원어민 쌤 프로필

Teaching Spanish for three years, online since 2014. *NEW Verbling teacher SPECIAL: Single and bulk lessons at 6 USD*. My lessons are customized with teaching materials to help you master the language.

Note for new students:
As I am also teaching through another platform on the Internet, would you mind sending me a message indicating what is your preferred day(s) and time(s) for classes before scheduling? This is just to ensure class time slots don't clash with one another.
"¡Muchas gracias!" (Thank you very much!)

BACKGROUND
I was born to Spanish parents in northest Spain—a nice region close to France and bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Foreign languages were my favorite subject when I was a high-school student. I graduated in Education (three-year university diploma) and in English (BA degree), and then obtained an MA degree in Translation (English-Spanish)—my thanks to God!
My experience as a teacher has allowed me to work with students of all ages. I was a school (primary education) teacher for about three years, and then I worked for a short time as a teacher of English with both adult and teenage groups.
With a background in education and languages, I then took a short course for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language, which introduced me to the field of ELE ("Español lengua extranjera"). Having been a language learner myself, and with good language skills, being able to teach Spanish was something I found appealing. Since the end of 2014 I have been teaching Spanish online (adult students).

TEACHING STYLE
Working with beginner-to-intermediate students for over a year, I have realized that motivation is a key factor in learning a language. Listening to and trying to cater for my students' needs, I find that using visual aids is usually of great help—just as it is finding out what each student's learning style is. In 1-on-1 lessons, I have been designing my own teaching materials and encouraging students in their learning process. I also have used "mini projects" to get students involved and motivated, and we have worked on both speaking and writing skills.

At present I am exploring teaching to groups of students (group lessons) on verbling. As I take my first steps in this new mode of teaching, I hope I'll be able to help many students take their Spanish to the next level. Whether you're thinking of taking up Spanish, or whether you speak some Spanish and don't want it to go rusty, I hope you'll join one of the groups! "¡Bienvenidos a bordo!" (Welcome aboard!)
