MINI BIO – IKER FIGUEROA
Professional Profile
Jr. high student.
Academic Profile
Smart student, good language knowledge. He needs to get more comfortable using English and avoid switching to Spanish in class. He can sometimes struggle to consolidate certain tenses or structures.
Friendly teenager who completes all the exercises. He is competitive in a positive way, so games like Baamboozle work well. He loves football, sports, and video games (bring up these topics, and he might talk about them for the entire class, this can be useful if you notice he’s not very engaged in the lesson).
Wants to be a professional football player or open his own restaurant.
Tends to speak Spanish during class, so gentle reminders to use English are helpful. He has good vocabulary and understands well—it’s just about encouraging him to put it into practice
