Yaiza Ortells
Head of Modern Foreign Language
My name is Miss Yaiza Duque, this is my third year at GEMS Founders School and I am Head of MFL. We offer French and Spanish in Secondary and French in Primary. It has been such a pleasure taking that role last year, which I am enjoying it along with my teaching. I teach Spanish at GFS as I am native speaker with a Master in Education and QTS from Spain and UK. My love for languages took me teaching to different countries. My last school was in Kenya where I could explore the wildlife and a different kind of life. I am also looking forward to leading students into a lifestyle where they can understand the importance of culture and tolerance and become the best they can be in every aspect of their life.
