SIELE - Spanish Tutors & Teachers

Hola, soy Gustavo. Soy profesor de español desde hace 5 años. Me especialicé en la enseñanza del español para extranjeros en el CEPE-UNAM, luego de estudiar periodismo en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. He escrito para revistas y periódicos en mi país, pero mi verdadera pasión está en enseñar español. Me gusta que mis alumnos conozcan la cultura, la gastronomía y la historia de América Latina. Recomiendo muchos libros y música. Me interesa que mis alumnos estén en contacto, cada vez que se pueda, con el español. Durante las clases no hablo otro idioma porque mi prioridad es mi linda lengua. Te invito a conocer mi blog, es un sitio que sirve de apoyo para los estudiantes. En el blog encontrarás material para aumentar tu vocabulario, consejos y sobre todo temas que complementan las clases tándem. https://aprendamoses.wordpress.com/ y https://www.facebook.com/espanolendf/ ¡Vamos, APRENDAMOS ESPAÑOL!

Hello! I My name is Aina and I a native Spanish teacher. I have a master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and have taken part in a wide variety of courses related to SFL teaching, which have helped me not only to further my training and keep my skills up to date, but also to improve my teaching performance. In addition, I have extensive experience in preparing teaching materials, which have been presented in teacher-training workshops. Furthermore, I have worked as a Spanish teacher at the Cervantes Institute in Salvador de Bahía (Brazil) and as a Spanish language assistant in Paraíba State University (Brazil). In the latter institution I was also responsible for the DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) examinations and had the opportunity to participate in the implementation of the tests as chief examiner. In the preparatory courses for the DELE exam, the student will get familiar to the DELE and will develop the necessary skills to perform well in the exam. I like alternating theory with practical lessons. The general Spanish lessons are flexible and based on the student’s level, tastes and needs. The main goal of these lessons is to get the student acquire communicative skills to manage in different real-life situations. Moreover, we will work on the four communicative skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking through real materials or materials adapted to reality. Grammar explanations are always included.

ABOUT ME: ¡Hola a todos! My name is Sebastián and I'm from South Patagonia in Chile, the southern most place in the world, but I'm currently living in Italy. I’ve been teaching Spanish to non native speakers for more than 8 years in many countries around the world. I'm a professional English-Spanish Translator (Universidad Tecnológica de Chile, INACAP, Santiago de Chile), certified Teacher of ELE (Spanish as a second language) by the Rey Juan Carlos University in Granada, Spain, currently getting my Master's Degree on ELE Teaching at INESEM Institute and I recently got my PREPARADOR SIELE certification. I speak fluent English and mid-advanced Italian. You can have a better idea of me as a teacher by reading the comments left by my students here: https://www.italki.com/teacher/4465467 ABOUT MY TEACHING APPROACH: I know very well the difficulties of learning a new language, and how that affects every student in a different way, that's way I prepare individually each of my lessons, making them both fun and very educational; mixing conversational, grammar and practical approaches, always tailoring them to your needs and preferences. I have much experience teaching from the very basics and also preparing students for their DELE or SIELE exams. I can teach you a very neutral type of Spanish which could be use anywhere (remember there are more than 20 countries and 400 million Spanish speakers in the world), or also teach you the specific Chilean dialect if you need it, as it can be one of the hardest to learn among all. ABOUT MY LESSONS: - Each lesson will be tailored to your needs; we'll find the best way to overcome your learning difficulties. - All files, notes and material used on our lessons will be provided on your own Google Drive folder. - Homework and activities will be sent after each lesson, together with their corrections. - You'll be provided with a full collection of text/work books to do extra studying on your own. - You'll get full access to a bunch of official DELE and SIELE material for studying and preparing the exam. Also, you'll be provided with discounts and free online courses for getting to know better the exams.
