About Me
italki teacher since Mar 2, 2013Interest topicReadingWritingHistory
My name is Manuel and I am a professional teacher and translator of both English and Spanish. I live in central Argentina and work as a teacher and translator.
Me as a Teacher
After I finished highschool, I joined college to study English and Spanish. I studied a wide variety of subjects, such as Literature, Grammar, Linguistics, Phonology, and Discourse Analyses, among others. I have spent the last seven years learning this amazing phenomenon called language. Nowadays, I have an associate degree in Translation, a certification as a Spanish teacher and I am finishing a Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Linguistics.
Apart from studying, I have worked as a teacher. I have experience in teaching both languages to teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced levels. I have resources to teach grammar, written expression, vocabulary, reading and conversation.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are addapted to the student's needs. I believe that each class has to find a balance between theory and practice, grammar and conversation. Conversation is one of the greatest aims in learning a language, but an efficient conversation needs a strong theoretic background. Above all, I try to give my students all they need to use language for everyday situations.My teaching material
