Hi! My name is Alicia. I have a Bachelor's degree as English teacher for primary, and I have so much experience teaching languages, mostly Spanish. I enjoy teaching, do not might your age or your level, I am sure that you can improve your Spanish with me. I dislike the boring exercises about grama, I prefer talking with you and solve your questions in the moment. But, if you prefer exercises, I can do it. I have a lot of resources to do in my classes. My experience as a teacher tell me that a teacher has to be really involve with their students' interests and personalities in order to encourage them and find the way to do their best. Students work better with a person who worry about and really empathizes with who you really are. I have several resources on Internet that I have created for helping my students. They are really useful and can help you with your Spanish while you are not doing classes online. But I also have an interesting Facebook if you really enjoy social networks. ...
