all ears! You could also open a blog to leave your thoughts, make invitations for a day out, and let know each other better, including students from other years.Try and see! And, last but not least, I'm also in charge of the computer's lab, so if you need internet, let me know. The idea is that you don't use it for private personal purposes but for educational ones. You know this, right?

For any questions you have, for suggestions to make to improve our teaching, for anything you want your authorities of the Institute to hear from you but you don't know how, look for me and we'll work together. I'm sure everybody will look this with good eyes, students, teachers and authorities, as long as you **make a good use** of this means. I count on that already!
