Spanish is my first language and I have specialized training in teaching Spanish. I graduated in Translation and Interpretation from the University of Salamanca, Spain, and I did my Erasmus at the University of Geneva.

Immerse yourself in a unique learning experience with my tailor-made courses, carefully designed for you. Discover the Spanish language by following the communicative approach where conversation plays a central role. Together, we will explore grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, while navigating the cultural dimension of the language. In a relaxed atmosphere, I also offer captivating visual aids to make your learning even richer.

We work on your specific objectives, whether:
- Be more comfortable in conversation (at work or with friends)
- Ensure complete preparation for life in Spain, combining linguistic and cultural improvement

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

● All levels ● All ages (children and adults) ● Native Spanish level

👋 Hello everyone!! My name is Evelyn, I am Peruvian and my native language is Spanish. Currently, I live in Geneva where I am pursuing my master's degree. Teaching languages is my passion, and I have extensive experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages and levels.

🎓 My teaching method is completely personalized to meet the needs and goals of each student. I use a variety of educational materials – books, videos, songs, games, and practical exercises – to make learning enjoyable and effective. The courses begin in English for clarity, then quickly transition to a conversational Spanish environment, allowing for rapid immersion and smoother learning. Each student has a personalized plan that they can review and adjust to focus on the topics most important to them. This plan is documented to track progress as well as the key points of each session.

🏠 Classes can be held in-person at your home, mine, or another agreed-upon location, including areas around France. Online classes are also available. For in-person lessons, I provide physical materials (or digital ones if preferred), and for online courses, all documents are shared via email or Google Classroom.

💬 In addition to teaching grammar and vocabulary, I focus on practical conversation to ensure that you feel comfortable and motivated to speak. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment to help you progress in Spanish.

🇪🇸 If you are looking for a teacher to support you in your Spanish learning journey, do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to help you reach your goals!

I'm originally from Barcelona and currently live in Geneva. I'm a Spanish speaker and I offer help with your Spanish language training. I don't provide full tutoring. I simply offer learning assistance, helping with homework or teaching through practice. Not because of a lack of knowledge, as I fully understand Spanish grammar and syntax, but because of a lack of teaching experience.
