Ms Rosa Rodriguez-Garrido

About

I joined Kingston University in January 2006 as a part-time language tutor, teaching Spanish language courses at all levels in the Kingston Language Scheme (KLS) Programme. Since 2012 I have been teaching in the Spanish minor degree programmes and became the Director of KLS managing and organising all language courses. Prior to teaching at HE level, I worked in the commercial sector in a managerial position, devising and implementing a training strategy in a global organisation. I also devised tailor-made Spanish language courses for employees to improve their language skills in the business environment.
