BIOGRAPHY
In the simplicity of words and music, I find the power to teach, express and connect.
WHO AM I?
Hi, I’m Rick Maurer, a Californian who’s been in Burgos, Spain, for over 30 years. My career has been an exciting journey through music, education and translation. As a musician, I am a guitarist, singer and songwriter with three original albums under my belt. I’ve had the pleasure of playing in numerous rock, blues, pop and folk bands. In the field of teaching, I have more than 30 years of experience in schools, academies and private lessons, using a fun and innovative method.
EXPERIENCE AND CAREER
I got my start teaching in Rome in 1988. Then, after intensive training in London, I continued my educational path in Granada and finally in Burgos. I have learned the importance of adapting classes to the individual needs of each student, a skill that I also apply in my translation and proofreading services.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
I have a teaching degree from the University of Burgos and a Teacher Training certificate from International House, London. This training, along with my experience, has provided me with a solid base for my pedagogical approach.
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I firmly believe in adapting my teaching to the individual needs of my students. I love interacting with people and seeing progress in my students. As a musician, I always seek to improve and learn new songs, keeping my passion for music alive.
Intereses y Actividades Extra Profesionales:
In my spare time, I enjoy a wide range of music, reading, spending time with family and friends, and I have a fondness for good wine, quality beer and making my own pacharán.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
I consider myself fortunate since I enjoy my work in teaching, music and translation. My goal is to continue with these passions for as long as possible, sharing knowledge and experiences both in the classroom and on stage.
