Spanish tutoring with communicative and engaging activities
From 56 C$ /h
My classes are lively and fun. When I teach Spanish, I create an atmosphere in which students feel they can communicate better each time in a wide range of situations and where they feel at ease whatever their ability. Foreign languages is an area of education that I enjoy greatly and I would like the opportunity to make learning for others as enjoyable and fulfilling as my own has been. As a teacher, it is my role to provide opportunities for all, regardless of ability and to ensure that everyone has a positive experience.

About Me
I was born in Madrid and I always lived in a small town in the North West of the city with my family. I always loved foreign languages, especially English, and the English-speaking countries. I love travelling and knowing people from all over the world, therefore, I always wanted to live abroad and teach Spanish as a foreign language. After studying English Philology, I really enjoyed the subjects of linguistics and teaching methodology and I decided to do a master´s degree in teaching. My teaching experiences have been very positive, and I realized how wonderful and fulfilling is to be able to share my own culture with the students and how much they enjoy learning about others in order to realize about their own identity.
