About Me

My name is Patricia and I come from a small town in La Rioja, northern Spain.

I am passionate about various things, like sports, water and stories. My ideal day would be one that includes a slow but yummy breakfast with a bit of sunlight, some outdoor sport like swiming, hiking or climbing and a cultural activity in good company, for example a reading club meeting or a cinema date. :)

Currently I live in Berlín, where I can try to fit my days into that ideal quite often. The only thing that, sometimes, gets difficult is the sun part. That's why I try to travel back home from time to time. As well as to visit family and friends.

What I love the most about my work as a teacher is the space we create where we focus on the tools we have and the ones we need in order to understand and comunicate with each other, to tell our stories and build our opinions.
As I see it, it is not just about learning "words" and "grammar rules", it's about communicating, learning and building ideas. I also love seeing the developement in the learning process of my students.

Education

Bachelor in Philosophy
Masters Degree in Didactics of Spanish as a Foreing Language
DELE Examiner
Non-formal Educator
Teacher at Instituto Cervantes Berlín

Experience / Qualifications

My experience studying Philosophy and 10 years working as a non formal educator have allowed me to create a hybrid style in teaching where learning critically about the world (languages, geography, social movements, literature, art, etc.) is the bases, but doing it in a way that is fun, interactive and creative is what keeps the wheel going.
I also studied a Master's degree in Language didactics, which has helped me go deeper in the interest of sharing culture. My lessons are always oriented to develope communication skills, no matter if it is a grammar class or a reading club.

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Joana :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸
