Looking for a Spanish teacher or Spanish classes for adults in Ithaca?

Hi, my name is Dulce.

I am a Spanish tutor with more than 5 years of experience in adult learning. I have taught Spanish in private settings and currently working as a Spanish instructor.

I have been through the challenging experience of learning a foreign language, so I know that learning a language takes time and a lot of practice.

Over the past years, I have had the privilege of helping many students speak Spanish fluently. For business/career, travel/ tourism, and many other purposes. So I’m confident I can help you too!

To make the learning process easier and more engaging,  I bring my lessons to your points of interest, passions, and hobbies, so the lesson is all about you.

There is nothing to fear. I use demonstrations (gestures, images, audio, and videos) to support comprehension and understanding. To consolidate the learning, I provide a friendly and safe environment that strengthens your learning process.  We will use the TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) throughout the process. Role play, simulations, and fun activities among other resources will help you practice Spanish in real-life situations. 

If this resonates with you, book your lesson, and let's start building your Spanish. See you very soon!

ME AS A TEACHER

He enseñado más de 2,000 clases en el último año y me encanta ayudar a otras personas aprender mi idioma

Como profesora, uso un método comunicativo, el cual tiene como objetivo aprender un segundo idioma usando ejemplos de la vida real para aprender a comunicarnos en situaciones cotidianas. En este método usamos la gramática como una herramienta más, que muchas veces podremos aprender a través de situaciones comunicativas reales por medio del contexto, la observación y el sentido común. 

 Si eres un principiante, podemos armar un plan con los temas básicos del español para que comiences a aprender este maravilloso idioma. 

----------------

I have taught over 2,000 classes in the last year and I love helping other people learn my language.

As a teacher, I use a communicative method, which aims to learn a second language using real life examples to learn to communicate in everyday situations. In this method we use grammar just as another tool, which we can often learn through real communicative situations through context, observation and common sense

 If you are a beginner, we can put together a plan with the basic topics of Spanish so you can start learning this wonderful language.

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.

¡Hola! 😄 I'm the cheerful Mexican teacher you've been looking for to learn Spanish! 

My name is Karim and I hold a degree in Foreign Languages and a certificate as a Language Teacher from the University of Cambridge. I've been teaching Spanish since 2014 and learning languages for 10 years now. So I know what it feels like to struggle with a foreign language both as a student and as a teacher. 

Generally, I'm a dynamic, joyful, and patient teacher, so there's no problem if you're a beginner and '¡Hola, amigo!' is the only phrase you tell your Hispanic friend; or if you're intermediate and you'd like to improve your level to travel or study abroad. You'll be taught by using the best teaching methods and approaches to become fluent enough to be able to speak with more than 450 million people around the globe. 🌎

Your lessons will be fully customized according to your own needs. In general, we will have conversations based on your goals and interests so that you actively learn and practice vocabulary and structure. You won't be taught too many grammar rules unless you require this. 

So, what are you waiting for? Hit the "book trial" button and prepare yourself for a thrilling journey! 

I very much look forward to speaking with you in a trial lesson!  😉

Warm regards,
