I am a native Spanish instructor who is an expert in giving private online classes in Spanish to adults using Zoom and Skype.
My home is Barcelona, the city where I’ve grown and developed as a professional and had the chance to teach Spanish to students from around the world.
I have 15 years of experience
as an instructor in Spanish
for adults.
I’ve also received very thorough training in teaching. My bachelor’s degree is in Spanish (from the Autonomous University of Barcelona) and I have a master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (from Pablo de Olavide University in Seville). In addition, I have successfully completed the training course for instructors of Spanish as a foreign language given by International House and I am accredited by the Cervantes Institute as an examiner for levels A1, A2, B1 and B2. What’s more, I regularly attend training courses, seminars and workshops to refresh and hone my teaching skills.
I really love teaching. I believe that languages
can be learned at any age if you are
motivated and stick with it.
I speak Spanish, Catalan, English and French and I have some knowledge of Italian and Dutch. This means that I have faced the very same situations that confront anyone who is learning a second language and I know that we always have something new to learn and improve.
I also believe in the cognitive and emotional benefits that come from studying a language. Over my 15 years of teaching, I have seen these positive effects in my students and had the good fortune to help many people better themselves and gain joy speaking Spanish.
To add a few last points to my brief introduction, let me also say that my enthusiasms include culture, good food, yoga, astronomy and hiking in the mountains.
My students say that I’m an entertaining, reliable, responsible instructor and they have an enjoyable time in my class. You can read some of their feedback here.
