Tailor-made English classes for Spanish speakers

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello everyone!

My name is Patricia. I am a bilingual English/Spanish speaker and a certified language teacher. I have been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004.

I completed my linguistic studies at the National University of Salta and the Institute of English Studies.

I am a committed, responsible, and professional teacher, constantly in training. My patience knows no bounds, and I can find a thousand ways to explain anything if necessary.

This is a specific English course for native Spanish speakers designed to help you maintain basic communication with people in your work, family, and daily life in just a few weeks.

I specialize in designing customized courses for each of my students, taking into account their knowledge, needs, interests, and requirements. In 19 years as a teacher, I have never taught the same course twice. I can compile and produce study materials exclusively for each student. Are you interested in learning American English? Or are you more comfortable with British English? I'd be happy to plan your classes for the language variety that best suits your needs and tastes. Do you have a job interview? Do you live in the Netherlands and your family, colleagues, and friends only speak English? Do you need to converse with your children's teachers? Don't worry, with my classes, you can do all this and much more in just a few weeks of study.

I'm passionate about languages and communication; teaching is my calling. With me, grammar will never be a problem. I can even promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun!

I look forward to your message :)

About Me

¡Hola a todos!

My name is Patricia. I'm a native Spanish speaker and a teacher. I've been teaching Spanish and English as second languages since 2004 and every day I enjoy my job even more!

I did my Spanish Philology and Literature studies and learned how to become a teacher at the National University of Salta.

I'm a committed, responsible and professional person, who is always eager to learn new things and in permanent training. My patience is infinite and I can find around a thousand ways to explain something if it's necessary :)

I can make a course specifically for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In 14 years of doing this, I've never taught the same course twice. I can even compile and produce tailor-made study material for you. Since I'm absolutely passionate about Spanish, I've studied its different varieties around the world, so I can guarantee that with my classes you'll be able to speak in any Spanish speaking country.

Over the years I've worked with a wide variety of students from teenagers to adults, from complete beginners to proficient people who just wanted to practice speaking. I also help students prepare for the DELE exams, I've done so in the past several years with excellent results.

I'm in love with languages and communication and teaching is my calling, my passion. With me grammar will never ever be an issue, furthermore, I can promise you that sometimes you'll even enjoy it and have fun!

I'd be more than happy to discuss with you what is the best way for you to learn from scratch or improve your Spanish/English in no time.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

I've had two lessons so far, and I'm enjoying them. My teacher explains things clearly, is patient, and creates a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to learn. Even in just a couple of lessons, I feel more motivated and confident to keep learning Spanish. I'm looking forward to continuing!
I am English and speak fluent Dutch. Spanish has always been a language that I loved and wanted to learn. So, I took the plunge and started learning with Patricia. Patricia is such a dedicated highly professional teacher, full of enthusiasm. She inspires me by using all kinds of different lesson methods. Reading, watching films, various writing exercises that she creates herself, she also encourages students to attend monthly get togethers where we all speak Spanish together around a well adorned table of food and drink with a Spanish speaking country as the theme. Her patience with my slow talking and constant mistakes with word endings and verbs is just amazing!! I have been learning for more than half a year now and I hope many more years to come.Thank you Patricia! I highly recommend this teacher.
Patricia is a great teacher - I am having a lot of fun and am learning a lot in her lessons. She is engaging, talks and instructs clearly, has good advice and is extremely patient with my halting Spanish!
Very sweet and patient teacher

Early years Teacher, English, Group1,2,3 teaching.
I specialize in early years and teaching group 1 and 2. I help children with English as a second language to improve their reading and comprehension skills. Children will learn to speak and use the language effectively. I can help children with their school homework and studies.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!
