🇪🇸 OUR LESSONS:

My lessons are personalized to each student, very relaxed and easygoing. They are mainly focused on conversation, while also explaining specific grammar topics whenever necessary. My students receive constant feedback and of course any topic of conversation is welcomed!

🗣  CONVERSATION  ➡️   In our class, I will share my screen so you can see a whiteboard where I write down the new vocabulary and, as they come up in the conversation, we will also review the grammar topics you need to work on in more depth. Basically, the lesson is always guided by conversation. Our goal is to speak, speak, and speak, while at the same time gradually improving grammar and morphology.

 💌  GRAMMAR  ➡️  Sometimes it’s necessary to pause and pay attention to certain grammar rules or focus on verb conjugations, so we can also dedicate time to reviewing these in depth in order to use them more confidently in conversation.

Hi! I am Victor. I offer conversational classes. One of the best ways to improve in a language is by talking. The most important thing is to be able to live Spanish as a part of your daily life. Every little detail since you wake up until you go to bed. And always immersed in  things you like. So, we can talk about movies, books, history, traveling, food, sports, or any topic that is part of your life.

We can use videos, podcast, articles, music, books, newspapers, phases to start a conversation. We have endless topics. And I can help you with all mistakes you may have. If it is needed we can review grammar accordingly with your common mistakes. But do not forget that make mistakes is one of the best ways to improve. It is important for me that you feel in a safe space.

También podemos tener clases de conversación más casuales. Podemos hablar de un tema y te puedo mostrar algo de gramática de acuerdo a tus errores más comunes. La practica de conversación es lo que más ayuda para que puedas mejorar tu español.

I always adjust to your level. 

*For me the best option is zoom.

Hello! Welcome. I'm Natalí, from Buenos Aires (Argentina). I'm a Spanish teacher and I'm also studying to become a Music and Singing teacher. Languages, music, and teaching are my favorite things to do. I believe education is the fundamental solution to improving the world, which is why I love being a teacher.

I've been teaching for over 5 years. I mainly focus on the following cases:
- You're a beginner. You want to learn Spanish from scratch, or perhaps you learned a little in the past but you don't remember some things.
- You're about to visit a Spanish-speaking country and need to learn how to move around and socialize with native speakers.
- You have a partner or family who speaks Spanish and you want to communicate with them.
- You're an intermediate student.
- You want to move to Argentina and you need to learn about my country's culture and our specific Spanish.
- You're interested in Argentine culture, the voseo and our distinctive accent.
- DELE exam: I can help you preparing for the DELE A1 or DELE A2 exam.
- You want to improve your conversation skills.

How my lessons are?
1) I tailor classes to your personal needs and goals.
2) I prepare and provide all your study materials and practical exercises (PPT presentations, audio and video files, articles and news, books, homework).
3) I combine reading and comprehension, listening, and speaking practices to learn and practice the four skills: reading, speaking, listening, and writing.
4) I like to include cultural content (about my country and Latin America).

I invite you to schedule your trial class with me so you can tell me about your motivations, goals and needs.

Hello! I’m Carlos, a Spanish teacher based in the beautiful and sunny city of Malaga, in southern Spain. I have a passion for connecting with people from diverse cultures and sharing my native language along with the richness of Spanish culture. I consider myself on being positive, cheerful, and sociable.

Currently, I teach Spanish online, working with students from around the globe. With over five years of experience in online teaching, and ten years at various language schools in Malaga, I offer a rich background and understanding to enhance your learning experience.As a dynamic and attentive teacher, I prioritize effective communication while ensuring a solid grasp of grammar. I believe that while grammar is essential, it should always complement a communicative approach to learning. I customize my lessons to address the individual needs, proficiency levels, and goals of each student

To enrich your learning process, I actively seek out engaging materials and resources, such as images, videos, grammar exercises, vocabulary lists and interactive activities. My goal is to provide you with tools that make learning Spanish fun and effective.

I'm excited to embark on this language journey with you!

I conclude with my  favorite proverb:

"To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world"

As a teacher, I use a communicative method that aims to learn a second language through real-life examples to be able to communicate in everyday situations. My classes are fun and effective. With me, you will learn grammar, vocabulary, culture, and we will focus on conversation. If you are a beginner, we can create a plan with the basic topics of Spanish so that you can start learning this wonderful language.

I hope to see you soon!

ME AS A TEACHER AND TEACHING STYLE

I consider myself to be an easy person to talk to, patient and fun. I have experience teaching different kinds of students from kids to adults in both online and classroom settings (more than 3000 lessons online + 3 years of classroom setting experience). I have been implementing a combination of the Flipped classroom and communicative approach into the lessons and so far, I have seen great improvement in my students' ability to communicate. My focus is to make you speak NATURAL and EVERYDAY Spanish, and understand Spanish speakers thanks to a system and a 30' routine.

TYPES OF LESSONS AND MATERIALS: 

🎥Action programme (B1-B2 LEVEL): we'll learn Spanish language and culture together thanks to the famous series called "AQUÍ NO HAY QUIEN VIVA". If you're an intermediate student this programme will specifically enhance your listening skills and will improve your performance in everyday situations so that you can connect effectively with locals.

📚Flipped classroom programme (A1-B2LEVEL): You'll be learning everyday language and culture during these sessions by affordable mini tasks that you can do in 30' a day.

📚🎥Flex lessons: They can be a mix of structure lesson (the one above) and flexible lessons.

EXTRA:

⭐I give mini lessons on my social networks.

I offer conversation practice and structured courses, from absolute beginner to C1, grammar drills and homework if you wish. Wide experience with adults and senior students. I will provide you with notes and examples from our lessons, during the lesson in Google Docs, or after the lesson, via e-mail. You don't need to decide in advance if you prefer Latin American Spanish or European Spanish, I can teach you the main differences and help you decide. 

In our first lesson or trial we will figure out how your learning plan will be, depending on your individual needs, learning style and goals. If it's your first online lesson, there's no need to stress, I'm very understanding and patient. 

Oh and to tell you a little about me...I love animals, languages, reading and traveling.

My passion is helping professionals master conversational fluency quickly. I focus on real-world scenarios, so you can start applying the language immediately in travel and business. We can learn from the talk and in real contexts, colloquial situations and related to your goals, we will have a fun and very laughable class, practicing all the skills. I am able to teach Spanish from basic to advanced levels, I have experience preparing for the DELE exam. I usually use many tools that allow for student comfort, as well as a variety of activities that stimulate the progress and development of all skills, oral, auditory, written and reading.
