!Hello! My name is Estefanía, i´m 33 and I live in Mexico City 

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.

Our lessons for beginner follow a sequential program, each building on the last for optimal learning. By the end, you'll:

• Master fundamental Spanish structures and grammar.
• Command the top 1000 words, using them fluently.
• Develop a natural and clear Spanish pronunciation.
• Gain insights into cultural nuances.
• Discover your unique learning style and effective strategies to advance your Spanish.

Periodic written and spoken assessments will ensure we stay on course. 

I will create flashcards for you to review the notes of each lesson and provide detailed homework to ensure you use your time effectively outside our lessons too!
 

¡Hola! My name is María and I'm from Mexico. 

I have 3 years of teaching experience. I majored in Languages from Universidad de las Américas Puebla and I obtained a certification to teach Spanish as a foreign language. My classes use a blended methodology that incorporates grammar and communication activities in a laid-back and dynamic way. I have hand picked or created all the materials according to the needs of my students and I often use resources like audios, videos and games to make the lesson more interactive. My main goal is to help my students feel comfortable expressing themselves and learn at their own pace.

My favorite part of language teaching is getting to know the cultures and interests of my students. I'd be happy to work on a plan that fits your needs. You don't need any previous experience learning Spanish or a foreign language. Since I am also a doctoral student I only have a limited number of hours. However, I have a flexible schedule and if you don’t see a time that works for you we can discuss an alternative during the trial lesson.

Hope to see you soon!

My name is Ignacio, I am Argentinean, and I live in Buenos Aires. I am a lawyer and a Spanish teacher.

I enjoy music, cinema, art, and literature.

My passion is teaching Spanish. I teach in many high schools in Buenos Aires, and I am studying to be a professor at the University of Buenos Aires. I give a lot of dedication to my work and I show it every day in my classes.

It is important to adapt to the needs of each student. You can choose whether you prefer to improve (speaking skills, fluency, writting, accent, or learn grammar)

I use tools like coursebooks, movies, flashcards, and various different documents.

My wish is to see you motivated and eager to continue learning! 

¡Nos vemos!

Passionate about languages and intercultural exchanges, I have taught English and Spanish as foreign languages for over 15 years in Puerto Rico, France, and online.  I have had the opportunity to teach a wide variety of students from various backgrounds, integrating multicultural teaching resources to diversify learning styles.  I happen to believe that there is not one and only way of teaching or learning a foreign language.  Therefore, I adapt my lessons and methods to the students’ objectives, needs and interests.  My goal is always to offer an open, honest, communicative and supportive environment in which every student can feel motivated and appropriately challenged. 

My experience teaching Spanish has shown me how effective it is to have an immersive approach. This helps the student to use the linguistic resources they already know and thus gain confidence in speaking more quickly 🗣 

I offer a close accompaniment and guidance to discover the fundamental mechanism of the language. I will take into account where we start from and your goals for learning Spanish 👩‍🏫

Also, I propose you to get into cognitive learning. But what does this concept mean? 

Cognitive learning is a pedagogical method that is based on experience and the processing of acquired information in order to assimilate knowledge. I plan my classes using different materials and resources that allow you to enter into context so that you can better retain what you have learnt. 

My name is Mercedes and I am from a beautiful city in the south of Spain called Cádiz. I have been teaching Spanish for more than 10 years and during this time I have learnt a lot teaching both in person and online. I was able to start my teaching path in the lovely capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh 💙 

I am certified as a Spanish language teacher through International House, a worldwide Organization that stands up for a communicative method. 

I enjoy my work very much and would love to help you 🙌🙌 

Book an initial consultation with no obligation. That way, you will be able get to know more about me and my methodology. I will be happy to hear about your reasons for wanting to learn Spanish.

¡Te espero! 🙋‍♀️
