From 43.31 C$ /h
For me, classes are primarily a safe, professional, and confidential environment where I encourage students to interact naturally and feel comfortable, fostering fluid communication and a pleasant atmosphere. Classes are always tailored to each student's needs and goals, making dialogue and communication between teacher and student essential. My objective is always for students to learn and to use the most appropriate tools for each case, so I employ a wide variety of materials and methods, from audiovisual to written formats. Materials ranging from communicative approaches to traditional ones are used, depending on each student's needs and abilities. I also prepare materials for each student to practice and complete assignments, which are then reviewed. The main goal is for students to learn to communicate naturally in Spanish and to support their learning process both linguistically and culturally. Therefore, requests and suggestions are welcome, provided they are relevant to the context. My experience to date has always been with adults of different nationalities, and my professional life has always been in an international environment. I love getting to know and learn about the culture and customs of all my students, and for that reason, in my classes we focus not only on grammar but also on the culture and environment that surrounds us. The essential goal is to learn to communicate in every situation.

About Me
My name is Covadonga and my classes are a safe, professional and confidential place, where I like my students to interact naturally and feel comfortable so the communication may flow and we may enjoy a nice atmosphere. The classes are always adjusted to the needs and objectives of each student; therefore, it is essential to always have good dialogues and communication between the student and the teacher. My goal is that the student keeps always learning and to use the most appropriate tools for each case, and that ́s why I use a great variety of materials and methods. That it is to say, from communicative methods to a more traditional approach according to the needs and abilities of each individual. I also prepare homework so each student may practice and do different exercises that are subsequently corrected. The main goal is that students may communicate naturally in Spanish and help them in their learning process both linguistically and culturally, so any suggestion or demand is welcome whenever they are appropriate in each situation.
My experience up-to-today has been linked to adults from different nationalities, and my working experience has always been carried out in an international environment, and I love to learn and know the culture and the habits of all my students. This is the same reason why my classes are not only focused on grammar but also on the culture and the world around us. My main objective is that you learn to communicate in every situation and keep learning.
My professional career has always been related to languages, either through translation or by acting as an intermediary in customer service tasks, and I am currently teaching Spanish to people from different nationalities and backgrounds. I love to keep learning something new and seeing people make progress with my help, and teaching Spanish allows me to achieve both goals.
