Certified Spanish Teacher for Japanese and Turkish students
From 45 C$ /h
¡Hola a todos! Minnasan konnichiwa! Herkese merhaba! I am a Spanish teacher with more than nine years of experience and I am here to offer myself to help you with your Spanish adventure.
Have you ever tried before? Is this the first time you try out Spanish? Do not worry, I am a patient tutor and I will try my best to make you improve with my techniques. I have been teaching online for the last three years with more than a hundred students.
We will learn how to speak Spanish from lesson number one and I will guide you through this new adventure with lots of deduction, critical thinking, and interactive activities and games. I can also adapt to your needs in case you need to improve a skill or your grammar knowledge. My approach to grammar is cognitive grammar (teaching you how a Spanish brain works with images and examples) and comparative grammar (comparing you mother tongue or English grammar with Spanish).
Are you ready? ¡Vamos! ikimasho! Hadi gidelim!

About Me
Getting to know a bit about a person helps us have a better idea of what kind of teacher we are dealing with. I decided to create this section to talk about my likes and abilities here, just like I would do having a little chat besides a good coffee so that you get to know me a bit more.
I came from a very small town in the South of Spain called Alcalá del Río, where I grew up until becoming an adult. However, I have always dreamt of traveling the world and learning new languages (not specifically in this order), therefore, I have always had the feeling of being a world citizen. I think it is crucial to spread respect, admiration, and love for other cultures and languages, and I always do it by giving a good example of what I promote, so that is why I have already learned how to defend myself in five languages and my language list is continuously growing.
I have traveled to more than 40 countries, many of them by myself, some others with friends, but always with the eagerness of a teenager to learn the local culture in a fast-paced way, by talking and interacting with locals, visiting their homes , and by putting myself out of my comfort zone. In my opinion, these are basic skills to be able to appreciate what we have back at home.
I also like doing sports. I love running long distances and my best timing has been running 11 km in one and a half hours. I hope I can get better at this because this activity produces lots of endorphins!
Something that surprises my friends is the fact that I come from a family devoted to music. My father and my siblings are singers and musicians. I also studied music at the conservatory for 14 years! I can play classic flute and I would like to join your school's orchestra, if you may.
I think this is all, if you got to read until here, now you may know more about me and consider if I fit with the criteria you are looking for in a teacher. Thank you for your attention!
