Experience

Pedro Munoz has extensive teaching experience with roles as a Spanish teacher at Sydney Community College and English Teacher at the Huaiyin Institute of Technology. These roles have allowed Pedro to be able to fine-tune his skills, particularly in classroom planning, delivery and evaluation.

Achievements

Pedro’s greatest achievements are connected to his involvement in the community. His successful coordination of cultural diversity plans and programs through the Fairfield International Festival of Nations was acknowledged by the Fairfield Arts Council. Pedro’s achievements in advocacy are demonstrated by his involvement in the Oxfam International Youth Parliament, part of a coordinated effort to combat lack of education, health, social and financial development in young people from developing nations. Pedro also worked for the Sydney Multicultural Community Services, a not-for-profit organisation that received the Best Practices in Community and Cultural Planning Services for Refugees and New Arrivals award in 2006.

Teaching Style

Pedro is a demonstrator and facilitator. He likes to show his students how to complete a task properly, or work through a problem, and then help them master the task or problem solution. It’s important to him that his students can independently solve similar problems by using and adapting demonstrated methods.

He aims to create an interactive environment so that students can practice language exercises through group and individual activities.

Something Unique

When Pedro gets the chance, he likes to get out his paint brushes and put art to canvas. He is consumed by the idea that writing can be appreciated for its visual value so he is now learning Chinese calligraphy.
