Living in Tokyo? See Spanish tutors' reviews & videos

Hi, student! Are you beginner in Spanish? Intermediate? Or maybe you are already advanced?  I'll tell you how I can help you depending on your current level.
-Beginners: I love working with beginners! I will adapt to your pace and your learning style. We will work on the basics of Spanish and, without realizing it, you will learn about the feared Spanish grammar :)
-Intermediate: excellent! Let's talk and continue developing your skills. I will always give you feedback and explain the grammatical content to continue advancing.
-Advanced: let's have conversations about everything! News, music, culture... Whatever you want! We will improve what is necessary.

A little about me...
- I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- I have been a Spanish teacher for years, I love my job.
- I love music, I am a singer.
- I consider that education is the fundamental solution to improve the world, that is why I dedicate myself to teaching.

What characterize me?
1) I personalize the classes to your needs and personal goals with the language.
2) I prepare and provide all your study materials and practical exercises (presentations PPT, audio and video files, news articles and homework).
3) I combine reading, listening and speaking excercises so you can learn and practice all the four different skills.
4) I like including cultural content (about my country and about Latin America).
5) Plus: if you are interested in Argentine Spanish (from Buenos Aires) I can show you the characteristics of "voseo" and its conjugations. In addition, we can focus the classes on the Argentine accent and its special pronunciations.

I invite you to schedule your trial class with me so you can tell me about your motivations, objectives and experiences (if any) with Spanish.

Hello there! My name is Luciana, I am a language tutor with 2 years of experience (both in-person and online classes).

**Please, if you can, select Google Meet as our class platform**

✨About me

I consider myself to be a very patience, disciplined, kind and creative person.

I am passionate about history, pastries, literature, linguistics, animals ( 100% dog lover! 🐕) and, of course, languages. So if you are interested in any of those topics we’ll make a good match :]

And if you don’t, that’s ok! I find very nourishing learning about topics outside my comfort zone.

I speak Spanish since i am a native speaker from Peru, with a neutral accent. I do speak English fluently, German and a bit of Japanese also.

✨ Methodology

I use a methodology based on research and methods proven by psychologists and teachers. My classes are ALWAYS prepared and structured to meet your needs. The methodologies i use are:

1️⃣ TPRS  (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling) and comprehensible input -> For learning grammar and vocabulary in a engaging, stress-free way!

2️⃣ Breaking down your favorite songs, stories and articles -> To practice reading, vocab and pronunciation!

3️⃣ Direct method (speaking only in Spanish for intermediate or advanced students) -> To strengthen your speaking and listening abilities

ALSO, i always explain grammar step by step and provide flashcards to remember vocabulary (based on the science proved method “Spaced repetition”).

I provide each of my students a personalized plan and homework based on their goals, needs and way of learning.

✨ Teaching Philosophy

I do believe that the ability we have for learning is truly a gift, as i said in the video “The ability to learn is a seed that, with love and  discipline, can grow into a beautiful flower or a juicy fruit”. As a tutor, my goal is to give you the best education possible so you can see progress and value the time and effort you are putting into the language.

I’d love to see you in my class soon!

 🚫IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT (TRIAL) LESSONS🚫

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. The programme will especially boost your speaking skills for everyday situations in an organized, structured and visual way. Materials will be sent every weekend (video lessons, PDFS, flashcards, grammar games...) and all skills will be covered. 

📚🎥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.

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 confortable expressing themselves and learn at their own pace.

 I have studied several languages including French, German, English and Italian. 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.

!Hola! Mi nombre es Estefanía, tengo 33 años y vivo en la Ciudad de México

!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.

Graduated in Hispanic Philology and Masters in Applied French, I have always kept up with my teaching training and have also completed a CELTA course for English teachers. This further training has provided me with the familiarity to different teaching methodologies, which have proven to be extremely useful in my classes.

I have worked as a Spanish teacher for 13 years, both in-person and online. My job duties typically include designing and delivering Spanish courses for all levels. Also a 13 year-experienced translator. I have recently worked on a project which involved developping Spanish lessons and units to be delivered online, so I am used to creating content of my own.

My teaching method is mostly conversational and based on a combination of skills. I use plenty of audiovisuals and various activities to get students to speak. My constant interest in professional training has allowed me to become familiar with techniques and tools that are essential in today´s second language learning.

My lessons are all similarly structured: a grammar point, a few exercises to get started, then controlled practice, and finally an audio or a video related to the topic.

I am a timely and responsible person. The classes are focused on your needs, and your objectives, 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 and SIELE 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.

¡Hola,soy Marlene! 😃I live in Puebla City, one of the main cities in Mexico. I studied architecture and music. As a Spanish tutor, I have taught over three years to people from all over the world.

Have you ever had or overheard a conversation where you couldn't understand anything because it's not what you've learned in books? Don't worry, in our classes we will learn how we really speak in everyday situations 😉.

I consider myself a very patient and dynamic person, so the classes with you will be personalized according to your needs and interests. I will help you with grammar, pronunciation, Mexican slang, or just have a very pleasant conversation. Conversation is the most important activity when learning a language; that's why from the very first class, we will be speaking Spanish.

I will very happy to meet you!😀
