Experienced teacher for online classes of Spanish, Italian, French and English as foreign language
From 35 C$ /h
Learning a language is entering another world. It doesn't only add opportunities to our lives but it also provides us with freedom, and it gives us the invaluable chance to know ourselves better. I am not only a language teacher but I "live" the language by travelling.
My aim is to create interest and engage my students in language learning, which is also learning about a different culture and traditions. I have a communicative approach and I am aware that in order to have acquisition both hemispheres of the bran must be involved. Thus, creating motivation and curiosity is one of the first steps. My classes are engaging as I tend to involve all the four skills (reading, speaking, writing and listening)
I can also prepare for GCSE and A-Levels.
